title: Pharmacology of H 394/84, a dihydropyridine neuropeptide Y Y(1) receptor antagonist, in vivo.
abstract: The object of the present paper was to investigate the in vivo pharmacological profile of the dihydropyridine neuropeptide Y Y(1) receptor antagonist 1,4-Dihydro-4-[3-[[[[3-[spiro(indene-4,1'-piperidin-1-yl)]propyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]phenyl]-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid, dimethylester (H 394/84). The renal vasoconstrictor response to neuropeptide Y in anaesthetized rats was dose-dependently antagonized by H 394/84 (ID(50) value=41+/-4 nmol/kg/min), whereas the renal vascular responses to noradrenaline and angiotensin II were only slightly affected by H 394/84 (500 nmol/kg/min). In pigs pretreated with reserpine and transection of sympathetic nerves (depleted of noradrenaline), H 394/84 dose-dependently antagonized renal and femoral vasoconstrictor responses evoked by sympathetic nerve activation (neuronally released neuropeptide Y) and exogenous neuropeptide Y. Significant inhibition was seen already at 1.0 nmol/kg/min, when plasma levels of the antagonist reached 29+/-4 nM. Around 70% of the antagonism remained 90 min after H 394/84 was given. The disposition of H 394/84 fits a biexponential model with initial and terminal half-lives of 2.6 and 48 min, respectively. H 394/84 (100 nmol/kg/min) did not inhibit vascular responses to neuropeptide Y Y(2) receptor-, alpha-adrenoceptor- or purinoceptor-activation in the pig in vivo. It is concluded that H 394/84 is a potent neuropeptide Y Y(1) receptor antagonist with rather long duration of action in vivo. The selectivity and specificity in vivo is more than 100-fold, and H 394/84 antagonizes vascular responses to exogenous and endogenous, neuronally released, neuropeptide Y with similar potency.
