title: Inhibitory effect of loxiglumide (CR 1505), a cholecystokinin receptor antagonist, on N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl) amine-induced biliary carcinogenesis in Syrian hamsters.
abstract: We evaluated the cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonist loxiglumide (CR1505) for a possible inhibitory effect on biliary carcinogenesis in a hamster model. Experimental group I underwent cholecystoduodenostomy and ligation of the distal end of the common bile duct, after which the animals were injected with N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP) alone. Group II, after the same surgical procedure as in group I, were given injections of BOP and then given loxiglumide in their diet. The sham-operated group underwent simple laparotomy and then were given injections of BOP. Loxiglumide significantly inhibited BOP carcinogenicity in the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile duct but not in the intrahepatic bile ducts or pancreas. Autoradiography showed that loxiglumide significantly suppressed (125)I-Bolton-Hanter (BH)-CCK-8 binding to CCK receptors in the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile duct but not in the liver or pancreas, and CCK binding to its receptors was observed in an area identified as cancer tissue. CCK receptor antagonists have an inhibitory effect on BOP carcinogenesis in the extrahepatic biliary tract, including the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile duct, of Syrian hamsters. The difference in the inhibitory effect of loxiglumide on biliary carcinogenesis in hamsters according to site may be due to differences in CCK receptors or the affinity of loxiglumide for such biliary tract organs. A difference between carcinogenesis in the intrahepatic bile ducts and extrahepatic biliary tract may be another reason.
