[The effects of ONO 3708, a new thromboxane receptor antagonist, on cardiovascular response during the early phases of endotoxin shock in anesthetized dogs].

Abstract

The effects of ONO 3708, a new thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist, on cardiovascular and airway responses, at an early phase during endotoxin shock were investigated in anesthetized dogs. The i.v. infusion (1mg.kg-1) of E.coli endotoxin caused an increase in mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) from 9.9 +/- 1.0 to 19.1 +/- 2.3 mmHg at 5 min, and at 15 min after infusion, elevated MPAP returned toward the control level. Pretreatment with ONO 3708 abolished these effects of endotoxin on pulmonary artery pressure at an early phase. The change in airway pressure reached a maximum of 14.4 +/- 1.7 cmH2O from 10.0 +/- 1.9 at 5 min, followed by a gradual decline toward a baseline value at 30 min in the control group. ONO 3708 significantly attenuated increase in airway pressure induced by E. coli endotoxin. But pretreatment with ONO 3708 could not prevent decrease in systemic arterial pressure and cardiac output induced by endotoxin. These results suggest that role of thromboxane A2 on the cardiovascular response during endotoxin shock is played only on pulmonary vascular changes, and ONO 3708 has a beneficial effect at least during the early phase of endotoxin shock.
