Item Estudo do efeito relaxante de um novo composto doador de óxido nítrico em preparações de traquéias isoladas de ratos(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-02-22) CASTRO, Patrícia Ferreira da Silva; ROCHA, Matheus Lavorenti; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7459866708740096This study evaluated the mechanisms of relaxation of two nitric oxide (NO) donors, ruthenium complex [Ru(terpy)(bdq)NO+]3+ (Terpy) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in isolated trachea of rats. The isolated trachea was sectioned into rings and contracted with carbachol in an organ chamber. The relaxing effect of Terpy and SNP was evaluated at increasing concentrations from 10 nM to 100 μM. Thus, we verified the contribution of the different types of K+ channels, the importance of sGC/cGMP pathway, the inhibition of COX and PDEs, the influence of the extra and intracellular Ca2+ sources and the influence of the epithelium on the relaxing response. The synergism between NO-donor and β-adrenoceptor agonist terbutaline was also verified. Additionally, we have used confocal microscopy in order to analyze the effect of the donors on cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. We have verified that both compounds led to the relaxation of tracheal smooth muscle preparations in a dependent-concentration mode. However, the maximum effect (Emax) induced by Terpy was higher than the effect of SNP. However, the Terpy effects were significantly reduced by pre-contraction with 75 mM KCl. K+ channel blockers like the tetraethylammonium, glybenclamide, BaCl2 and 4-aminopyridine reduced the relaxation to Terpy, while iberiotoxin and apamin did not modify this response. SNP- induced relaxation was significantly reduced by pretreatment with ODQ (sGC inhibitor). On the IBMX (non-selective PDEs inhibitor) increased the relaxation only to SNP. The response to both NO-donors was not altered by indomethacin, thapsigargin (reticular Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor) or ruthenium red (a mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter inhibitor). The epithelium removal reduced the relaxation only to SNP, and it had no effects on Terpy. In relation to synergic effect of the association of NO-donors and terbutaline, we did not observe any additive effect in the relaxation induced by terbutaline. Terpy was more effective than SNP in reducing the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration measured by confocal microscopy. In conclusion, these results have shown that Terpy induces airway smooth muscle relaxation by cGMP-independent mechanisms. It involves Ca2+ and K+ fluxes (mainly via Kv, Kir and KATP channels) across the membrane, and it is more effective in reducing cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and inducing relaxation in the rat trachea than the SNP. In relation to SNP, the most important relaxation pathway seems to be related to sGC/cGMP pathway and activation of Kir and SKCa channels.Item Avaliação do relaxamento vascular induzido por um novo derivado pirazólico protótipo a fármaco (LQFM 021), possível inibidor de fosfodiesterase(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2012-02-28) MARTINS, Daniella Ramos; ROCHA, Matheus Lavorenti; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7459866708740096The inhibition of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) increases intracellular levels of cyclic nucleotides 3 ': 5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and 3 ': 5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which has many physiological and biochemical effects, especially in cardiovascular system. The objective of this study was to analyze the pharmacological effects of a new compound derived from pyrazole, LQFM 021, which was indicated by molecular modeling studies as a possible inhibitor of PDE-3. For this purpose, aortas were isolated of rats and mounted in organ baths for isometric tension recording of the relaxing effect of LQFM 021, in preparations pre-contracted with phenylephrine. We analyzed the involvement of the vascular endothelium, soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) and adenylate cyclase (AC), the role of K+ channels and Ca2+, besides the contribution of Ca2+ uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum. As a result, was demonstrated that the LQFM 021 induces vascular relaxation (Emax: 54.9 ± 6.0%), being this relaxation potentiated by endothelium (Emax: 88.1 ± 2.1%). The inhibition of AC with MDL-12.330A (10 μM) or of the sGC with ODQ (1 μM) reduced the relaxation of 88.1 ± 2.1%, to 48.35 ± 3.01% and 19.95 ± 2.32%, respectively. The pre-contraction with KCl 45 mM or treatment of preparations with TEA (5 mM), reduced almost completely the relaxing effect of the compound. Inhibition of Ca2+ / ATPase reticular with CPA (10 mM) reduced the relaxation stimulated by 021 LQFM approximately 66.5%. Concentration-response curve contractile induced by phenylephrine (0.1 nM to 1 μM) or by CaCl2 (0-3 mM, zero-calcium + phenylephrine) were reduced by pretreatment of preparations with LQFM 021 (EC50). In conclusion, this study showed that the new synthetic derivative of pyrazole LQFM 021 is a potential inhibitor of PDE-3 and has vasorelaxant activity. The endothelium potentiates the relaxation stimulated by the compound. The route of sGC and AC are involved in the mechanism of action of LQFM 021. Was also evidenced by participation from sarcoplasmatic reticulum, well as the flow of K+ and Ca2+ through the cell membrane.
