Effects of flunoxaprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, on the cardiovascular system.

The effects of flunoxaprofen (FL) were investigated using anesthetized normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) young and old rats. The animals were divided into two groups. One group received a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent at doses significantly inhibiting prostaglandin (PG)-cyclooxygenase; the other received no non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Oral pretreatment of anesthetized rats with flunoxaprofen (6.6, 11.5, and 19.9 mg/kg/day in the feed for 560 days) significantly increased the following responses: occlusion of the common carotid arteries, and reactivity to L-noradrenaline (NA) (i.v.), and angiotensin II (Ang) (i.v.). Pressor responses also increased in normotensive and in SHR rats treated with FL (20 mg/kg/day for seven days). The effects were more intense in the SHR rats. Moreover, oral pretreatment of normotensive rats with FL (20 mg/kg/day for seven days) partially yet significantly reduced the antihypertensive activity of etozolin (ET), a diuretic and antihypertensive drug. Our data confirm the important role of prostaglandins in the regulation of the cardiovascular system, and an increase in arachidonic acid metabolite biosynthesis with vasodilatory effects being part of the mechanism of action of some antihypertensive drugs.

Research on heterocyclic compounds. XXVIII. Imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidines.

A group of 24 imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidines was taken into consideration in order to study their relationships between chemical structure and antiinflammatory activity. Some of these compounds were synthesized by us in the past, the others have been synthesized and characterized to complete the series. Antiinflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic and gastric ulcerogenic activities of such compounds were compared with those of indomethacin and discussed in terms of the effects exerted by the presence on the heterocyclic system of various substituents and an acidic or nonacidic moiety.

Glutamergic transmission and cardiovascular apparatus in normotensive rats.

The cardiovascular effects induced by L-glutamic acid (G) on the cardiovascular apparatus of normotensive ethyl urethane-anaesthetized rats have been evaluated. (a) When administered i.v. (1 to 100 mg/kg) G induced a transitory and dose-dependent increase of arterial pressure (AP) with very moderate sinus bradycardia. It was antagonized by L-glutamic acid diethyl ester (GDEE, 0.1 to 100 mg/kg i.v.). (b) The intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of G (third ventricle, right lateral ventricle, posterior hypothalamus and striatum) at a dose of 0.1 to 10 mg/an induced a transitory and dose-dependent increase of AP, abolished by i.c.v. GDEE (1 to 10 mcg/an). (c) G hypertension was reduced by several procedures, i.e. catecholamine depletion, alpha 1, alpha 1 and alpha 2 or beta adrenergic blocks, alpha 2 central adrenergic stimulation, Ca2+ transmembrane or gangliary block, surrenectomy, and spinal transection at C7. (d) Atropine, bilateral vagotomy and sinus carotidal denervation increased G hypertension. (e) Therefore the bradycardia does seem to be due to a reflex-mediated effect via sinus carotid and aortic baroreceptors. (f) These data show that glutamergic transmission also participates through a central mechanism in the regulation of cardiovascular function in rats, via an increase in central sympathetic efferent activity.

Central and peripheral cardiovascular effects of beta-endorphin in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats and in rats rendered hypertensive by deoxycorticosterone acetate administration.

The cardiovascular effects of beta-endorphin [beta-LPH-(61-91)] were investigated after systemic (i.v.) and central (third ventricle and right lateral ventricle) administration in urethane-anesthetized rats. beta-Endorphin (10 and 100 micrograms/kg i.v. or 40 micrograms into the third ventricle or into the lateral ventricle) in normotensive animals induced a decrease in blood pressure and bradycardia. The same dose of beta-endorphin by systemic and central administration induced much more pronounced cardiovascular effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats and in rats rendered hypertensive by DOCA administration than in normotensive rats. Naloxone i.v. pretreatment reduced the cardiovascular effects induced by beta-endorphin.

Research on heterocyclic compounds. XVIII. Imidazo[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives.

The synthesis of a series of 6-carbethoxy-, 6-carbethoxy-methyl-, and 5-carbethoxy-6-methylimidazo[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles was accomplished by reacting some 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles with ethyl bromopyruvate, 4-chloroacetoacetate, and 2-chloroacetoacetate, respectively; such carbethoxy derivatives afforded the corresponding carboxylic acids by hydrolysis. The antiinflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic and ulcerogenic activities were studied on three of the new acidic compounds.

Cardiovascular effects of tetanus toxin after systemic and intraventricular administration in rats.

A single intraperitoneal injection of tetanus toxin (50,100 and 200 minimum lethal dose per rat) produced a significant and dose-dependent increase in systemic blood pressure and heart rate in conscious rats. On the contrary, tetanus toxin, given directly into the third cerebral ventricle (20 and 40 minimum lethal dose), produced a gradual and dose-dependent decrease in blood pressure accompanied by bradycardia. In conclusion, the present findings show that tetanus toxin is able to affect cardiovascular activity and it is suggested that this may be due to an interference with central GABAergic mechanisms.

Pharmacological properties of a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug: flunoxaprofen.

The anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities of S-(+)-2(4-fluorophenyl)-alpha-methyl-5 benzoxazole acetic acid (flunoxaprofen: Flu), a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, were compared with those of indomethacin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in experimental animals. Flu showed strong inhibitory activity on acute and subacute inflammation tests in rats, such as carrageenin hind paw oedema (oral: 6-25 mg/kg; rectal: 50-100 mg/kg); pellet-induced granuloma formation (5-20 mg/kg/day) and adjuvant-induced arthritis (10 mg/kg/day). Its potency was comparable with that of indomethacin (I) and higher than that of acetyl salicylic acid (ASA), ibuprofen (IBU) or phenylbutazone (P). The analgesic activity of Flu, evaluated by the hot plate method and tail pinching in mice, was slightly lower than that of I but higher than that of ASA and IBU. In pyretic rabbits Flu showed an antipyretic activity higher than that of ASA and IBU. The ability of Flu to affect platelet aggregation, mucopolysaccharide synthesis by fibroblasts and the proteolytic action of trypsin was also investigated.
