Influence of nitric oxide donors and of the alpha(2)-agonist UK-14,304 on acetylcholine release in the pig gastric fundus.[Pubmed:11114406]
Neuropharmacology. 2001;40(2):270-8.
This study in circular muscle strips of the pig gastric fundus aimed to measure the release of acetylcholine directly and to investigate whether NO and alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonists can modulate acetylcholine release from cholinergic neurones. After incubation of the tissues with [(3)H]-choline, basal and electrically induced release of tritium and [(3)H]-acetylcholine were analyzed in a medium containing physostigmine (10(-5) M) as well as atropine (10(-6) M). The NO synthase inhibitor L-N(G)-nitroarginine methyl ester (3x10(-4) M), and the NO donors sodium nitroprusside (10(-5) M) and 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (10(-5) M) did not influence the basal release nor the electrically evoked release, indicating that NO does not modify [(3)H]-acetylcholine release. The alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist UK-14,304 (10(-5) M) significantly inhibited the electrically evoked release of [(3)H]-acetylcholine, and this effect was prevented by the alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist rauwolscine (2x10(-6) M), suggesting that presynaptic alpha(2)-adrenoceptors are present on cholinergic neurones of the pig gastric fundus.
Ligand recognition of serine-cysteine amino acid exchanges in transmembrane domain 5 of alpha2-adrenergic receptors by UK 14,304.[Pubmed:10737629]
J Neurochem. 2000 Apr;74(4):1705-10.
Ligand binding of UK 14,304 reveals notable species (i.e., human-rodent) and receptor-subtype differences of alpha2-adrenergic receptors (alpha2-ARs). To study the molecular basis of the selectivity of UK 14,304, we compared a series of conservative serine-cysteine exchange mutants at ligand-accessible positions in transmembrane domain 5 of the human and mouse alpha2A-ARs. UK 14,304 bound with approximately 200-fold higher affinity to the human alpha2A-AR wild-type receptor compared with the human alpha2A-ARSer201 mutant, but only an approximately fivefold difference was seen with the corresponding mouse alpha2A-AR variant. These effects of cysteine-serine exchanges only involved the agonist low-affinity forms of the receptors, as the affinity of [3H]UK 14,304 for the agonist high-affinity receptor populations was not influenced. The apparent affinities of a set of eight structurally diverse alpha2-AR ligands (six agonists and two antagonists) were not influenced significantly by the cysteine-serine exchanges (except for oxymetazoline and yohimbine, with up to nine- and eightfold differences in affinity, respectively). We conclude that position 201 (a) plays a primary role in determining observed subtype/species selectivity of UK 14,304 in competitive antagonist radioligand binding assays and (b) does not determine the subtype selectivity of chlorpromazine.
Effects of advanced glycation end products-inductor glyoxal and hydrogen peroxide as oxidative stress factors on rat retinal organ cultures and neuroprotection by UK-14,304.[Pubmed:18624919]
J Neurochem. 2008 Aug;106(4):1876-87.
Retinal ganglion cell degeneration is supposed to be mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The alpha2-adrenergic agonist, 5-bromo-N-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-6-quinoxalinamine (brimonidine; UK-14,304), is said to exert a neuroprotective effect. To investigate these mechanisms in detail, we exposed rat whole mounts to glyoxal or H(2)O(2) and treated them with either UK-14,304 alone or additionally with the phosphatidylinositide 3 kinase (PI3) kinase inhibitor, 2-(4-Morpholinyl)-8-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (Ly 294002). The accumulation of Nepsilon-[carboxymethyl] lysine (CML) was assessed immunohistochemically and changes in intracellular pH (pHi), mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTMP) and ROS production in cell bodies of multipolar ganglion cell layer were studied by intravital fluorescence microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Ultrastructural changes in mitochondria of multipolar ganglion cell layer cell bodies were determined by transmission electron microscopy. We found that glyoxal and H(2)O(2) increased accumulation of CML-modified proteins and ROS production and decreased pHi and MTMP in cell bodies of multipolar ganglion cell layer. UK-14,304 could prevent production of ROS, accumulation of CML-modified proteins, ameliorate acidification, preserve MTMP and attenuate ultrastructural damages of ganglion cell mitochondria. Ly 294002 reversed the UK-14,304-mediated attenuation of CML and ROS production. We conclude that the protective effects of UK-14,304 seem partly to be mediated by PI3 kinase-dependent pathways.
The alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist UK 14,304 inhibits secretin-stimulated ductal secretion by downregulation of the cAMP system in bile duct-ligated rats.[Pubmed:17634418]
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 2007 Oct;293(4):C1252-62.
Secretin stimulates ductal secretion by activation of cAMP --> PKA --> CFTR --> Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger in cholangiocytes. We evaluated the expression of alpha(2A)-, alpha(2B)-, and alpha(2C)-adrenergic receptors in cholangiocytes and the effects of the selective alpha(2)-adrenergic agonist UK 14,304, on basal and secretin-stimulated ductal secretion. In normal rats, we evaluated the effect of UK 14,304 on bile and bicarbonate secretion. In bile duct-ligated (BDL) rats, we evaluated the effect of UK 14,304 on basal and secretin-stimulated 1) bile and bicarbonate secretion; 2) duct secretion in intrahepatic bile duct units (IBDU) in the absence or presence of 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA), an inhibitor of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform NHE3; and 3) cAMP levels, PKA activity, Cl(-) efflux, and Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger activity in purified cholangiocytes. alpha(2)-Adrenergic receptors were expressed by all cholangiocytes in normal and BDL liver sections. UK 14,304 did not change bile and bicarbonate secretion of normal rats. In BDL rats, UK 14,304 inhibited secretin-stimulated 1) bile and bicarbonate secretion, 2) expansion of IBDU luminal spaces, and 3) cAMP levels, PKA activity, Cl(-) efflux, and Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger activity in cholangiocytes. There was decreased lumen size after removal of secretin in IBDU pretreated with UK 14,304. In IBDU pretreated with EIPA, there was no significant decrease in luminal space after removal of secretin in either the absence or presence of UK 14,304. The inhibitory effect of UK 14,304 on ductal secretion is not mediated by the apical cholangiocyte NHE3. alpha(2)-Adrenergic receptors play a role in counterregulating enhanced ductal secretion associated with cholangiocyte proliferation in chronic cholestatic liver diseases.
Effects of alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on circling behavior in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the nigrostriatal pathway.[Pubmed:9918591]
J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1999 Feb;288(2):798-804.
The present study examined the influence of alpha-2 adrenoceptor ligands on circling behavior in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the nigrostriatal pathway. The alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonists, clonidine and UK 14304, inhibited both the ipsilateral rotation induced by the indirect dopaminergic agonist, methylphenidate, and the contralateral circling induced by the direct dopaminergic agonist, apomorphine. In contrast, the alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonists, idazoxan and (+/-)-efaroxan, enhanced the circling induced by either methylphenidate or apomorphine. The facilitating activity of efaroxan was stereoselective because the (+)-enantiomer mimicked the effect of (+/-)-efaroxan, whereas the (-)-enantiomer was essentially inactive, thus indicating a mediation by alpha-2 adrenoceptors. Upon administration alone, the above-mentioned compounds did not modify spontaneous circling behavior, except for UK 14304, which decreased, and (+)-efaroxan, which slightly increased, the ipsilateral rotation. We conclude that activation and antagonism of alpha-2 adrenoceptors inhibit and enhance, respectively, the circling behavior evoked by both direct and indirect dopaminergic agonists. Although a modulation of dopamine release may be involved in some of these drug effects, the effects on apomorphine-induced circling indicate an influence of alpha-2 adrenoceptor compounds on nigrostriatal neurotransmission at sites downstream from the dopaminergic neurons themselves. These findings support the notion of a potential benefit of alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonists in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Gene targeting--homing in on alpha 2-adrenoceptor-subtype function.[Pubmed:9227000]
Trends Pharmacol Sci. 1997 Jun;18(6):211-9.
The alpha-adrenoceptor was subdivided into three subtypes: alpha 2A-, alpha 2B- and alpha 2C-adrenoceptors almost ten years ago. Since then, the search has been on to discover and develop subtype-selective agonists and antagonists, but as yet no major breakthrough has been made. In the past year, several strains of genetically engineered mice have become available, either overexpressing, totally lacking or expressing heavily modified alpha 2-adrenoceptor subtypes. Ewen MacDonald, Brian Kobilka and Mika Scheinin describe how these mice may be utilized to elucidate the physiological functions of the receptor subtypes and the properties of future subtype-selective drugs.
Specific [3H]UK 14,304 binding in human cortex occurs at multiple high affinity states with alpha 2-adrenergic selectivity and differing affinities for GTP.[Pubmed:2904634]
Life Sci. 1988;43(22):1805-12.
[3H]UK 14,034 is a full agonist at alpha 2-adrenergic receptors. Although the characteristics of the binding of the partial alpha 2-adrenergic agonists in postmortem human brain were known, the binding of [3H]UK 14,304 had not been studied in this tissue. Multi-site binding of this radiolabel had been reported in other tissues and guanosine triphosphate (GTP) had been shown to reduce [3H]UK 14,304 binding. We now report that [3H]UK 14,304 labels at least 2 specific binding sites in human brain that both have the characteristics of an alpha 2-adrenergic binding site. GTP decreases agonist binding at both of these sites, but with different potencies at each site.
