BMC Anesthesiology (2021) 21:185 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12871-021-01395-6 RESEARCH Open Access Effects of different vasopressors on the contraction of the superior mesenteric artery and uterine artery in rats during late pregnancy Tingting Wang1†, Limei Liao2†, Xiaohui Tang1, Bin Li1 and Shaoqiang Huang3* Abstract Background: Hypotension after neuraxial anaesthesia is one of the most common complications during caesarean section. Vasopressors are the most effective method to improve hypotension, but which of these drugs is best for caesarean section is not clear. We assessed the effects of vasopressors on the contractile response of uterine arteries and superior mesenteric arteries in pregnant rats to identify a drug that increases the blood pressure of the systemic circulation while minimally affecting the uterine and placental circulation. Methods: Isolated ring segments from the uterine and superior mesenteric arteries of pregnant rats were mounted in organ baths, and the contractile responses to several vasopressor agents were studied. Concentration-response curves for norepinephrine, phenylephrine, metaraminol and vasopressin were constructed. Results: The contractile response of the mesenteric artery to norepinephrine, as measured by the pEC50 of the drug, was stronger than the uterine artery (5.617 ± 0.11 vs. 4.493 ± 1.35, p = 0.009), and the contractile response of the uterine artery to metaraminol was stronger than the mesenteric artery (pEC50: 5.084 ± 0.17 vs. 4.92 ± 0.10, p = 0.007). There was no statistically significant difference in the pEC50 of phenylephrine or vasopressin between the two blood vessels. Conclusions: In vitro experiments showed that norepinephrine contracts peripheral blood vessels more strongly and had the least effect on uterine artery contraction. These findings support the use of norepinephrine in mothers between the time of neuraxial anaesthesia and the delivery of the foetus.

The bronchospasm associated with various pulmonary diseases - chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchial asthma, silicosis, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis and carcinoma of the lung, has been successfully reversed by therapy with orciprenaline sulphate. Orciprenaline sulphate has the following major characteristics: 1) Pharmacologically, the action of orciprenaline sulphate is one of beta stimulation. Receptor sites in the bronchi and bronchioles are more sensitive to the drug than those in the heart and blood vessels, so that the ratio of bronchodilating to cardiovascular effects is favourable. Consequently, it is usually possible clinically to produce good bronchodilation at dosage levels which are unlikely to cause cardiovascular side effects. 2 2) The efficacy of the bronchodilator after both oral and inhalation administration has been demonstrated by pulmonary function studies (spirometry, and by measurement of airways resistance by body plethysmography). 3) Rapid onset of action follows administration of orciprenaline sulphate inhalants, and the effect is usually noted immediately. Following oral administration, the effect is usually noted within 30 minutes. 4) The peak effect of bronchodilator activity following orciprenaline sulphate generally occurs within 60 to 90 minutes, and this activity lasts for 3 to 6 hours. 5) Orciprenaline sulphate taken orally potentiates the action of a bronchodilator inhalant administered 90 minutes later, whereas no additive effect occurs when the drugs are given in reverse order.

Burt & *Christopher R. Chapple Department of Pharmacology, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT and *Department of Urology, The Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Glossop Road, Sheffield SlO 2JF 1 The subtype of a1-adrenoceptor mediating contractions of human prostate to noradrenaline was characterized by use of a range of competitive and non-competitive antagonists. 2 Contractions of the prostate to either noradrenaline (pD2 5.5), phenylephrine (pD2 5.1) or methoxamine (pD2 4.4) were unaltered by the presence of neuronal and extraneuronal uptake blockers. Noradrenaline was about 3 and 10 times more potent than phenylephrine and methoxamine respectively. Phenylephrine and methoxamine were partial agonists. 3 Pretreatment with the alkylating agent, chlorethylclonidine (10-4 M) shifted the noradrenaline concentration-contraction curve about 3 fold to the right and depressed the maximum response by 31%. This shift is 100 fold less than that previously shown to be produced by chlorethylclonidine under the same conditions on OlB-adrenoceptor-mediated contractions. 4 Cumulative concentration-contraction curves for noradrenaline were competitively antagonized by WB 4101 (pA2 9.0), 5-methyl-urapidil (pA2 8.6), phentolamine (pA2 7.6), benoxathian (pA2 8.5), spiperone (pA2 7.3), indoramin (pA2 8.2) and BMY 7378 (pA2 6.6). These values correlated best with published pKi values for their displacement of [3H]-prazosin binding on membranes expressing cloned oczc-adrenoceptors and poorly with values from cloned lb- and cld-adrenoceptors.

Clonidine caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the twitch i response; the maximum inhibition obtained was 80 to 95_o of the twitch response. Oxymetazoline and xylazine were qualitatively similar to clonidine but were about 5 times less potent. Phenylephrine and methoxamine also inhibited the twitch response but were at least 10,000 times less potent than clonidine. 3 The twitch-inhibitory effects of clonidine, oxymetazoline and xylazine, but not those of phenyl- ephrine or methoxamine, were reversed by piperoxan (0.3 to 1.0 lag/ml). 4 Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) inhibited the twitch response, but also increased the basal tone of the ileum. Mepyramine prevented the increase in tone but did not affect the inhibitory action of LSD. Piperoxan or phentolamine only partially antagonized the inhibitory effect of LSD. 5 Phentolamine, yohimbine, piperoxan and tolazoline were potent, competitive antagonists of the inhibitory effect of clonidine with pA2 values of 8.51, 7.78, 7.64 and 6.57 respectively. 6 Thymoxamine was a weak antagonist of clonidine; it also antagonized the twitch-inhibitory effect of morphine.
