OBJECTIVE: To investigate the contractile responses mediated through alpha1-adrenoceptors in human urethra and to evaluate the effectiveness of NS-49 [(R)-(-)-3'-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-4'-fluoromethanesulphonanilide++ + hydrochloride], a novel alpha1-adrenoceptor agonist, against contraction of the human urethra.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The contractile responses were assessed in 10 male prostatic urethrae and six female urethrae. Antagonism was evaluated in the urethra using phenylephrine, a nonselective alpha1-adrenoceptor agonist, cumulatively applied > 20 min after applying 0.1 micromol/L prazosin or 0.1 micromol/L 5-methylurapidil, a selective alpha1A-adrenoceptor antagonist. Agonism was determined in both male and female urethrae to obtain the concentration-response curve for the agonist.
RESULTS: Phenylephrine caused both male and female urethrae to contract, and showed high potency and efficacy. Prazosin antagonized these contractions with low affinity (apparent pKB of 8.30 in male urethrae). 5-Methylurapidil, also antagonized the contractions with low affinity (apparent pKB of 7.88 in male urethrae). Noradrenaline and phenylephrine caused both male and female urethrae to contract, with high potency and efficacy. A novel and selective alpha1A-and alpha1L-adrenoceptor agonist, NS-49, induced contractile responses with high potency and moderate efficacy, whereas methoxamine induced contractions with low potency and moderate efficacy. Norephedrine was a very weak contractile agonist.
CONCLUSION: In the human urethra, phenylephrine-induced contractions were mediated through alpha1L-adrenoceptors and not through alpha1A-adrenoceptors. Contractions of the human urethra induced by NS-49 were also mediated mainly through alpha1L-adrenoceptors, with high potency and moderate efficacy. NS-49 may therefore be useful for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence, with minimal side-effects because it has subtype selectivity.
