Abstract
- We compared the effects of a tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonist, FK888 (N2-[(4R)-4-hydroxy-1-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)carbonyl-L-prolyl]-N-methy l-N -phenylmethyl-3-(2-naphthyl)-L-alaninamide), and a tachykinin NK2 receptor antagonist, SR48968 ((S)-N-methyl-N[4-(4-acetylamino-4-phenyl piperidino)-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)butyl]benzamide]), on citric acid-induced cough and bronchoconstriction in conscious guinea pigs. FK888 and SR48968 inhibited the cough dose dependently. Combination of FK888 and SR48968 showed a small additive effect compared with that of FK888 or SR48968 alone. SR48968 but not FK888 inhibited the bronchoconstriction dose dependently. These results indicate that tachykinin NK1 receptors as well as tachykinin NK2 receptors are involved in the citric acid-induced cough response. The antitussive activity of the tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonist appeared not to depend on the anti-bronchoconstrictor effects.
