Effect of terodiline hydrochloride in isolated rabbit detrusor.

Abstract
Effect of terodiline on isolated rabbit and guinea pig detrusor was investigated in comparison with that of flavoxate and oxybutynin. Terodiline (10-6M) parallelly shifted the dose-response curve for carbachol in rabbit detrusor to the right, and high doses of terodiline (3 .times. 10-6 .apprx. 3 .times. 10-5 M) inhibited the maximal contraction. Oxybutynin (10-8M or more) shifted the dose-response curve to the right, but did not affect the maximal contraction. At 3 .times. 10-6 M or more, terodiline dose-dependently inhibited the Ca-contraction of rabbit detrusor. While the contraction of rabbit detrusor induced by electrical field stimulation was inhibited by atropine (3 .times. 10-7 M) or nifedipine (3 .times. 10-6 M) by 35% or 73%, respectively, the combination of atropine (10-7 M) and nifedpine (10-6M) abolished it. Oxybutynin (3 .times. 10-7 M) inhibited it by about 30%; terodiline (10-6 M or more) and falvoxate (10-5M or more) dose-dependently inhibited it, and abolished at 10-4 M and 3 .times. 10-4 M, respectively. Terodiline inhibited the l-quinuclidinyl-[phenyl-4-3H]-benzilate binding to the microsomal fraction of guinea pig urinary bladder, brain, atria and ileum dose-dependently, and it had similar affinity among these fractions. Terodiline (3 .times. 10-6 M or more) inhibited the 45Ca uptake to minced guinea pig urinary bladder dose-dependently, but did not influence the 45Ca efflux even at 10-4 M. Flavoxate (10-4 M) only slightly inhibited the 45Ca uptake. The present result suggests that the inhibitory action of terodiline on the contraction of detrusor is attributable to the anti-muscarinic and Ca-antagonistic effect, and terodiline has a different pharmacological property from oxybutynin and flavoxate.
