An organ bath experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of agonist, histamine on guinea pig ileum (GPI) and how the antagonists, mepyramine and SIPBSDrug A affect the GPI’s response (smooth muscle contractions). A GPI simulation was conducted to compare the potencies and nature of antagonists against histamine. The control Rmax and EC50 of histamine without antagonist were 16.49gms and 2.093 x 10-7M respectively. The concentration-response curves were shifted to right parallelly and EC50 increased while Rmax remained constant when mepyramine or SIPBSDrug A was added. Besides, both antagonists showed linear graphs in Schild plot, indicating that they acted as reversible competitive antagonists. The pA2 and KB of mepyramine were 10.148 …show more content…

Next, a basic stock solution was used to prepare various concentrations ranging from 1.0 x 10-8M to 1.0 x 10-1M by serial dilution. The tissue was washed by overflow with reservoir’s solution for 5 seconds to obtain baseline before adding 0.1ml, 0.3ml and 0.5ml for each concentration respectively into the tissue bath.The tissue’s peak response for each final bath concentration(FBC) was measured and recorded. Rmax and EC50 of histamine were recorded. Later, 5ml of 1 x 10-6 M of mepyramine was added into the reservoir containing 1000ml of Krebs-Henssleit solution to produce a FBC of 5.0 x 10-9M. It was equilibrated with tissue for 10 minutes by flushing into the organ bath. After that, the steps above were repeated to test tissue response using 5ml of 1 x 10-5M and 1 x 10-4M of mepyramine. The experiment was repeated by replacing mepyramine with SIPBSDrug A as the antagonist. Lastly, concentration-response curve with Hill-Langmuir equation and Schild Plot were plotted using Bio-Graph. KB and pA2 values for mepyramine and SIPBSDrug A were calculated based on Schild plots and Gaddum …show more content…

The Rmaz and EC50 of histamine control were 16.49gms and 2.093 x 10-7M respectively. In figure 1, when 5 x 10-9M, 5 x10-8M and 5 x 10-7M of mepyramine were added, the EC50 of histamine was increased to 6.254 x 10-6M, 4.752 x 10-5M and 0.0002428M respectively. The Rmaz of histamine in the presence of final bath concentration (FBC) of 5 x 10-9M, 5 x10-8M and 5 x 10-7M antagonist either mepyramine or drug A were remained almost constant in Figure 1 and 2. On the other hand, the EC50 of histamine was increased to 3.455 x10-5M, 0.0001693M and 0.0006647M during the presence of FBC of 5 x 10-9M, 5 x10-8M and 5 x 10-7M drug A respectively. Hence, higher histamine’s concentrations were needed to achieve EC50 as the antagonist’s concentration increased. The calculated pA2 and KB of mepyramine were 10.148 and 7.1143 x 10-11 respectively whereas the calculated pA2 and KB of Drug A were 11.771 and 1.6961 x 10-12

Binding of albuterol to beta (2)-receptors in the lungs results in relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles. It is believed that salbutamol increases cAMP production by activating adenylate cyclase, and the actions of salbutamol are mediated by cAMP. Increased intracellular cyclic AMP increases the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, which inhibits the phosphorylation of myosin and lowers intracellular calcium concentrations. A lowered intracellular calcium concentration leads to a smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation. In addition to bronchodilation, salbutamol inhibits the release of

DISCUSSION The response of the guinea pig ileum to agonist ACh was a proportional contraction of smooth muscle to the increase dosage shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. From figure 1, in lower concentrations of ACh in the presense of Atr, there was a lower dose response, suggesting Ach is no longer in a non-competitive environment. Both curves from the dose responses (Figure 1) reach 100% maximum response even in the presence of Atr, showing a rightward parallel shift, indicates the agonist efficacy was not affected by the presence of the competitive antagonist (Neal, 2009). The EC50¬¬ of ACh also increased in the presence of Atr, indicating ACh is acting as a competitive antagonist, thus showing that Atr reduced its potency of ACh.

Even at slower infusion rates, however, the increase in mean arterial pressure over the first 10 minutes was shown to be in the range of 7%, with a decrease in heart rate between 16% and 18% . The initial response lasts for 5 to 10 minutes and is followed by a decrease in blood pressure of approximately 10% to 20% below baseline and a stabilization of the heart rate, also below baseline values; both of these effects are caused by the inhibition of the central sympathetic outflow overriding the direct stimulating effects . Another possible explanation for the subsequent heart rate decrease is the stimulation of the presynaptic α2-adrenoceptor, leading to a decreased norepinephrine

It is vital to know the route of excretion of the drug, for example, if the drug is excreted through the urinary system, it is important that the animal’s urine is collected and discarded properly. Fecal matter should be discarded properly immediately, and not left to sit outside. Gloves need to be worn when handling any excretions/secretions from the patient. These drugs can be cardiotoxic and cardiac function should be evaluated prior to, during and after any treatments. They can also cause hemorrhagic cystitis, therefore urinalyses should be performed

In this lab we used two processes called Diffusion and Osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Diffusion is a process that requires no energy and involves smaller non-polar molecules. In Figure 1 you can see the molecules spreading throughout the glass from the area of high concentration, so that the areas with low concentration are filled evenly as well. The other process was osmosis.

Drugs that alter sodium and water balance like Diuretics (eg. Hydrochlorothiazide) reduce the volume of blood by promoting the kidney’s excretion of salt and water, as well as decreasing the blood vessel stiffness or resistance. Drugs that decrease sympathetic nervous system activity like beta-blockers (eg. Propranolol) synthesize blockade of beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart and other organs in order to reduce cardiac output or the amount of blood the heart pumps. Vasodilators like calcium channel blockers (eg. Nifedipine) reduce the amount of extracellular calcium that goes into cells of the vascular smooth muscle.

There was no difference in the effect of atrazine on both genders. For both genders, once the level was past 1 ppb, a steady decrease of size is noted, but when less than 1 ppb, a minimal increase is seen. In both trials, the data had the same pattern of size increase and decrease with the levels of atrazine despite the different levels, thus the experiment was repeatable. The effect of an exposure that is less than 1 ppb typically resulted in a small increase in size, but once the atrazine level was 1 ppb or greater, there was a steady decrease in the muscle’s size.

his lab was designed to explain the different things osmosis does using an egg and different liquids. The lab includes diffusion in it, and it is movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. There are many types of diffusion such as osmosis, the diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane. It occurs when water moves from an area where it is more concentrated to an area where it is less concentrated. Cells also have an outer covering called the cell membrane that is selectively permeable; it has tiny pores or holes that allow objects to move across it.

The observed adverse events were mild or moderate and infrequent. The researchers did not observe any dose limiting toxicities or serious adverse effects. The pharmacokinetic profile after the administration of a single dose indicated a dose proportional response and the half-life was shown to increase directly with the increasing dose. Intravenous administration of the synthetic tymosine beta 4 as a single dose or in multiple daily doses within the range of 42-1260 mg had favorable tolerance with no signs of dose limiting

Loss of C=C bond at third and fourth position increase the potency to 3-10 overlap. Substitution at position 4,5 or 8 with alkyl groups ordinarily lessens diuretic action and position 2 can tolerate a small alkyl group such as -CH3.4,5 The mechanism of action of thiazide is not fully understood but they act by inhibition of NaCl reabsorption in the cortical portion of the thick ascending limb of loop of Henle & Distal tubule and also inhibit electroneutral Na & Cl co-transport system. they are rapidly absorbed orally and have volume of distribution equal or greater than the body weight. They are strongly bound to plasma proteins so most of them are not metabolized but excreted as they are in urine as chlorothiazide and hydrochlorothiazide, but benzthiazide, bendroflumethazole and polythiazide are extensively metabolised.1,2The onset of most thiazides occurs after 2-3 hours. they have half life time nearly 8-12 hours permitting one dose per day.4,6 Thiazide diuretics were available at the end of 1950 when they had acceptable adverse effect.
