| Research Abstract |
1. Pathogenesis and pathophysiology of bronchial asthma (1)After allergen challenge, some asthmatic patients showed dual asthmatic response. An increase of of serum LTB<@D24@>D2 preceded a decrease of FEV 1.0 in late asthmatic response. (2)Phospholipase (PLase) activity in lung membranes, LTB<@D24@>D2 and cellular changes of lung lavages from ovalbumin(OA)-challenged guinea pigs were assessed before and at regular intervals for as long as 24h after OA challenge. Just after inhalation, PLase activity was increased and an increase of LTB<@D24@>D2 was also observed. On the other hand, the number of neutrophils was increased at 3h, while the number of eosinophils was increased at 6h. (3)The number of -adrenoceptor in lung membranes of OA-challenged guinea pigs was decreased by more than 30% compared with that of control subjects, while the number of -adrenoceptor was increased by 37%. These changes were revealed to be linked with altered phospholipid composition induced by PLase A<@D22@>D1

2. Development and clinical applications of new bronchodilating agents We have already reported a drug which shows relaxant effect on brochial smooth muscle via elevating cyclic GMP. (1)Anti-cholinergic drugs:An abnormality of cholinergic system is closely related to the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. So, anti-cholinergic drugs were expected to show a favarabel effect. An anti-cholinergic drug could decrease a number of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the lung of experimental, animals. Furthermore, adverse effect of this drug scaresely occurred. (2)A new xanthine derivatives:We demonstrated that 1-methyl-3propylxanthine has a great potency of bronchodilation. This agent also has a strong action of inhibitory high affinity cyclic AMP phoshodiesterase. (3)Colforcin:Colforcin has a potent relaxant effect on tracheal smooth muscle via direct adenylate cyclase activation. This drug has also cardiovascular effect. So, further investigation is needed before clinical application. Less
