Abstract

Pharmacological activities of HSR-902, a new antispasmodic agent, in gastrointestinal tract, biliary and urinary systems were compared with those of atropine, butylscopolamine bromide, timepidium bromide, prifinium bromide and diphemanil methylsulfate. In isolated smooth muscle organs (stomach, duodenum, ileum, colon, gall bladder and urinary bladder), anti-acetylcholine activities of HSR-902 were the most potent among these agents but its activity in urinary bladder, similar to findings in the cases of atropine and diphemanil methylsulfate, was relatively less potent than that of prifinium bromide, timepidium bromide and butylscopolamine bromide. Regarding the contractions of stomach, jejunum and ileum, which were induced by vagus nerve stimulation or acetylcholine, and on the ileum spontaneous motility, antispasmodic activities of HSR-902 were almost equal to or somewhat more potent than those of atropine, and its activities were more potent than those of prifinium bromide, timepidium bromide, diphemanil methylsulfate and butylscopolamine bromide. On the gall bladder pressure and the counts of perfusion through Oddi's Sphincter, these agents exhibited a similar inhibition and enhancement, respectively. In the case of urinary bladder contractions induced by pelvic nerve stimulation, these agents exhibited a weak inhibition. The inhibitory effect of HSR-902 was relatively less potent than that of other agents except atropine, which had little effect. HSR-902 was similar to atropine in this so-called "atropine-resistance".
