Disease relevance of Hexamethonium chloride

  • Pharmacological analysis revealed that the effects of 13-Nle-M on the gastrointestinal muscle are not mediated via nervous pathways: ganglion blockade by hexamethonium, blockade of axonal conduction by tetrodotoxin, or anticholinergic action by atropine failed to affect 13-Nle-M actions [1].
  • Treatment with hexamethonium before smoking reversed the effect of the smoke on the colitis, improving all parameters [2].
  • Cholinergic innervation in the aganglionic bowel of the piebald lethal mouse model of Hirschsprung's disease was investigated by analysis of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors before and after administration of hexamethonium [3].
  • In the recovery period, the control dogs and the hexamethonium-treated dogs showed gradual increases in total peripheral resistance and in vasoconstricted hypertension 3 hours after stopping the infusion [4].
  • Deficiency of alpha5 subunits strikingly increased the sensitivity to a low concentration of hexamethonium, leading to a nearly complete blockade of bradycardia in response to vagal stimulation [5].

Gene context of Hexamethonium chloride

  • 2. In anaesthetized rats pretreated with hexamethonium, infusion of ET-1 (10(-11) mol kg-1 min-1) increased the mean arterial pressure (MAP) from 93 +/- 1.5 mmHg to 137 +/- 2.4 mmHg after 70 min (n = 29) [34].
  • Veratridine-stimulated short-circuit current (I(sc)) responses in +/+, Y(1) or Y(2) antagonist pretreated +/+ colon, Y(1)-/- and NPY-/- colon were insensitive to cholinergic blockade by atropine (At; 1 microM) and hexamethonium (Hex; 10 microM) [35].
  • The CGRP-induced relaxations were unaffected by hexamethonium and partly reduced (about 40%) by tetrodotoxin [36].
  • The effects of lumbosacral oxytocin were partly mimicked by the oxytocin agonist [Thr(4),Gly(7)]-oxytocin blocked by the oxytocin receptor antagonist atosiban and by hexamethonium [37].
  • The stimulatory effect of peripherally administered CRF on colonic motility was abolished by truncal vagotomy, hexamethonium, atropine, and intracisternal injection of astressin (a CRF receptor antagonist) [38].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Hexamethonium chloride

  • Truncal vagotomy and administration of hexamethonium significantly reduced nonadrenergic, noncholinergic relaxation, the catalytic activity of NOS, the number of NOS-immunoreactive cells, and the density of NOS-immunoreactive bands and NOS mRNA bands obtained from gastric tissue [39].
  • The effects of the tachykinins were reduced after tetrodotoxin (P less than 0.05) and atropine (P less than 0.05) but unchanged after treatment with hexamethonium [40].
  • Dextran in lactated Ringer's solution (20 ml/kg) was infused for 1 hour into anesthetized dogs with sinoaortic denervation and vagotomy (deafferentation; n = 10) and dogs treated with hexamethonium (de-efferentation; n = 13) to compare with our previous observation in dogs with an intact autonomic nervous system (control, n = 34) [4].
  • Pretreatment with reserpine (1 mg/kg, im, 24 hours before experiments) or hexamethonium (3 mg/kg, iv) prevented the LAD ligation-induced increase in the glycogen phosphorylase activity, but adrenalectomy did not [41].
  • Bilateral microinjection of glycine (50 nmol, 100 nL) into the RVLM of hypertensive rats produced a decrease in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) from 158+/-4 to 71+/-4 mm Hg (P<0.05), which was similar to the decrease produced by intravenous administration of hexamethonium [42].
