Antagonism of the Human Thromboxane A2 Receptor by an Anti-asthmatic Agent AA-2414
The human thromboxane A2 receptor (TXA2-R)-coding gene was introduced into Chinese hamster ovary cells and a cell line (TCHO-25) stably expressing TXA2-R, at a level of 3×105/cell, was obtained. An anti-asthmatic agent AA-2414 [(±)-7-(3, 5, 6-trimethyl-1, 4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-7-phenylheptanoic acid]...

Zusammenfassung: | The human thromboxane A2 receptor (TXA2-R)-coding gene was introduced into Chinese hamster ovary cells and a cell line (TCHO-25) stably expressing TXA2-R, at a level of 3×105/cell, was obtained. An anti-asthmatic agent AA-2414 [(±)-7-(3, 5, 6-trimethyl-1, 4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-7-phenylheptanoic acid] competitively inhibited the specific binding of a TXA2 mimic ([3H] U-46619) to the TCHO-25 cells, with an IC50 of 6.0×10-8M, indicating that the drug is an antagonist of human TXA2-R. The TCHO-25 cells offer a tool for the screening and characterization of human TXA2-R antagonists. |
