Prostaglandin DP receptors positively coupled to adenylyl cyclase in embryonic bovine tracheal (EBTr) cells: pharmacological characterization using agonists and antagonists

Various prostaglandin agonists representing various classes of receptor subtypes were evaluated for their ability to stimulate adenylyl cyclase via the endogenous DP receptor in embryonic bovine tracheal (EBTr) cells. Two antagonists were used to block the agonist‐induced cyclic AMP production. ZK11...

Zusammenfassung:Various prostaglandin agonists representing various classes of receptor subtypes were evaluated for their ability to stimulate adenylyl cyclase via the endogenous DP receptor in embryonic bovine tracheal (EBTr) cells. Two antagonists were used to block the agonist‐induced cyclic AMP production. ZK118182 (EC50=16±4 nM), RS‐93520 (EC50=23±4 nM), SQ27986 (EC50=33±9 nM), ZK110841 (EC50=33±5 nM), BW245C (EC50=59±19 nM) and PGD2 (EC50=101±10 nM) (n=4–70) were the most potent agonists. Whilst most compounds were full agonists (Emax=100% relative to PGD2), BW245C was significantly more efficacious than PGD2 (Emax=121±3%; P
