The effects of four different immunosuppressive drugs on organ blood flow were investigated. Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intravenously with 0.2 ml of either 15-deoxyspergualin (DSG; 5 mg/kg body weight), RS 61443 (80 mg/kg body weight), FK 506 (0.5 mg/kg body weight), cyclosporin A (9.5 mg/kg body weight), or the vehicles used. At 15 or 60 min after injection of the drugs, the blood perfusion of the whole pancreas, the pancreatic islets, and the kidneys, as well as the arterial blood flow to the liver, were measured in anesthetized animals using a microsphere technique. Fifteen minutes after administration, both FK 506 and DSG decreased the fraction of whole pancreatic blood flow diverted through the islets. FK 506 and cyclosporin A reduced renal blood flow, but only 60 min after injection of the drug. None of the drugs influenced hepatic blood flow. RS 61443 did not affect the blood flow of the organ systems investigated. These differences in the effects of the drugs tested on blood flow might have some important implications on their efficacy and side effects. Thus, in view of its lack of influence on organ blood flow, RS 61443 seems to be preferable, at least when compared with cyclosporin A and FK 506 in the context of organ transplantation. |
