Abstract/OtherAbstract:
KMD-3213 ((-)-1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-5-((2R)-2-[[2-([2-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)oxy]phenyl]oxy)ethyl]amino]propyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-7-carboxamide), an alpha(1A)-adrenoceptor antagonist with potency similar to that of tamsulosin, is under development for the treatment of bladder outlet obstruction in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy. In the present study, we investigated the effects of KMD-3213 on the tilt-induced blood pressure response in anesthetized normotensive rats. Male normotensive Sprague-Dawley rats were placed in the supine position on a board under cocktail anesthetization (alpha-chloralose, urethane and sodium pentobarbital). The arterial blood pressure was measured from the carotid artery. The animals were given consistent 45 degrees head-up tilt from the horizontal position, following the transient decrease in the blood pressure, and then recovery of the blood pressure to the normal level. Significant orthostatic hypotension was seen with intravenous administration of both prazosin and tamsulosin at doses over 3 micro g/kg, and these drugs completely blocked the tilt-induced blood pressure responses at 30 micro g/kg. On the other hand, these responses were still retained when KMD-3213 was administered intravenously at a dose up to 75 micro g/kg of KMD-3213. Moreover, KMD-3213 showed the highest uroselectivity of the test drugs. These results indicate that KMD-3213 is not likely to induce orthostatic hypotension and would be a useful compound for the treatment of urinary outlet obstruction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
