Non-specific prostaglandin antagonism by 8-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-10, 11-dihydro-PGA1-ethyl ester (HR 546) on some smooth muscle preparations in vitro

Prostaglandins. 1977 Oct;14(4):653-7. doi: 10.1016/0090-6980(77)90192-7.

Abstract

The ability of 8-ethoxycarbonyl-10, 11 dihydro-A-prostaglandin(HR 546) to antagonise smooth muscle contracting effect of prostaglandins E2 and F2alpha on isolated preparations of rat and hamster stomach fundus, guinea pig ileum and gerbil colon has been studied. HR 546 was found to be a potent, non-specific, probably competitive, prostaglandin antagonist on these four smooth muscle preparations.
