- Abstract:
- 1. The effects of oral and subcutaneous administration of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs sodium salicylate, aspirin and indomethacin on ex vivo gastric mucosal release of leukotriene C4 (LTC4) prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) were investigated in rats under basal conditions as well as after challenge with ethanol. 2. Basal release of PGE2, 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 was inhibited by oral administration of aspirin (0.6-400 mgkg-1) and indomethacin (4 or 20 mgkg-1), but not by sodium salicylate (up to 400 mgkg-1), in a dose-dependent manner. Oral administration of aspirin in the dose range 3.2-400 mgkg-1 and of indomethacin (20 mgkg-1) additionally inhibited release of LTC4, while sodium salicylate (up to 400 mgkg-1) had no effect. Indomethacin (20 mgkg-1) and aspirin (400 mgkg-1) administered subcutaneously inhibited generation of cyclo-oxygenase products of arachidonate metabolism, but did not significantly affect LTC4 synthesis. 3. Oral instillation of ethanol caused gastric mucosal damage and simultaneously induced a selective increase in the ex vivo release of LTC4 from rat gastric mucosa, while release of cyclo-oxygenase products of arachidonate metabolism was not significantly affected. Oral pretreatment of rats with sodium salicylate protected the gastric mucosa and simultaneously inhibited the ethanol-stimulated gastric mucosal LTC4 release in a dose-dependent manner. Sodium salicylate had no effects on the release of PGE2 and TXB2, while that of 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha was slightly increased.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
