Methacholine Chloride 48-60 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 124-150 7889288-5 1994 ANP and salbutamol were equipotent in reversing methacholine-evoked contraction and, in combination these agonists evoked an additive response. Methacholine Chloride 48-60 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 0-3 7889288-9 1994 ANP (10(-6) M) and salbutamol (10(-6) M) each attenuated subsequent contractions evoked by methacholine, an ability not shared with sodium nitroprusside (10(-6) M) or isosorbide dinitrate (4.2 x 10(-5) M). Methacholine Chloride 91-103 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 0-3 7889288-12 1994 In combination, ANP and salbutamol attenuated contractions evoked by methacholine to a significantly greater degree than that seen with either agonist alone, whilst a combination of ANP and sodium nitroprusside evoked no greater effect than that seen with ANP alone. Methacholine Chloride 69-81 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 16-19 7889288-13 1994 By contrast, isosorbide dinitrate and ANP together evoked a greater inhibition than ANP alone.5 These results suggest that a combination of agents such as ANP and salbutamol evokes a greater effect than either alone, both in reversing and protecting against methacholine-evoked contractions.Such combinations may be of benefit in the treatment of patients, allowing lower doses of drug to be used.
