ABSTRACT
Kinin B1 receptors are implicated in asthmatic airway inflammation. Here we tested this hypothesis by examining the anti-inflammatory effects of BI113823, a novel non-peptide orally active kinin B1 receptor antagonist in mice sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA). Male Balb-c mice were randomly assigned to four study groups (1) control, (2) OVA+vehicle, (3) OVA+BI113823, (4) OVA+dexamethasone. Mice were sensitized intraperitoneally with 75µg ovalbumin on days 1 and 8. On days 15-17, mice were challenged intranasally with 50µg of ovalbumin. Mice received vehicle, BI113823, or dexamethasone (positive control) on days 16-18. On day 19, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung tissue were collected for biochemical and immuno-histological analysis. Compared to controls treatment with BI113823 significantly reduced the numbers of BAL eosinophils, macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes by 58.3%, 61.1%, 66.4% and 56.0%, respectively. Mice treated with dexamethasone showed similar reductions in BAL cells. Treatment with BI113823 and dexamethasone also significantly reduced total protein content, IgE, TNF-α and IL-1ß in lavage fluid, reduced myeloperoxidase activity, mucus secretion in lung tissues, and reduced the expression of B1 receptors, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 compared to vehicle-treated mice. Only BI113823 reduced MMP-9 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). BI113823 effectively reduced OVA-induced inflammatory cell, mediator and signaling pathways equal to or greater than that seen with steroids in a mouse asthma model. BI113823 might be useful in modulating inflammation in asthma.
