Indomethacin → 1,8-Naphthyridin-2(1H)-one, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

The sensitized guinea pigs are injected i.v. with 1 mg/kg propranolol, 5 mg/kg indomethacin and 2 mg/kg mepyramine given together in a volume of 1 ml/kg. Fifteen minutes later the animals are challenged with nebulized ovalbumin. Test compounds are administered orally 2 hours before challenge with ovalbumin. Suppression of anaphylactic bronchospasm is expressed as a percent inhibition of the peak increase in intratracheal pressure by comparison to a vehicle-treated control group. In this procedure, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one (referred to as Compound A hereinafter) provided a 96% inhibition at a dose of 5 mg/kg p.o.
