Abstract
Comparison of the excitability of four different alkaloids/salts, including nicotine, nicotinic benzoate, caffeine and arecoline hydrobromide. Based on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and 18F-Fallypride, a novel technique for measuring alkaloid/salt excitability in SD rats was developed. Different doses and types of alkaloids/salts were administered to the SD rats in a single nebulised inhalation.
The results showed that: (1) PET imaging technology can detect the excitability intensity of SD rats after single inhalation of alkaloids/salts in non-invasive real time and the optimal PET scanning time of four different alkaloids/salts (nicotine, nicotinic benzoate, caffeine and arecoline hydrobromide) were slightly different. (2) The excitatory saturation effect of four alkaloids/salts was observed in SD rats after single inhalation and the saturation effect doses of nicotine, nicotine benzoate, caffeine and arecine hydrobromide were 0.063 mg/kg, 0.075 mg/kg, 0.33 mg/kg and 0.075 mg/kg, respectively. (3) In the case of single inhalation of the same dose of four alkaloids/salts, male SD rats inhaled arecoline hydrobromide with the strongest excitability, while female SD rats inhaled nicotinic benzoate. A PET method for noninvasive real-time detection of alkaloid/salt excitability in SD rats was established.
The finding of an excitatory saturation effect for four alkaloids/salts (nicotine, nicotinic benzoate, caffeine and arecoline hydrobromide) and the presence of excitatory intensity and gender differences at the same dose of inhalation of four alkaloids/salts, which provide a new theoretical basis for determiningthe content of alkaloids/salts.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods publishes original articles on current methods of investigation used in pharmacology and toxicology. Pharmacology and toxicology are defined in the broadest sense, referring to actions of drugs and chemicals on all living systems. With its international editorial board and noted contributors, Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods is the leading journal devoted exclusively to experimental procedures used by pharmacologists and toxicologists.
