The effect of isoenzyme-selective PDE inhibitors on methacholine-induced contraction of guinea-pig and rat ileum.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
1. We have examined the effects of the isoenzyme-selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, vinpocetine (type 1), siguazodan (type 3), rolipram (type 4) and zaprinast (type 5) and the non-selective PDE inhibitor enprofylline on methacholine (MCh) contractile concentration-response curves on guinea-pig and rat isolated ileum. 2. In guinea-pig ileum, vinpocetine (10-300 microM), zaprinast (1-300 microM) and enprofylline (100-1000 microM) produced a concentration-dependent depression of the maximum response (Emax) to MCh only without effect on the MCh EC50 values (rank order of potency: zaprinast > vinpocetine > enprofylline). In contrast, siguazodan (10-300 microM) and rolipram (10-300 microM) produced a rightward displacement of the MCh concentration-response curve (increase in EC50: rank order; rolipram > siguazodan), with effects on the MCh maximum seen only at higher concentrations. 3. In the rat ileum, vinpocetine (10-300 microM), zaprinast (0.1-300 microM) and enprofylline (100-1000 microM) caused depression of the MCh maximum contraction (rank order: zaprinast > vinpocetine > enprofylline). Low concentrations of rolipram and siguazodan had no significant effect on the MCh maximum. In the presence of higher concentrations (> 100 microM) of rolipram and siguazodan, a maximum response was not achieved at the highest concentration of MCh tested. As in the guinea-pig ileum, only rolipram (10-300 microM) and siguazodan (10-300 microM) produced a significant, concentration-dependent, rightward displacement of the MCh concentration-response curve (increase in EC50: rank order: rolipram > siguazodan). 4. In the guinea-pig ileum, isoprenaline (0.1 microM) produced a rightward displacement (approximately 3 fold) of the MCh concentration-response curve, accompanied by a significant depression of the maximum response. Increasing the isoprenaline concentration (1 microM) had no further effect on either parameter. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP, > or = 10 microM) produced a concentration-dependent depression of the MCh maximum without an effect on the EC50. 5. In the rat ileum, isoprenaline (1 microM) produced a concentration-dependent rightward displacement (approximately 2.8 fold) of the MCh concentration-response curve with depression of the MCh maximum at higher (> or = 100 microM) concentrations. SNP produced depression of the MCh maximum at a concentration of 10 microM and above. Effects on the MCh EC50 were seen only at 100 and 300 microM. 6. In guinea-pig ileum, isoprenaline (0.1 microM) in combination with rolipram (10 microM) further increased the MCh EC50 and reduced the MCh maximum. The combination of SNP (10 microM) with zaprinast (0.1 microM) produced no further significant effect than SNP alone. 7. In rat ileum, isoprenaline (1 microM) in combination with rolipram (10 microM) further increased the EC50 and reduced the maximum. SNP (10 microM) had no significant effect on either the MCh maximum or EC50. A combination with zaprinast (1 microM) had no further effect. 8. In conclusion, all the PDE inhibitors tested produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the MCh concentration-response curve, indicating a modulator role for the PDE isoenzymes in gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractility. The PDE inhibitors that elevate cyclic GMP produced a depression of the MCh maximum response only, whilst those that elevate cyclic AMP produced a rightward displacement of the MCh concentration-response curve. This was confirmed by the use of isoprenaline and SNP. This difference in the type of inhibition produced by these PDE isoenzyme inhibitors may reflect a different intracellular site/mechanism by which the cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-activated kinases act functionally to antagonize the contractile response.
