摘要：
Slow‐reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS‐A) is an important factor mediating bronchoconstriction in asthma. We developed a guinea pig model for SRS‐A mediated bronchoconstriction induced by antigen inhalation. Using this model, we investigated the effect of inhaled WP871, a new anti‐allergic drug, on bronchoconstriction. Aerosol WP871 (0.01 and 0.033%) to some extent inhibited the antigen‐induced bronchoconstriction in a dose‐dependent fashion, but high‐dose WP871 (0.1%) inhalation itself produced a non‐specific bronchoconstriction. However, aerosol WP871 (0.033%) showed no inhibitory effect on bronchoconstriction caused by direct inhalation of leukotriene C4, a component of SRS‐A. These findings indicate that aerosol WP871 does not antagonize SRS‐A, but inhibits synthesis and/or release of SRS‐A and has some non‐specific bronchoconstrictive effect in high concentration.
