Abstract

The smooth muscle relaxant, AH 21-132, was tested for its inhibitory effect on the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities fractionated from guinea-pig cardiac ventricle and bovine trachealis muscle. Both tissues yielded significant PDE-I and PDE-II activities. The cardiac ventricle also contained a significant amount of PDE-III whilst the trachealis contained PDE-IV. AH 21-132 inhibited PDE-III and PDE-IV selectively (Ki values 0.30-0.55 microM) compared with PDE-I and PDE-II (Ki values 20-140 microM).
