AP-18, a putative antagonist at TRPA1 receptor/ion channel, caused smooth muscle relaxation at 10-100 mu mol/l. It inhibited cholinergic twitch responses evoked by electrical field stimulation of cholinergic nerves as well as contractions in response to acetylcholine and histamine in the guinea pig small intestine. AP-18 (30 mu mol/l) blocked spontaneous contractions of longitudinal strips of human jejunum. It is concluded that AP-18 may have limited value in studying TRPA1-mediated responses in smooth muscles and should probably be used with care in other preparations because of possible nonspecific effects.
