It has been reported that dipyridamole, an adenosine uptake inhibitor, and some benzodiazepines potentiate the responses to adenosine in peripheral organs and in particular, on guinea-pig isolated atria. In this paper, we have examined the potentiation of responses to adenosine produced by dipyridamole, diazepam and four compounds with selective agonistic activity towards the central (clonazepam) or peripheral (Ro5-4864) type benzodiazepine receptors or antagonistic activity towards the central (flumazenil) or peripheral (PK 11195) benzodiazepine receptors in guinea-pig trachea in vitro. In preparations under basal tone and in the absence of adenosine, dipyridamole (10-5 M) and benzodiazepines (10-4 M) with the exception of flumazenil induced a relaxation of the airway smooth muscle. In addition, diazepam (10-4 M) attenuated the phasic response to histamine (10-5 M). Dipyridamole, and the benzodiazepine agonists diazepam, Ro5-4864 and clonazepam (10-5 to 10-4 M) produced potentiation of the tracheal response to adenosine, the rank order of potency being dipyridamole (pKi = 7.77 .+-. 0.12, n = 8) > Ro5-4864 (pKi = 5.43 .+-. 0.18, n = 6) .gtoreq. diazepam > clonazepam (pKi = 4.84 .+-. 0.11, n = 6). The two benzodiazepine receptor antagonists, flumazenil and PK 11195, gave a significant but small potentiation to adenosine only at 10-4 M. In the presence of dipyridamole (10-5 M), diazepam (10-4 M) did not cause any further potentiation to adenosine. Additionally, the potentiation produced by diazepam was not antagonised by flumazenil, whereas it was potently antagonised by PK 11195. Similarly, PK 11195 potently inhibited the adenosine potentiation produced by Ro5-4864. In the presence of dipyridamole, the antagonism between adenosine and theophylline appeared to be of the competitive type whereas it did not in the presence of diazepam or in the absence of dipyridamole. Mechanical removal of the tracheal epithelium significantly potentiated the relaxation of guinea-pig trachea to adenosine but did not alter the effect of dipyridamole or diazepam. Benzodiazepines therefore appear to potentiate the response of guinea-pig trachea to adenosine by inhibition of adenosine uptake, and this might occur through activation of a peripheral type benzodiazepine receptor.
