Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide: a novel, long-lasting, endothelium-independent vasorelaxant
J B Warren et al. Eur J Pharmacol. 1991.
Abstract
The vasoactivity of the 27- and 38-amino acid forms of the novel peptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) was tested in vitro. Both forms of PACAP caused endothelium-independent vasodilation (assayed by their vasodilator action on rabbit aorta). When superfused for 1 min the relaxation EC50 of PACAP27 was 23 +/- 8 nM and of PACAP38 was 152 +/- 66 nM. PACAP was 100-fold more potent than vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) (PACAP27 shows 68% amino acid sequence homology with VIP), and had a prolonged duration of action, a 1 min exposure to 1 microM PACAP27 lasting 135 +/- 7 min and to 1 microM PACAP38 108 +/- 3 min. Adenylate cyclase activity in homogenates of rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells was increased by PACAP27 and PACAP38 with EC50s of 4.4 and 0.73 nM, respectively. PACAP27 and PACAP38 are potent, long-lasting, endothelium-independent vasodilators.
