Abstract

In the present study the possibility of provoking an irreversible blockade of P2-receptors in vivo by photolyzing ANAPP3 was investigated. ANAPP3 administered as an intraarterial infusion produced a short-lived blockade of P2-receptor mediated contractions of cat urinary bladders in situ. However, irradiation of the bladders with visible light during the infusion of ANAPP3 resulted in a blockade of the response for at least 120 minutes. Thus, photoactivation of ANAPP3 in vivo produced an essentially irreversible blockade of P2-purinergic receptors. © 1986.
