ABSTRACT

The insecticidal activity and residual effect of two formulations of lambdacyhalothrin were evaluated with Rhodnius prolixus;laboratory and field tests were conducted in the State of Chiapas, Mexico. The results indicate that the lethal concentrations of the active ingredient of SC (LC50 = 2.37 and LC90 = 8.5 mg, a.i./mý) were 4-8 times than those with the insecticide WP applied on R. prolixus bugs in palm leaves, a common building material for thatched roofs. Other investigators in South America recommended applying 30 mg a.i./mý in porous materials; we obtained that the products WP and SC were 3.5 and 16 times more effective on palm leaves. Regarding the evaluation of the residual effects in field spraying, there was up to 15 months persistence after the application of WP in two doses (8.6 mg a.i./mý and 3.752 mg a.i./mý) with SC. We consider R. prolixus highly susceptible to the employed pyrethroids; they could be used to control this vector in the state of Chiapas, Mexico

ABSTRACT

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) modifies the responses to several vasoconstrictor stimuli prejunctionally and/or postjunctionally. The pressent study analyzed the effects of 5-HT on the pressor responses induced by norepinephrine (NE) or electrical sympathetic stimulation in pithed rats. Responses to intravenous (i.v.) NE (0.03-3 µg/kg) or electrical stimulation at increasing frequencies (0.1 - 3 Hz) were evaluated before and during continous i.v. infusions of physiological saline (0.01 ml/min) or 5-HT (1 - 10 µg/kg x min). The effects of 5-HT on the tachycardic responses to NE and sympathetic stimulation were studied in parallel. The increases in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate produced by NE were not modified by 5-HT. In contrast, 5-HT significantly and dose-dependently inhibited the increases in diastolic blood pressure but not those in heart rate - produced by stimulation of the appropriate spinal segments. Theses effects of 5-HT were more prononced on the responses to lower frequencies of stimulation. It is suggested that 5-HT inhibits the electrically induced pressor responses by a prejunctional mechanism which would lead to a reduction of neurotransmitter release from the sympathetic nerves supplying the systemic vasculature. The selective stimulation of this inhibitory mechanism might represent a new approach for the development of novel antihypertensive agents

ABSTRACT

La 2-(2-aminoetil)-quinolina (D-1997) es un derivado quinolínico capaz de mimetizar el efecto contráctil de la serotonina (5-hidroxitriptamina; 5HT) en la vena safena y la arteria basilar del perro. Debido a la similitud que parece existir en el tipo de receptor serotónergico presente en estas preparaciones y el que media la vasoconstricción de la cirulación carotídea del perro, el presente estudio analiza el perfil hemodinámico del D-1997 en el lecho arterial carotídeo externo de perros vago simpatectomizados anestesiados con pentobarbital. Los efectos del D-1997 se compararon con aquellos producidos por la 5-HT y el agente antimigrañoso, sumatriptan. Las infusiones intracarotídeas (i.c.), durante 1 min, de D-1997 (10, 30, 100, 300 y 1000 µg/min), 5HT (0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 y 100 µg/min), y sumatriptan (3, 10, 30 y 100 µg/min), produjeron decrementos del flujo sanguíneo carotídeo externo (FSCE) dependientes de la dosis empleada. Debido a que estos efectos no se vieron acompañados de modificaciones en la presión arterial, los agonistas produjeron incrementos dosis-dependientes de la resitencia carotídea externa (RCE). Las respuestas vasoconstrictoras inducidas por el D-1997 y la 5-HT fueron de corta duración (hasta 10 min), mientras que aquellas producidas por el sumatriptan fueron de larga duración (hasta 40 min). Los cambios hemodinámicos producidos por el D-1997 y la 5-HT y el sumatriptan en la carótida externa no modificaron los valores basales de resitencia en el lecho arterial de la carótida común contralateral, hecho que indica un efecto local. El orden de potencia agonista aparente fue 5-HT>sumatriptan>D-1997, mientras que el orden de eficacia, representada aquí como la respuesta máxima observada, siguió un patrón diferente, es decir, D-1997 ò sumatriptan > 5-HT. La administración repetida o la administración previa de 5-HT y sumatriptan no modificó las respuestas inducidas por este nuevo agonista; en consecuencia, el D-1997 se comportó como un agonista completo sin inducción de taquifilaxia. Los resultados de este estudio indican que, al igual que en la arteria basilar y en la vena safena del perro, el D-1997 es capaz de producir contracción del músculo liso vascular en el lecho arterial carotídeo externo del perro
