Product Description

Tolazoline HCl (Pridazole, Priscol, Benzalolin, Divascol, Priscoline), the hydrochloride salt of tolazoline, is an imidazolline-based and non-selective competitive α-adrenergic receptor antagonist used as a vasodilator for the treatment of spasms of peripheral blood vessels. In cases of persistent pulmonary hypertension in neonates (PPHN), tolazoline, a pulmonary vasodilator, is prescribed to reduce pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Tolazoline exhibits both histamine agonist and mildly alpha-adrenergic blocking properties. Vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure are typically lowered by tolazoline.

ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Tolazoline is a pulmonary vasodilator that is recommended for use in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) to reduce pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Tolazoline exhibits both histamine agonist and modest alpha-adrenergic blocking properties. Vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure are typically decreased by tolazoline.[1] Compared to SNP, tolazoline is less broadly effective against all spasmogens that have been studied. However, in human radial arteries, it might be useful in preventing vasospasm mediated by alpha-adrenoceptors.[2]

ln Vivo
Studies have investigated the pharmacologic mechanism of 2-(4'-isothiocyanatobenzyl) imidazoline (IBI) and analogs for interaction with imidazoline receptors (IRs), alpha-adrenergic receptors (alpha-ARs), and calcium channels in cardiovascular muscle systems. IBI differs from tolazoline by substitution of an electrophilic isothiocyanato (NCS) group. Unlike tolazoline, which is a partial alpha-AR agonist, IBI produced an irreversible, slow-onset, and sustained contraction of rat aorta with an median effective concentration (EC50) value of 5 microM, and a maximal contraction (116%) greater than that of phenylephrine (100%) and tolazoline (59%). The IBI-induced contractions were dependent on calcium channels and independent of alpha-ARs or IRs. Similarly, structure-activity relation studies in rat aortic smooth muscles on a series of synthesized IBI analogs indicated that NCS analogs, but not those without the NCS group, exhibited effects by a non-alpha-AR, non-IR, but a calcium channel-dependent mechanism. Thus the presence of an intact IBI ring in these analogs is not a requirement for these activities. Further, IBI inhibited dihydropyridine (DHP, [3H]PN 200-110 and [3H]Bay K 8644) binding to L-type calcium channels of T-tubule membranes in rabbit skeletal muscle. In contrast to nifedipine, IBI and NCS derivatives (nifedipine-NCS, naphazoline-NCS) only partially (50-88%) displaced specific binding of these radioligands. A single site of noncooperative interaction was observed for nifedipine (nH = 0.97), whereas tolazoline-NCS (IBI, nH = 1.46) and nifedipine-NCS (nH = 1.37) exhibited a positive cooperativity in binding to DHP sites. These receptor-binding data indicate that NCS derivatives bind to L-type calcium channels and interact allosterically with DHP-binding sites. Direct binding of the NCS group to specific nucleophilic protein sites of the calcium channel may be responsible for its activation and the subsequent contractile effects of IBI. [1]
Cell Assay
Tolazoline (10(-9)-10(-4) M) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10(-9)-10(-4) M) were cumulatively applied on radial artery rings precontracted submaximally with noradrenaline, endothelin-1, thromboxane analogue, U46619, or potassium chloride. In addition, some rings were pretreated with tolazoline (4 x 10(-6) M) for 30 minutes and the contractile response curve to noradrenaline was assessed in its presence. Results: tolazoline effectively reversed noradrenaline-induced contractions in the radial artery, whereas it failed to produce remarkable relaxations on rings contracted with other spasmogenic agents, while SNP overcame the contractions induced by all spasmogens to a similar extent. In addition, brief pretreatment of radial artery rings with tolazoline significantly inhibited the contractions to noradrenaline. Conclusions: tolazoline is not as broadly effective as SNP against all spasmogens investigated; however, it may be effective in counteracting alpha-adrenoceptor-mediated vasospasm in human radial arteries.

Additional Infomation
Tolazoline hydrochloride is a member of benzenes.
A vasodilator that apparently has direct actions on blood vessels and also increases cardiac output. Tolazoline can interact to some degree with histamine, adrenergic, and cholinergic receptors, but the mechanisms of its therapeutic effects are not clear. It is used in treatment of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.
See also: Tolazoline (has active moiety).
The radial artery is increasingly being used in coronary revascularization as an alternative conduit to a saphenous vein graft. Its perfect endothelial capacity provides a high patency rate comparable with the internal mammary artery (IMA). However, its spastic characteristics cause difficulties during its intraoperative preparation and may lead to early postoperative graft failure. Thus, treatment and/or prevention of radial artery spasm with an effective vasodilator agent is essential for its longevity. Endogenous vasoconstrictors, including noradrenaline, endothelin-1, and thromboxane A2, are likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of graft spasm. In the present study, we evaluated the vasorelaxant effect of tolazoline, a nonselective alpha-adrenoceptor blocker, against the contractions induced by various spasmogenic agents in an isolated human radial artery.[2]
