Effects of α <inf>1</inf>-adrenoceptor antagonists on phenylephrine-induced salivary secretion and intraurethral pressure elevation in anesthetized rats
2012, European Journal of PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Silodosin is a highly selective α1A-adrenoceptor antagonist, with higher affinity for the α1A subtype than for α1B (200-fold) and α1D (50-fold) (Murata et al., 1999). In contrast, tamsulosin has higher affinity for α1A- and α1D-adrenoceptors than for the α1B-adrenoceptor, whereas prazosin and urapidil show no subtype selectivity (Foglar et al., 1995; Lefèvre-Borg et al., 1993; Takei et al., 1999). Thus, due to its high selectivity for α1A-adrenoceptors, silodosin might inhibit the α1A-adrenoceptor-mediated salivary secretion more potently than the α1A/α1D-adrenoceptor-mediated prostate and urethra contractions.
