Abstract
The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) indomethacin and mefenamic acid, at concentrations ranging from 3 microM to 18 microM, enhanced antigen-induced slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) release from sensitized fragmented guinea-pig lung. In contrast, these agents had no effect on SRS-A release from nonsensitized guinea-pig lung induced by several concentrations of the calcium ionophore, A23187. Neither increasing preincubation time with the NSAID nor the use of sensitized tissue resulted in an enhancement of A23187-induced SRS-A release by indomethacin. NSAID did not alter histamine release by either stimulus. These results suggest that antigen and A23187 induce SRS-A release from different sources or by different mechanisms in guinea-pig lung.
