Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Isolated rat pancreatic glands

Preparation Method

An isolated external perfusion of a rat pancreas included a normal perfusion (KRB, 60 minutes), a long term perfusion (KRB, 240 minutes) and a perfusion (60 minutes) including an additive of the detergents triton x-100 or the cholecystokinin analogue ceruletide (1x10-8 M).

Reaction Conditions

1x10-8 M; 60 or 240 min

Applications

During a perfusion with the cholecystokinin analogue ceruletide (1x108 M), there is an increase of lipase after 30 minutes and an increase of amylase after 50 minutes perfusion.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Rats

Preparation Method

Rats were i.v. infused for 6 h with either ceruletide (5 μg/kg/h) or ceruletide + Gabexate mesilate (50 mg/kg/h).

Dosage form

5 μg/kg/h; i.v.

Applications

In Gabexate mesilate-treated rats the serum amylase and trypsinogen concentrations were reduced by 60 and 80%, respectively, compared to rats infused with ceruletide alone.

Background

Ceruletide, as a decapeptide and a potent cholecystokinetic agent, has a direct spasmogenic effect on the gallbladder muscle and bile ducts in humans and animals.[1]

In vitro experiment it indicated that at 1, 10, and 100 nmol/L, cerulein induced NF-kB–binding activity in a dose-dependent. But 0.3 nmol/L cerulein had no effect on activation NF-kappaB/Rel.[7]

In vivo, at a dose of 100 μg/kg, ceruletide decreased the rates of spontaneous locomotor activity and rearing, and also inhibited methylphenidate- and methamphetamine-induced hyperactivity in both sham-operated and vagotomized mice to same extent.[2] In vivo efficacy test it shown that rabbits were treated with 8 and 50 μg/kg of ceruletide decreased the plasma homovanillic acid levels, but had no significant differences. 140 and 200 μg/kg ceruletide had remarkable reduction of plasma homovanillic acid.[3] Ceruletide (100 μg/kg, s.c.) influenced the central dopaminergic system, enhanced the central effects of neuroleptics and had the potent therapeutic effects in the clinical trials.[4] In a mouse hypoxia model, treatment with 1-100 μg/kg ceruletide subcutaneously obviously prevented the CO-induced impairment of performance and the amelioration being correlated with the severity of hypoxia.[5] In addition, treatment with 10-300 μg/kg intraperitoneally ceruletide slightly but remarkably decreased the response rate (frequency of shuttles) under a discrete avoidance task in mice.[6]
