• Yoshida, M. and Koeda, T. <I>Effect of aminoglycoside antibiotics on the electrical stimula-tion-induced contractile response of the guinea-pig ureter.</I> Japanese Tournal of Smooth Muscle Research., 1989, 25 (3), 75-87, 1989 Using electrical stimulation, we first inves-tigated whether the movement of ureteral smooth muscle of the guinea-pig was myogenic in its control, or neurogenic. We then investigated the effects of aminoglycoside antibiotics (kanamycin, bekanamycin and ribostamycin) on the movement of ureteral smooth muscle induced by electrical stimulation. In these investigations, each ureter removed from the animal was cut into three approximately equal-sized segments, which are an upper segment (kidney side), a middle segment and a lower segment (urinary bladder side). Each segment was mounted in an organ bath filled with Krebs solution and the mechanical response induced by electrical stimulation of each segment was recorded isometrically. Each one of the upper, the middle and the lower segments was stimulated with rectangular pulses (50 volt, 0.1-3 msec durations, 40 Hz) for a period of 2 sec. Of all segments tested (ten in each group), none showed any response to the stimulation with pulses below 0.5 msec duration. While 2-3 segments out of ten of the upper, the middle and the lower ureteral segments showed a contractile response to stimulation with pulses of 1 msec duration, the rest of the segments showed no response to the same stimulation. This contractile response was not inhibited by tetrodotoxin which is known to block the nerve-mediated response. And also, all the ten samples of each upper, middle and lower segment never failed to show a contractile response to stimulation with pulses of 2 msec and 3 msec duration. Various drugs which are already known to block the nerve-mediated response (i.e., atropine, guane-thidine, phentolamine, propranolol and tetrodotoxin) were tried, but none of them had an inhibitory effect on the contractile response. On the other hand, each one of kanamycin (KM), bekanamycin (AKM) and ribostamycin (RSM) in concentrations of 1×10<SUP>-5</SUP> g/ml-1×10<SUP>-3</SUP> g/ml produced a concentration-dependent decreasing effect in the magnitude of the electrical stimulation-induced contractile response of the ureteral segment. In addition, the decreasing effects of these antibiotics were also observed in the tetrodotoxin. From these results, we concluded that the contractile response of the ureter may be myogenic in its control, and the aminoglycoside antibiotics, KM, AKM and RSM, may act directly on the ureteral smooth muscle so as to decrease its contractile response.
