Pharmacodynamic parameters (% relaxation at 1 mg/mL, EC50 values, and potency (pEC50)) and SEM obtained by nonlinear regression analysis of concentration-response curve for AECal, CF-AECal, EAF-AECal, and nBF-AECal in isolated rat trachea precontracted by acetylcholine (10 µM).
| AECal | PEF-AECal | CF-AECal | EAF-AECal | nBF-AECal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contraction (% of max) | 5.37 ± 1.37 | 98.79 ± 3.52 | −9.67 ± 2.60 | 94.27 ± 5.69 | 98.47 ± 4.03 |
| EC50 (CI) | 0.54 (0.30–0.98) | nd | 0.02 (0.02–0.03) | nd | nd |
| pEC50 ± SEM | 0.27 ± 0.12 | nd | 1.60 ± 0.06 | −1.47 ± 0.25 | nd |
Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of 6–8 experiments. Significantly different from control: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001.
