Summary

Adult respiratory distress syndrome and disseminated intravascular coagulation are important pathologic conditions affecting the outcome of patients with sepsis. To elucidate the possible therapeutic efficacy of SM-12502, a novel platelet activating factor antagonist, on acute lung injury and disseminated intravascular coagulation in sepsis, we investigated the effect of SM-12502 on an endotoxin (ET)-induced septic model in rats. SM-12502 prevented ET-induced increases in pulmonary vascular permeability and ET-induced histologic changes, such as leukocyte infiltration and pulmonary interstitial edema, 6 h following the administration of ET (5 mg/kg). SM-12502 also inhibited the decrease in fibrinogen and the increase in fibrin and fibrinogen degradation products observed following ET administration. SM-12502 prevented increases in the serum concentration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) 90 min following ET administration in vivo, and significantly inhibited the production of TNF-α by ET-stimulated monocytes in vitro.

These findings suggest that SM-12502 attenuates the actions of endotoxin by the inhibition of TNF production
