Establishment and Validation of a Rabbit Model for In Vivo Pharmacodynamic Screening of Tachykinin NK2 Antagonists

We attempted to establish and validate an in vivo pharmacodynamic (PD) rabbit model to screen tachykinin NK2 receptor (NK2-R) antagonists using pharmacological and pharmacokinetic (PK)/PD analyses. Under urethane anesthesia, changes in intracolonic pressure associated with intravenous (i.v.) adminis...
