Characterization and in vivo efficacy of a heptapeptide ODT formulation for the treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
Model: Acute spinal cord injury with areflexic bladder: complete spinal cord transection at T9 to T10 after laminectomy under urethane anaesthesia, with isovolumetric bladder pressure recording at 70 per cent of functional bladder capacity
Sublingual peptide tablets produced a rapid dose-related neurokinin-2 mediated increase in bladder pressure in acutely spinalised rats that was reversed by the NK2 antagonist, although potency was much lower and onset slower than intravenous dosing
