α-adrenergic receptor

体外活性：Terazosin 在 PC-3 和人良性前列腺细胞中诱导细胞毒性，IC50 超过 100 μM。 Terazosin 还有效抑制血管内皮生长因子诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞增殖和管形成（IC50 分别为 9.9 和 6.8 μM）。细胞测定：为了确定细胞毒性作用的作用模式，本研究中使用了多种鉴定技术。使用末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶脱氧尿苷三磷酸缺口末端标记原位检测凋亡细胞。结果显示，用特拉唑嗪 (100 μM) 处理 PC-3 细胞 12 小时后出现阳性反应。

特拉唑嗪对运动活动和僵直症产生剂量依赖性的完全抑制作用。脑室内注射该拮抗剂可保护纹状体和大脑皮质 α1 受体，但不能保护纹状体或皮质 D1 受体免受 N-乙氧基羰基-2-乙氧基-1,2-二羟基喹啉体内烷基化。心室内注射特拉唑嗪还会导致体温过低和呼吸频率降低，表明交感神经流出减少。特拉唑嗪不会损害水平钢丝测试的表现或游泳测试中协调运动的能力。 Terazosin 在裸鼠中显着抑制血管内皮生长因子诱导的血管生成，IC50 为 7.9 μM，表明其具有比细胞毒作用更有效的抗血管生成作用。

本研究中使用了PC-3细胞和人良性前列腺细胞的原代培养物。使用3-（4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基）-2,5-二苯基溴化四氮唑测定法和乳酸脱氢酶释放反应检测细胞毒性作用。在裸鼠模型中测定体内血管生成作用，然后进行组织学检查和血红蛋白检测定量。在培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞中进行了细胞迁移、增殖和管形成的体外测定。结果terazosin/特拉唑嗪可诱导PC-3和人类良性前列腺细胞产生细胞毒性，IC50超过100微M。末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶脱氧尿苷三磷酸缺口末端标记和乳酸脱氢酶释放反应阳性与特拉唑嗪诱导的细胞毒性有关，表明细胞凋亡和坏死死亡。此外，特拉唑嗪作用引起的细胞毒性不是喹唑啉基结构的常见特征。特拉唑嗪显著抑制血管内皮生长因子诱导的裸鼠血管生成，IC50为7.9微M。，表明其抗血管生成作用比细胞毒性作用更强。特拉唑嗪还有效地抑制了血管内皮生长因子诱导的培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞的增殖和管形成（IC50分别为9.9和6.8微摩尔）。 结论：我们的数据表明，terazosin/特拉唑嗪通过抑制内皮细胞的增殖和管形成显示出直接的抗血管生成活性。这一作用可能部分解释了特拉唑嗪的体内抗肿瘤潜力[4]。

terazosin, a water-soluble alpha 1 antagonist that can be administered in high doses intraventricularly was used to study the relationship between brain alpha 1 adrenoceptor neurotransmission and behavioral activation in the mouse. The antagonist was found to produce a dose-dependent, complete inhibition of motor activity and catalepsy which were reversed preferentially by coinfusion of an alpha 1 agonist (phenylephrine) compared to a D1 (SKF38393) or a D2 agonist, (quinpirole). Blockade of central beta-1 (betaxolol), alpha-2 (RX821002) or beta-2 (ICI 118551) adrenoceptors had smaller or non-significant effects. Terazosin's selectivity for alpha 1 receptors versus dopaminergic receptors was verified under the present conditions by showing that the intraventricularly administered antagonist protected striatal and cerebral cortical alpha 1 receptors but not striatal or cortical D1 receptors from in vivo alkylation by N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1, 2-dihydroxyquinoline. That its effect was due to blockade of brain rather than peripheral receptors was shown by the finding that intraperitoneal doses of terazosin three to 66 times greater than the maximal intraventricular dose produced less behavioral inhibition. Intraventricular terazosin also produced hypothermia and a reduced respiratory rate suggestive of a reduced sympathetic outflow. However, external heat did not affect the inactivity, and captopril, a hypotensive agent, did not mimic it. Terazosin did not impair performance on a horizontal wire test or the ability to make co-ordinated movements in a swim test suggesting that its activity-reducing effect was not due to sedation and may have a motivational or sensory gating component. It is concluded that central alpha 1-noradrenergic neurotransmission is required for behavioral activation to environmental change in the mouse and may operate on sensorimotor and motivational processes.

Biological Half-Life
Terazosin has a mean half life 12 hours though this can be as high as 14 hours in patients over 70 years and as low as 11.4 hours in patients 20 to 39 years old.

Toxicity Summary
Terazosin selectively and competitively inhibits vascular postsynaptic alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors, resulting in peripheral vasodilation and a reduction of vascular resistance and blood pressure. Unlike the nonselective alph-adrenergic blockers phenoxybenzamine and phentolamine, terazosin does not block presynaptic alpha(2)-receptors and, hence, does not cause reflex activation of norepinephrine release to produce reflex tachycardia.

---

Hepatotoxicity
Terazosin has been associated with a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations that in controlled trials was no higher than with placebo therapy. These elevations were transient and did not require dose modification. Instances of serum enzyme elevations, but no instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury with jaundice due to terazosin, have been published. Furthermore, product labels do not include discussion of hepatic toxicity. Cholestatic hepatitis and jaundice have been reported with other alpha-adrenergic blockers. Thus, acute symptomatic liver injury due to terazosin must be exceedingly rare if it occurs at all.
Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).

Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
Because no information is available on the use of terazosin during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. However, the pharmacologically similar drug prazosin does not affect serum prolactin concentration in patients with hypertension. The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.

Recent evidence from our laboratory has demonstrated that alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists doxazosin and terazosin induced apoptosis in prostate epithelial and smooth muscle cells in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH; J. Urol., 159: 1810-1815, 1998; J. Urol., 161: 2002-2007, 1999). In this study, we investigated the biological action of three alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists, doxazosin, terazosin, and tamsulosin, against prostate cancer cell growth. The antigrowth effect of the three alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists was examined in two human prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3 and DU-145, and a prostate smooth muscle cell primary culture, SMC-1, on the basis of: (a) cell viability assay; (b) rate of DNA synthesis; and (c) induction of apoptosis. Our results indicate that treatment of prostate cancer cells with doxazosin or terazosin results in a significant loss of cell viability, via induction of apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, whereas tamsulosin had no effect on prostate cell growth. Neither doxazosin nor terazosin exerted a significant effect on the rate of cell proliferation in prostate cancer cells. Exposure to phenoxybenzamine, an irreversible inhibitor of alpha1-adrenoceptors, does not abrogate the apoptotic effect of doxazosin or terazosin against human prostate cancer or smooth muscle cells. This suggests that the apoptotic activity of doxazosin and terazosin against prostate cells is independent of their capacity to antagonize alpha1-adrenoceptors. Furthermore, an in vivo efficacy trial demonstrated that doxazosin administration (at tolerated pharmacologically relevant doses) in SCID mice bearing PC-3 prostate cancer xenografts resulted in a significant inhibition of tumor growth. These findings demonstrate the ability of doxazosin and terazosin (but not tamsulosin) to suppress prostate cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo by inducing apoptosis without affecting cell proliferation. This evidence provides the rationale for targeting both drugs, already in clinical use and with established adverse-effect profiles, against prostatic tumors for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.[2]

Human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) potassium channels are expressed in multiple tissues including the heart and adenocarcinomas. In cardiomyocytes, HERG encodes the alpha-subunit underlying the rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current, I(Kr), and pharmacological reduction of HERG currents may cause acquired long QT syndrome. In addition, HERG currents have been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonists are commonly used in the treatment of hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Recently, doxazosin has been associated with an increased risk of heart failure. Moreover, quinazoline-derived alpha 1-inhibitors induce apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and prostate tumor cells independently of alpha1-adrenoceptor blockade. To assess the action of the effects of prazosin, doxazosin, and terazosin on HERG currents, we investigated their acute electrophysiological effects on cloned HERG potassium channels heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes and HEK 293 cells.Prazosin, doxazosin, and terazosin blocked HERG currents in Xenopus oocytes with IC(50) values of 10.1, 18.2, and 113.2 microM respectively, whereas the IC(50) values for HERG channel inhibition in human HEK 293 cells were 1.57 microM, 585.1 nM, and 17.7 microM. Detailed biophysical studies revealed that inhibition by the prototype alpha 1-blocker prazosin occurred in closed, open, and inactivated channels. Analysis of the voltage-dependence of block displayed a reduction of inhibition at positive membrane potentials. Frequency-dependence was not observed. Prazosin caused a negative shift in the voltage-dependence of both activation (-3.8 mV) and inactivation (-9.4 mV). The S6 mutations Y652A and F656A partially attenuated (Y652A) or abolished (F656A) HERG current blockade, indicating that prazosin binds to a common drug receptor within the pore-S6 region. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that HERG potassium channels are blocked by prazosin, doxazosin, and terazosin. These data may provide a hypothetical molecular explanation for the apoptotic effect of quinazoline-derived alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists.[3]

Metastatic prostate cancer progresses from androgen-dependent to androgen-independent. Terazosin, a long-acting selective alpha1-adrenoreceptor antagonist, induces apoptosis of prostate cancer cells in an alpha1-adrenoreceptor-independent manner, while genistein, a major soy isoflavone, inhibits the growth of several types of cancer cells. The present study was designed to test the therapeutic potential of a combination of terazosin and genistein using a metastatic, hormone-independent prostatic cancer cell line, DU-145. Terazosin or genistein treatment inhibited the growth of DU-145 cells in a dose-dependent manner, whereas had no effect on normal prostate epithelial cells. Addition of 1 microg/ml of terazosin, which was inactive alone, augmented the growth inhibitory effect of 5 microg/ml of genistein. Co-treatment with terazosin resulted in the genistein-induced arrest of DU-145 cells in G2/M phase being overridden and an increase in apoptotic cells, as evidenced by procaspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage. The combination also caused a greater decrease in the levels of the apoptosis-regulating protein, Bcl-XL, and of VEGF165 and VEGF121 than genistein alone. In conclusion, the terazosin/genistein combination was more effective in inhibiting cell growth and VEGF expression as well as inducing apoptosis of the metastatic, androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line, DU-145, than either alone. The doses used in this study are in lower and nontoxic anticancer dosage range, suggesting this combination has potential for therapeutic use.[4]
