The effect of neurotensin was markedly different from that of substance P, bradykinin and compound 48/80 with respect to both the dose-response curve and the sensitivity to benzalkonium chloride.

While the potentiating effect of substance P was not suppressed by any of the non-peptide tachykinin receptor antagonists CP99994 ((2S,3S)-3-(2-methoxybenzylamino)-2-phenylpiperidine), SR48968 ((S)-N-methyl-N-(4-acetylamino-4-phenylpiperidino)-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl) butyl-benzamide) and SR142801 ((S)-(N)-(1-[3-(1-benzoyl-3 (3,4-dichlorophenyl) piperidine-3-yl) propyl]-4-p henylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-methyl-acetamide), it was mimicked by compound 48/80 and suppressed by benzalkonium chloride.

The release of histamine induced by these neuropeptides was inhibited by preincubation of the cells with the SP analogue [D-Pro4,D-Trp7,9,10]-SP4-11 (SP-A) (10 microM), and also by benzalkonium chloride (10 microM).

Benzalkonium chloride was found to be a competitive antagonist of SP and SP3-11: the dissociation constants for the benzalkonium chloride-receptor interaction being about the same when either SP1-11 or SP3-11 was used as the agonist.

6195330 Fox DA, Epstein ML, Bass P: Surfactants selectively ablate enteric neurons of the rat jejunum. . J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1983 Nov;227(2):538-44.

Various concentrations of the cationic surfactants benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and benzethonium chloride, the anionic surfactants sodium ricinoleate, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate and sodium lauryl sulfate and the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 were applied to the serosal surface of the rat jejunum every 5 min for 0.5 hr and then rinsed off with saline.
BAC treatment markedly reduced the immunoreactivity of somatostatin, substance P, met-enkephalin and vasoactive intestinal peptide in the myenteric plexus.

The data support the proposal that bradykinin and analogues act like mastoparan, substance P, and compound 48/80, interacting first with sialic acid residues of the cell surface and then with Gi-like proteins, inducing phospholipase C activation and intracellular calcium mobilization.
The inhibitory effect of benzalkonium chloride showed that the G proteins involved belong to the Gi type.

The myenteric plexus of a segment of rat jejunum was destroyed by serosal application of benzalkonium chloride (BAC).
Fifteen days after BAC treatment, both the BAC-treated and an orad control jejunal segment were removed and the mechanical responses of the longitudinal muscle produced by the following substances were examined: substance P, acetylcholine (ACh), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), norepinephrine, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), bombesin, [Leu5] enkephalin and somatostatin.

The substance P-related peptide, GPAnt-2, known to antagonize the effects of mastoparan on G (o), blocked both the inhibitory effect of mastoparan on secretion and the mastoparan-stimulated GTPase activity in chromaffin granule membranes.
Consistent with this finding, two other known activators of heterotrimeric G proteins, aluminum fluoride and benzalkonium chloride, inhibited calcium-evoked catecholamine secretion in streptolysin O-permeabilized chromaffin cells.

Mucosal application of lidocaine but not serosal application of benzalkonium chloride which ablates the myenteric neurons in the donor rats also abolished the stimulatory action of the intestinal washings.
Furthermore, treatment of the donor rats with a 5HT3 antagonist and a substance P antagonist also prevented the secretion of CCK-RP.

Spantide, a competitive inhibitor of SP, was injected intracutaneously into the volar aspect of the forearm prior to the following challenges: benzalkonium chloride (irritant delayed reaction), tuberculin (immunological delayed reaction), UVB irradiation, benzoic acid (non-immunological contact urticaria), different food allergens and latex (in patients with immunological contact urticaria).

Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) causes selective lesions in gut myenteric neurons after serosal application.
RESULTS: In BAC treated rats radioimmunoassay of tissue extracts revealed a dose related specific loss of gastrin releasing peptide, substance P, and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide immunoreactivities from the treated region, and immunohistochemistry revealed loss of the neuronal marker PGP 9.5 and the afferent neuropeptide calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP).

Concentrations for interleukin (IL)-6 in the placebo period were 41.5 pg/mL (0.9-91.7 pg/mL) and in the BAC period were 17.6 pg/mL (3.2-65.9 pg/mL; p = 0.46), and concentrations for substance P were 119 pg/mL (58-293 pg/mL) and 131 pg/mL (80-330 pg/mL; p = 0.31), respectively.

Histamine release was dose-dependently inhibited by pertussis toxin (1-100 ng/ml) and by benzalkonium chloride (0.1-3 micrograms/ml).
The parallel response of rat peritoneal mast cells to kinins and to substance P suggest that these peptides have the same mechanisms of action i.e. activation of a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein and of phospholipase C defining a peptidergic triggering pathway of mast cells.
