- PURPOSE: Previous reports have demonstrated the inhibitory effect of exogenous gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on micturition. In the current study we tested whether tiagabine (Sanofi Synthelab., Newcastle-upon Tyne, United Kingdom), a GABA re-uptake inhibitor increasing endogenous GABA concentrations, would affect micturition in awake rats or influence rat detrusor contraction in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nonanesthetized female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent cystometric investigation in a metabolic cage. Micturition was stimulated by infusing saline intravesically. Micturition parameters were recorded and compared before and after drug administration. In vitro the effects of tiagabine on electrical and carbachol induced contractions in bladder strips were investigated. Furthermore, it was studied whether tiagabine interfered with electrically induced release of acetylcholine. RESULTS: Intravenous administration of 5 and 20 mg. kg.-1 tiagabine in 7 and 9 rats decreased micturition pressure a mean plus or minus standard error of mean of 21% +/- 11% and 42% +/- 9%, and decreased voided volume a mean of 31% +/- 9% and 33% +/- 9%, respectively. At 20 mg. kg.-1 tiagabine intravenously increased post-void residual volume a mean of 300% +/- 120% and decreased bladder capacity a mean of 14% +/- 3%. Tiagabine (100 microg.) intrathecally in 7 rats reduced micturition pressure a mean of 34% +/- 10% and increased bladder capacity a mean of 30% +/- 9% and post-void residual volume a mean of 250% +/- 75%. However, voided volume was not changed. In vitro studies demonstrated that tiagabine attenuated bladder contractions induced by electrical field stimulation to a mean of 69% +/- 6% of controls at 100 microM. but did not affect contractions induced by carbachol. Release studies revealed that tiagabine inhibited electrical induced acetylcholine release to a mean of 82% +/- 5% of controls at 100 microM. CONCLUSIONS: The current results show that tiagabine has an inhibitory action on rat micturition. The site of action may be central and peripheral.
