The forefront for novel therapeutic agents based on the pathophysiology of lower urinary tract dysfunction: pathophysiology of voiding dysfunction and pharmacological therapy Takeda M; Araki I; Mochizuki T; Nakagomi H; Kobayashi H; Sawada N; Zakohji HJ Pharmacol Sci 2010[]; 112 (2): 121-7Normal lower urinary tract function consists of voiding and storage. During voiding, the pontine micturition reflex center orders the sacral parasympathetic nucleus to increase parasympathetic activity, resulting in urinary bladder detrusor contraction via activation of post-synaptic muscarinic receptors (M2/3) and in the relaxation of both urethral and prostatic smooth muscle by nitric oxide (NO). In addition, the rhabdosphincter relaxes by inhibition of the pudendal nucleus at the sacral portion. During the storage phase, increase in sympathetic activity relaxes the urinary bladder via activation of post-synaptic beta(3)-receptors and in the contraction of both urethral and prostatic smooth muscles via alpha(1)-adrenoceptor. Many factors influence voiding function, including lower urinary tract disorders (benign prostatic hyperplasia in males, urethral stricture) and neurological disorders (central and peripheral). Theories of pharmacotherapy for voiding dysfunction are 1) increase detrusor contractility and 2) decrease urethral resistance. The former includes agonists for muscarinic receptors and cholinesterase inhibitor; and the latter includes alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonists, NO donors, benzodiazepines, baclofen, dantrolene, and boturinum toxin.|*Urinary Tract Physiological Phenomena[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Muscle Contraction/drug effects[MESH]|Nitric Oxide/metabolism[MESH]|Receptors, Muscarinic/drug effects/metabolism[MESH]|Urinary Tract/*physiopathology[MESH]|Urination Disorders/*drug therapy/etiology/physiopathology[MESH] |
