Bombesin is a tetradecapeptide extracted from the side of discoglossid frogs Bombina bombina and Bombina variegata variegata. In anaesthetized dogs bombesin causes mainly systemic hypertension, bradycardia and constriction of the renal, mesenteric and coeliac arterial vessels. The other vascular beds studied (carotid, femoral and coronaric) passively follow the blood pressure. Tachyphylaxis may occur. Dibenzyline and hexamethonium do not antagonize the hypertensive property of bombesin, while the occlusion either of the renal vessels or of the mesenteric, coeliac arteries and portal vein reduces the intensity and the duration of the hypertensive response. The simultaneous occlusion of all the above mentioned vessels further reduces the duration of the hypertensive response evoked by bombesin and reverses its effect on the heart from mainly bradycardic to pure tachycardic. In these condition bombesin causes carotid and peripheral vasoconstriction. The increase of heart rate and of blood pressure, while occurs after ligation of aplanchnic vessels, is completely or partly antagonized by propranolol. In normal conscious dogs bombesin is at least 10 times more potent and less tachyphylactic than in anesthetized dogs.
