Prostacyclin (PGI2) produced a biphasic response in canine isolated basilar arteries. In low doses (1 X 10(-8)M-1 X 10(-7)M) PGI2 caused a slight but consistent relaxation of resting muscle tone. In low concentrations (1 X 10(-8)M-1 X 10(-6)M) PGI2 antagonized muscle contractions caused by serotonin or prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha. This relaxant effect with low doses of PGI2 on the isolated cerebral artery contrasts with findings obtained with other PGs and supports the hypothesis that PGI2 is a mediator of vasodilatation. However, in 1 X 10(-5)M concentrations PGI2 contracted the arterial muscle and did not antagonize contractions induced by serotonin or PGF2 alpha.
