We have examined the effect of ONO-5046.Na, a synthetic specific inhibitor of neutrophil elastase, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung inflammation. Syrian golden hamsters were injected intraperitoneally with either 300 mg.kg-1 of ONO-5046.Na or saline, 30 min before and 1 h after intratracheal administration of 0.1 mg.kg-1 LPS. Animals were sacrificed 2 and 24 h later and the wet-to-dry lung weight ratio (W/D) was determined. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed, and tissue sections were examined histologically. The effect of ONO-5046.Na on migration of isolated neutrophils was determined. W/D was not significantly different at 2 h, but was increased at 24 h in the LPS-treated animals. This increase was attenuated in the LPS-treated animals injected with ONO-5046.Na. Analysis of BAL fluid revealed that both at 2 and 24 h after LPS administration the total cell number and neutrophil number, albumin concentration, and elastase-like activity were significantly lower in the LPS-treated animals injected with ONO-5046.Na than in those given LPS alone. Histological examination of the lungs of the animals treated with LPS alone showed intra-alveolar haemorrhages and inflammatory cell infiltration 24 h after LPS administration, whereas the lungs of the LPS-treated ONO-5046.Na injected animals were only sparsely infiltrated by inflammatory cells, as indicated by the inflammation score.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
