We examined the inhibitory effects of loxoprofen, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and glycine, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, on the micturition reflex in conscious rats and hypothesized that these drugs would interact synergistically to inhibit micturition. Voiding behaviors were assessed using a metabolic cage. Oral loxoprofen decreased the urinary frequency, and only a high dose(10 mg/kg) significantly reduced the voided volume. With cystometry, intravenous loxoprofen(0.1-3 mg/kg) and glycine (30 and 100 mg/kg) prolonged the intercontraction intervals (ICI) in adose-dependent manner, but did not change the maximum voiding pressure (MVP) in conscious rats. The combination of loxoprofen (3 mg/kg) and glycine (100 mg/kg) strongly prolonged the ICI more than with either drug alone. The lowest dose of loxoprofen (0.1 mg/kg) and glycine(30 mg/kg) did not affect either the ICI or the MVP, but their combination resulted in a significant increase in the ICI. These results suggest that the combined administration of loxoprofen and glycine produced a synergistic inhibitory effect on the micturition reflex.
