A polyethylene cannula filled with heparin solution was inserted into the femoral artery of the rats to measure mean blood pressure. Mean blood pressure was measured with a pressure transducer and recorded on a polygraph. The test compound dissolved in ethanol, polyethylene glycol and distilled water (1:1:1) was administered through a polyethylene cannula inserted into the femoral vein in a volume of 1 ml/kg. Intravenous hypotensive effect of the test compound was expressed as the maximal decrease (R max) . Briefly, R max was expressed as maximal " * change compared to mean blood pressure prior to the administration of the rest compound.

Biol. Chem., Vol. 269, No. 16, pp.12173-12178 (1994) : Circulation, Vol. 90, No. 4, ppl643-1647 (1994) : FΞ3S Letters 344 (1994) 74-78] . After transfection, cells which expressed human IP receptor were collected with cell scraper at 4°C and stored in -80°C. The composition of assay buffer was as follows : 20 mM MES (pH 6.0), 10 mM MgCl 2 , 1 mM EDTA, and 0.1 mM PMSF. Frozen cells were thawed and aliquots (4.5 x 10^ cells) were incubated for 60 minutes under shaking at 30°C in plastic tubes in 100 μl of assay buffer with 10 nM of [ 3 H] -iloprost in the presence or absence of the test compound (1 x 10 " °M) . To determine the non-specific binding, iloprost at 10 μM was added. Each assay was preformed in duplicate. Reaction mixture was filtered through a Whatman GF/C glass filter to stop the reaction. After washing the filter with ice-cold assay buffer, the radioactivity of the filter was countered. Non-specific binding was subtracted from total binding to yield specific binding. The effect of the test compound was expressed as % inhibition of specific [ 3 H] -iloprost binding.
