The effect of papaverine on renal function and renin release was investigated in dogs in vivo and in vitro. Intrarenal arterial infusion of 0.1 mg/kg/min of papaverine for 10 minutes caused a significant rise in renal blood flow, a significant decrease in renal vascular resistance, clearance and extraction ratio of creatinine and PAH and in the amount of filtered sodium, without altering arterial blood pressure. There was a significant increase in sodium excretion and in the excreted percentage of filtered sodium (TRFNa). Renin activity (PRA) of arterial blood and renal venous blood, veno-arterious PRA-difference and renin secretion increased significantly after papaverine infusion. In order to eliminate the effect of hemodynamic changes on renin secretion, the effect of papaverine (10(-5), 10(-4)M) was investigated in vitro in surviving canine kidney cortex slices. Papaverine caused a significant increase in renin release and in tissue cAMP concentration. This supports the assumption that the increase in renin secretion might be due to a direct effect on the juxtaglomerular apparatus, by blocking phosphodiesterase activity and by increasing the renal cAMP level.
