Abstract

A series of new phenylethanolamines with 2-methoxy and/or 4-methyl, 4-chloro, or 4-bromo ring substituents and either N-isopropyl or N-tert butyl substituents have been synthesized and tested for beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptor blocking activity using isolated guinea pig atrial and tracheal preparations. Each of the disubstituted N-isopropyl derivatives was a potent antagonist, and the 2-methoxy-4-methyl derivative had a 40-fold beta 1/beta 2-receptor selectivity. Atenolol was shown to have a 32-fold selectivity in the same tests.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
