Abstract
To determine the existence of beta 3-adrenoceptors in functional assays in isolated preparations for which data are lacking, we compared the effects of SR 58611A, a selective beta 3-adrenoceptor agonist, and isoprenaline in the guinea pig common bile duct, distal colon and urinary bladder. SR 58611A and isoprenaline relaxed the common bile duct (EC50: 6.85 and 0.41 mumol/l, respectively). The effect of SR 58611A was resistant to CGP 20712A, ICI 118551, propranolol and tetrodotoxin, but was antagonized by alprenolol (pA2 = 6.86), while the effect of isoprenaline was antagonized by CGP 20712A, ICI 118551, propranolol and alprenolol (pA2 = 7.04, in the presence of propranolol to saturate beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors). In colonic preparations, SR 58611A and isoprenaline relaxed circular muscle strips (EC50: 5.48 and 0.49 mumol/l, respectively). The effect of SR 58611A was resistant to CGP 20712A, ICI 118551, propranolol and tetrodotoxin, but was antagonized by alprenolol (pA2 = 7.01). The effect of isoprenaline was resistant to CGP 20712A, but was antagonized by ICI 118551, propranolol and alprenolol (pA2 = 6.88, in the presence of propranolol). In urinary bladder strips, SR 58611A had no effect, whereas isoprenaline reduced re...Continue Reading
