Partial agonistic activity of two irreversible beta-adrenergic receptor ligands, bromoacetylated derivatives of alprenolol and pindolol.
Our data demonstrate that the irreversible beta-adrenergic receptor probes BAAM and BIM are partial agonists. They should be used with caution until the impact of this finding on estimates of agonist affinity, non-linear receptor-effector coupling and receptor metabolism can be more precisely defined.
