title: The effect of bromoacetylalprenololmentane on rat atrial tension development and beta-adrenoreceptors.
abstract: In isolated rat atria, 1 microM bromoacetylalprenololmentane shifted the tension development curve for isoproterenol to the right of the control curve. After a 2 h washout period, no significant recovery of the isoproterenol concentration-response curve had occurred. Pretreatment of rat atrial membranes with 1 microM bromoacetylalprenololmentane resulted in an 83% decrease in the concentration of beta-adrenoceptors with no change in the KD value for [125I]iodocyanopindolol binding to the receptors left. The results indicated that bromoacetylalprenololmentane was an irreversible beta-blocker.
