title: The beta3-adrenoceptor agonist SR58611A inhibits gastric acid secretion in the conscious cat.
abstract: The effect of the beta3-adrenoceptor agonist [ N-[(2S)-7-ethoxycarbonyl-methoxyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-2-yl] (2R)-2-(3-chloro-phenyl)2-hydroxyethanamine hydrochloride] (SR58611A) on gastric acid secretion was investigated in conscious cats with a gastric fistula. Intravenous infusion of SR58611A (0.3-3 micromol/kg/h) caused a dose-dependent inhibition of the acid secretion stimulated by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), with a maximum reduction by 45%. The secretory effect of the histamine H2-receptor agonist dimaprit only tended to be reduced by SR58611A (3 micromol/kg/h). The inhibitory effect of SR5861 IA was not modified by the non selective beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol (1.5 micromol/kg i.v.), but it was prevented by bupranolol (10 micromol/kg i.v.), a drug endowed with beta3-antagonistic properties. Both antagonists blocked the inhibitory effect of the beta2-adrenoceptor agonist clenbuterol (0.1 micromol/kg/h) on 2DG-induced acid secretion. These findings suggest that compound SR58611A inhibits gastric acid secretion in the conscious cat through activation of beta3-adrenoceptors insensitive to propranolol.
