Agonistic activity of SR59230A at atypical beta-adrenoceptors in guinea pig gastric fundus and duodenum.
We have recently suggested that atypical beta-adrenoceptors are present in guinea pig gastric fundus and duodenum. In the present study, we have shown that SR59230A (3-(2-ethylphenoxy)-1-[(1S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-1-ylamino]-(2S)-2-propanol oxalate), a selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor antagonist, possesses agonistic activities at atypical beta-adrenoceptors in these tissues. SR59230A caused concentration-dependent relaxations. However, (+/-)-propranolol (1 microM) did not affect SR59230A-induced relaxations. Pretreatment of with a combination of (+/-)-propranolol (1 microM) and the non-selective beta(1)-, beta(2)-, beta(3)- and beta(4)-adrenoceptor antagonist, (+/-)-bupranolol (30 microM), significantly antagonized the relaxant effects induced by SR59230A. The results clearly indicate that SR59230A acts as an atypical beta-adrenoceptor agonist on guinea pig gastric fundus and duodenum.
