title: Pharmacological characterization of alpha1-adrenoceptor in mouse iliac artery.
abstract: Subtypes of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor-mediated contraction to noradrenaline in the mouse iliac artery were determined (pharmaco-mechanically). Prazosin, 2-[2,6-dimethoxyphenoxyethyl]aminomethyl-1,4-benzodioxane hydrochloride (WB 4101) and 5-methylurapidil shifted the concentration-response curve for noradrenaline to the right, giving the pA(2) values of 9.30, 9.55 and 8.71, respectively. 8-[2-[4-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-ethyl]-8-azaspiro[4,5]decane-7,9-dione dihydrochloride (BMY 7378) shifted the concentration-response curve for noradrenaline to the right and the pA(2) value was 6.62. These results indicate that the contractile response to noradrenaline in the mouse iliac artery is predominantly mediated by the alpha(1A) -adrenoceptor subtype.
