Ligand-independent negative chronotropic responses of rat and mouse right atria to beta-adrenoceptor antagonists.

Abstract:

:Negative chronotropic effects of beta-adrenoceptor (betaAR) antagonists on right atria from reserpine-treated rats and mice were determined as a test of their inverse agonist activities. BetaAR antagonist ICI-118,551 and nonselective betaAR antagonists alprenolol, propranolol, and timolol produced negative chronotropic effects. In contrast, nonselective betaAR antagonists pindolol and nadolol as well as beta1AR-selective antagonists atenolol, acebutolol, and metoprolol did not cause a significant decrease in atrial rates. The neutral antagonist pindolol but not the inverse agonist alprenolol inhibited the negative chronotropic activities of ICI-118,551. Isoprenaline, salbutamol, and noradrenaline produced positive chronotropic effects; the chronotropic effects of isoprenaline and salbutamol but not of noradrenaline were antagonized by ICI-118,551. It is concluded that both beta1AR and beta2AR mediate positive chronotropic effects of catecholamines on rat and mouse atria but only beta2AR are constitutively active.
