Application

ARC 239 is a potent α-adrenoceptor blocking drug, competitively antagonizing pressor responses to adrenaline and inhibiting pressor responses to noradrenaline, phenylephrine, tyramine, and dimethylphenylpiperazinium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ARC 239 is a selective α-2B adrenergic blocker. Although ARC-239, like prazosin, also has some alpha-1 antagonist activity, it is used most commomly to differentiate alpha-2A/D from alpha-2B and alpha-2C subtypes rather than for any alpha-1 inhibition..

The subtype determination of auto- and hetero-alpha 2-adrenoceptors modulating the synthesis of noradrenaline (NA) and serotonin (5-HT), respectively, was assessed using the accumulation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) after decarboxylase inhibition as a measure of the rate of tyrosine

1. The noradrenaline (NA)-activated response was investigated in neurones acutely dissociated from the rat locus coeruleus (LC) using nystatin-perforated, conventional whole-cell and inside-out patch recording modes under current- and voltage-clamp conditions. 2. Under current-clamp conditions, NA hyperpolarized the LC neurones

In pentobarbital-treated dogs and rats, AR-C239, a new and potent alpha-adrenoceptor blocking drug, competitively antagonized pressor responses to adrenaline and inhibited pressor responses to noradrenaline, phenylephrine, tyramine, and dimethylphenylpiperazinium. Injected intravenously into closed-chest dogs, AR-C239 (3-50 micrograms/kg) induced a progressive

The effects of several alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists were examined on the cholinergic twitch contractions evoked by electrical field stimulation of guinea-pig duodenum. Oxymetazoline, xylazine, noradrenaline, alpha-methyl-noradrenaline or medetomidine (0.01-30 microM) were nearly equieffective in inhibiting duodenal twitch responses.

1. The influence of the sympathetic nervous system on intestinal fluid transport by the jejunum and ileum of the anaesthetized rat was investigated under basal conditions and during active secretion induced by intra-arterial infusion of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). 2.
