In pithed normotensive rats, the benzothiazolamine derivative R 56865 in high doses exhibits a competitive antagonism of alpha 1-adrenoceptor-mediated vasoconstrictions. The absence of a depression of the maximum of the dose-response curve of ST 587 and the very moderate attenuation of the maximal B-HT 920-induced increase in diastolic blood pressure (BP) confirms the lack of major calcium entry blocking properties of R 56865 for alpha-adrenoceptor-activated calcium channels in vitro. In doses up to 10(-5) mol/kg, the interaction of R 56865 with the sympathetic neurotransmission can solely be explained by alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockade. This was confirmed by the comparable antagonism of the selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin in a concentration of 6 x 10(-8) mol/kg. In contrast to the isolated rat aorta, where R 56865 showed an allosteric interaction with the NA binding site on the alpha 1-adrenoceptor, R 56865 acts like an alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist of the competitive type in vivo.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D011942 Receptors, Adrenergic, alpha One of the two major pharmacological subdivisions of adrenergic receptors that were originally defined by the relative potencies of various adrenergic compounds. The alpha receptors were initially described as excitatory receptors that post-junctionally stimulate SMOOTH MUSCLE contraction. However, further analysis has revealed a more complex picture involving several alpha receptor subtypes and their involvement in feedback regulation.

D003655 Decerebrate State A condition characterized by abnormal posturing of the limbs that is associated with injury to the brainstem. This may occur as a clinical manifestation or induced experimentally in animals. The extensor reflexes are exaggerated leading to rigid extension of the limbs accompanied by hyperreflexia and opisthotonus. This condition is usually caused by lesions which occur in the region of the brainstem that lies between the red nuclei and the vestibular nuclei. In contrast, decorticate rigidity is characterized by flexion of the elbows and wrists with extension of the legs and feet. The causative lesion for this condition is located above the red nuclei and usually consists of diffuse cerebral damage.
