Prenalterol is an agonist at beta 2- as well as at beta 1-adrenoceptors. 1982

G H Apperley, and G M Drew, and A T Sullivan

Prenalterol exerted agonist activity in cat, but not guinea-pig, isolated atria, which contain predominantly beta 1-adrenoceptors. Prenalterol relaxed K+ -contracted rat uterus, but not histamine-contracted cat lung strips; both contain predominantly beta 2-adrenoceptors. The effect of prenalterol in rat uterus was antagonised by the selective beta 2-adrenoceptor antagonist ICI 118551 but not by the selective beta 1-adrenoceptor antagonist atenolol. Thus the ability of prenalterol to exert beta-adrenoceptor activity is tissue-dependent, rather than beta-adrenoceptor subtype-dependent.

D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
