In 18 healthy volunteers, in a double-blind placebo-controlled study, we investigated of whether 14 days treatment with a therapeutic dose of ibopamine (3 x 100 mg/day p.o.), respectively its active metabolite epinine, would desensitize lymphocyte beta 2- or platelet alpha 2-adrenoceptors, or alpha 1- and beta-adrenoceptor mediated (phenylephrine- and isoprenaline infusions, respectively), changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. Ibopamine-treatment, which resulted in peak plasma epinine concentrations of 4-5 nmol.l-1, neither affected resting heart rate or blood pressure, nor any of the alpha- or beta-adrenoceptor parameters measured. Since in man in general long-term administration of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor agonists desensitizes alpha- and beta-adrenoceptors, the lack of any alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor desensitizing effect of ibopamine suggests that, in the dose employed (3 x 100 mg per day), ibopamine does not exert alpha- or beta-adrenoceptor agonistic effect in humans.

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.
