A comparison was made of the cerebrovascular responses of humans, monkeys and dogs to noradrenaline (NAd) and dopamine (DA) as well as to their N-methylated derivatives, adrenaline (Ad) and N-methyl dopamine (methyl DA). The present experiments demonstrated that N-methylation of both NAd and DA enhanced the contractile responses of these agents in human cerebral arteries, while only N-methylation of DA enhanced the contraction of monkey cerebral arteries, and such an enhancement was not seen in dog cerebral arteries.
对人类、猴子和狗的脑血管对去甲肾上腺素(NAd)、多巴胺(DA)及其N-甲基化衍生物肾上腺素(Ad)和N-甲基多巴胺(甲基DA)的反应进行了比较。目前的实验表明,NAd和DA的N-甲基化均增强了这些药物对人脑动脉的收缩反应,而只有DA的N-甲基化增强了猴脑动脉的收缩,在狗脑动脉中未观察到这种增强。
