Phentolamine (0.1-10 microM) caused an anomalous rightward shift of the relationship between the number of electrical field pulses and tachycardia in the rabbit isolated right atrium. Phentolamine was apparently acting as a presynaptic agonist on sympathetic nerve endings to inhibit transmitter release. The effect was prevented by benextramine treatment and antagonized 10 fold by yohimbine (1 microM) but not by prazosin (0.1 microM). In ganglion-blocked (mecamylamine) conscious or anaesthetized rabbits, phentolamine (3-1000 micrograms kg-1) caused a dose-related rise in blood pressure that was antagonized by yohimbine (1 mg kg-1). These pressor and inhibitory cardiac sympathetic nerve effects of phentolamine are not found in similar preparations from the guinea-pig or rat. Therefore, these rabbit-specific agonist effects of phentolamine at sites similar to alpha 2-adrenoceptors make this drug unsuitable as an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist in rabbits.
酚妥拉明(0.1 - 10微摩尔)使家兔离体右心房中电场刺激次数与心动过速之间的关系出现异常右移。酚妥拉明显然是作为交感神经末梢的突触前激动剂来抑制递质释放。苯苄胺处理可阻止该效应,育亨宾(1微摩尔)可使其作用拮抗10倍,但哌唑嗪(0.1微摩尔)则无此作用。在神经节阻断(美加明)的清醒或麻醉家兔中,酚妥拉明(3 - 1000微克/千克)可引起剂量相关的血压升高,育亨宾(1毫克/千克)可拮抗此作用。酚妥拉明的这些升压和抑制心脏交感神经的作用在豚鼠或大鼠的类似标本中未发现。因此,酚妥拉明在类似于α2 - 肾上腺素能受体部位的这些家兔特异性激动剂作用,使得该药不适于作为家兔的α - 肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂。
