2 Adrenergic Agonist Reversal Agents in the Horse DRUGS AND ANESTHESIA Review of Fatalities and Adverse Reactions After Administration of ␣-2 Adrenergic Agonist Reversal Agents in the Horse David B. Scofield, DVM; Dana L. Alexander, BS; Robert P. Franklin, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM; and Joseph J. Bertone, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVIM Elective reversal of ␣-2 adrenergic receptor agonist sedation with either tolazoline or yohimbine is not without serious risk of idiosyncratic and potentially fatal consequences in the horse; as evidenced by clinical reports of drug reaction and possible death resulting from administration of tolazoline or yohimbine to reverse the effects of ␣-2 agonist sedation for veterinary procedures in the horse.

  • Adrenoceptors Regulating Cholinergic Activity in the Guinea-Pig Ileum 1978) G.M

F'(O t.,," e reab- ,ellular PHARMACOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PRESYNAPTIC _-ADRENOCEPTORS REGULATING CHOLINERGIC ACTIVITY IN THE GUINEA-PIG ILEUM 1978) G.M. Departmentof Pharmacology,Allen and HzmburysResearchLimited, Ware, Hertfordshire,SG12 ODJ I The presynaptic ct-adrenoceptors located on the terminals of the cholinergic nerves of the guinea- pig myenteric plexus have been characterized according to their sensitivities to at-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists. 2 Electrical stimulation of the cholinergic nerves supplying the longitudinal muscle of the guinea-pig ! ileum caused a twitch response. Clonidine caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the twitch i response; the maximum inhibition obtained was 80 to 95_o of the twitch response. Oxymetazoline and xylazine were qualitatively similar to clonidine but were about 5 times less potent. Phenylephrine and methoxamine also inhibited the twitch response but were at least 10,000 times less potent than clonidine. 3 The twitch-inhibitory effects of clonidine, oxymetazoline and xylazine, but not those of phenyl- ephrine or methoxamine, were reversed by piperoxan (0.3 to 1.0 lag/ml). 4 Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) inhibited the twitch response, but also increased the basal tone of the ileum. Mepyramine prevented the increase in tone but did not affect the inhibitory action of LSD. Piperoxan or phentolamine only partially antagonized the inhibitory effect of LSD. 5 Phentolamine, yohimbine, piperoxan and tolazoline were potent, competitive antagonists of the inhibitory effect of clonidine with pA2 values of 8.51, 7.78, 7.64 and 6.57 respectively. 6 Thymoxamine was a weak antagonist of clonidine; it also antagonized the twitch-inhibitory effect of morphine.

  • Selection of Vasodilator Therapy for Severe Raynaud's Phenomenon by Sequential Arterial Infusion

Downloaded from Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 1985; 44, 151-154 Selection of vasodilator therapy for severe Raynaud's phenomenon by sequential arterial infusion I JON RUSSELL AND RICHARD A WALSH From the Department of Medicine, Divisions of Clinical Immunology and Cardiology, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, USA. SUMMARY Two young adults with impending gangrene due to persistent Raynaud's vasospasm were studied by sequential intra-arterial (IA) infusion of three vasodilatory drugs while arterial pressure and plethysmographic digital pulse volume were continuously monitored. The results of the IA infusion accurately predicted relief from vasospastic symptoms by oral drugs of the same class. This method may be useful in selecting the most effective vasodilator for patients with severe vasospasm. Key words: vasodilatation, tolazoline, hydralazine, diltiazem, phenoxybenzamine.

  • PRESYNAPTIC O-ADRENOCEPTORS REGULATING CHOLINERGIC ACTIVITY in the GUINEA-PIG ILEUM
    Br. J. Pharmac. (1978), 64, 293-300. PHARMACOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PRESYNAPTIC o-ADRENOCEPTORS REGULATING CHOLINERGIC ACTIVITY IN THE GUINEA-PIG ILEUM G.M. DREW Department of Pharmacology, Allen and Hanburys Research Limited, Ware, Hertfordshire, SG12 ODJ 1 The presynaptic ax-adrenoceptors located on the terminals of the cholinergic nerves of the guinea- pig myenteric plexus have been characterized according to their sensitivities to a-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists. 2 Electrical stimulation of the cholinergic nerves supplying the longitudinal muscle of the guinea-pig ileum caused a twitch response. Clonidine caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the twitch response; the maximum inhibition obtained was 80 to 95% of the twitch response. Oxymetazoline and xylazine were qualitatively similar to clonidine but were about 5 times less potent. Phenylephrine and methoxamine also inhibited the twitch response but were at least 10,000 times less potent than clonidine. 3 The twitch-inhibitory effects of clonidine, oxymetazoline and xylazine, but not those of phenyl- ephrine or methoxamine, were reversed by piperoxan (0.3 to 1.0 jg/ml). 4 Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) inhibited the twitch response, but also increased the basal tone of the ileum. Mepyramine prevented the increase in tone but did not affect the inhibitory action of LSD. Piperoxan or phentolamine only partially antagonized the inhibitory effect of LSD. 5 Phentolamine, yohimbine, piperoxan and tolazoline were potent, competitive antagonists of the inhibitory effect of clonidine with pA2 values of 8.51, 7.78, 7.64 and 6.57 respectively. 6 Thymoxamine was a weak antagonist of clonidine; it also antagonized the twitch-inhibitory effect of morphine.
