    Abstract:
    We compared the effects of CL-316243, a selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor agonist, and CGP-12177A, a nonconventional partial beta-adrenoceptor agonist, on the KCl-induced contraction in the isolated canine ureter. CL-316243 concentration dependently relaxed the ureteral contraction, the pD(2) value being 7.75 +/- 0.11. This relaxation was competitively antagonized by the selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor antagonist SR58894A and by the nonselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist bupranolol, their pA(2) values being 7.08 +/- 0.08 and 6.43 +/- 0.09, respectively. CGP-12177A concentration dependently reduced the KCl-induced contraction, the pD(2) value being 6.30 +/- 0.25. Even at 1 x 10(-5) mol/l, CGP-20712A (a selective beta(1)- adrenoceptor antagonist) did not shift the concentration-response curves for CL-316243 or CGP-12177A. SR58894A did not induce a parallel rightward shift in the concentration-response curve for CGP-12177A, but bupranolol did produce such a shift, pA(2) and slope values in the Schild plot being 7.15 +/- 0.77 and 0.60 +/- 0.15, respectively. Hence, the competition characteristics for SR58894A and bupranolol differed between the CL- 316243-induced and CGP-12177A-induced relaxations. Our results suggest that CGP-12177A produces ureteral relaxation in the dog via an atypical beta-adrenoceptor (possibly, an atypical site/state of the beta(3)-adrenoceptor) as well as via the typical beta(3)-adrenoceptor.
