  • Title: Influence of alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockade and/or 5-HT1A agonism on blood pressure and heart rate at rest and during exercise in hypertensive dogs.
    Author: Grohs JG, Huber S, Fischer G, Raberger G.
    Journal: J Auton Pharmacol; 1992 Jun; 12(3):157-64. PubMed ID: 1352778.
    Abstract:
    1. Antihypertensive effects resulting from alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockade and stimulation of central nervous 5-HT1A receptors were compared with the effects arising from stimulation of 5-HT1A receptors alone during arterial hypertension. 2. Urapidil and 5-methyl-urapidil were less effective in decreasing arterial blood pressure than the lowest dose of the selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist, flesinoxan. After the higher dose of urapidil, a certain dampening of barareceptor reflex was found which was also seen with flesinoxan. 3. Flesinoxan was the only drug which did not reduce the exercise-induced increase in systolic arterial blood pressure. 4. Stimulation of 5-HT1A receptors alone, which is assumed to occur with flesinoxan, exerted antihypertensive activity only at low doses, without inducing reflex tachycardia at rest. 5. Only the combined effects of alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockade and 5-HT1A receptor stimulation, as assumed to occur with urapidil and 5-methyl-urapidil, lead to both a decrease in arterial blood pressure at rest and during exercise.
