1. The pK(i) value of bopindolol for alpha(1High)-subtypes in canine a
orta, rat hearts and rat brain was 5.71, 5.52 and 6.56, respectively,
In addition, the pK(i) values of these drugs in canine aorta, rat hear
ts and rat brain for the alpha(1Low)-subtype was very low. 2. The phen
ylephrine induced-contractions of aortae of guinea pigs and rats were
not inhibited by these agents. 3. Both bovine hearts and tracheal smoo
th muscles indicated that 18-502 had the highest pK(i) value to beta(1
)- and beta(2)-adrenoceptor subtypes and the rank order of these beta-
blocking potencies were 18-502 > bopindolol > 20-785.
