An assessment of beta‐adrenoceptor blockade in man by prizidilol hydrochloride.

Abstract: 1 Prizidilol hydrochloride (SK&F 92657) is a new compound which causes both arteriolar dilatation and ,/-adrenoceptor blockade. The effect of a single oral dose on the responses of heart rate and blood pressure to isoprenaline infusion has been studied in healthy volunteers.2 Isoprenaline heart rate dose-response curves showed parallel shifts to the right after oral prizidilol, indicating antagonism by this compound at ,3-adrenoceptors in the heart.3 Isoprenaline dose-response curves for decreases in diastolic… Show more

“…Oral administration of prizidilol hydrochloride at a dose of 5 mg/kg has significantly lowered systemic blood pressure without increasing standing heart rate (Bell et al, 1980). ,3-adrenoceptor curbing of isoprenaline induced rises in heart rate has been demonstrated following administration of a single oral dose of 200 mg prizidilol hydrochloride (Pitcher, Curry & Trounce, 1980). In contrast to these observations, intravenous infusion of prizidilol hydrochloride led to a significant rise in resting pulse rate.…”

“…Similar observations were made by Steiner et al (1981) and Bell et al (1979), although the latter demonstrated a significantly increased supine heart rate after 400 mg oral prizidilol. However, Pitcher et al (1982) heart rate after 200 mg oral prizidilol and concluded that this dose caused /3-adrenoceptor antagonism without the vasodilatation apparent at higher doses. Prizidilol therefore caused a significant reduction in blood pressure associated with an increased cardiac output and an unchanged heart rate.…”
