The beta-adrenoceptor blocking effects of the bopindolol (Wandonorm, CAS 62658-63-3) metabolites 18-502 (indole-2,4- methylaminopropoxy(N-tert.butyl)-tartrate) and 20-785 (indole-2,4-carboxyaminopropoxy(N-tert.butyl] were studied in electrically stimulated guinea-pig left atria and in spontaneously beating guinea-pig atria in vitro. Both compounds shifted the concentration-response curve of isoprenaline to the right, but did not reduce the maximum effect of this drug. For compound 20-785, pA2 values of 7.44 (left atrium, inotropic effect) and 7.58 (right atrium, chronotropic effect) were calculated. The metabolite 18-502 had a much greater beta-adrenoceptor blocking potency, as judged from its pA2 values of 9.53 and 9.48, resp., and in the concentration of 10(-8) mol/l it caused a significant flattening of the concentration-response curve of isoprenaline. From these results, compound 20-785 can be classified as a competitive beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, while for higher concentrations of the metabolite 18-502 additional noncompetitive mechanisms of action cannot be excluded.
