Responses to dopamine were examined in the guinea-pig isolated lung parenchymal strip. Complete cumulative concentration-response curves to dopamine exhibited a biphasic pattern with a small initial contraction at concentrations below 10(-5) M followed by a dose-dependent relaxation at higher concentrations. Phentolamine (10(-5) M) completely abolished the contractile component and enhanced sensitivity and maximal relaxation to dopamine. In the presence of phentolamine, propranolol antagonized the dopamine-induced relaxation (pA2 = 8.54 +/- 0.07). In the presence of propranolol (10(-6) M), dopamine produced a dose-related contraction displaced to the right by phentolamine. Incubation with haloperidol (10(-5) M) did not modify the characteristics of the concentration-response curve to dopamine. Pretreatment with reserpine abolished the contraction to dopamine without affecting its relaxant response. Cocaine significantly increased the pD2 value of dopamine in the presence of propranolol. It is concluded that dopamine produced both relaxation of lung parenchymal strip due to direct activation of beta-adrenoceptors and contraction mediated through direct and indirect (catecholamine release) actions at alpha-adrenoceptors. There is no evidence in favour of the existence of specific dopamine-receptors in this preparation.
