beta-Adrenoceptors in the guinea pig taenia caecum were investigated by measuring relaxation responses to agonists and by a radioligand binding assay using [3H]CGP 12177. The rightward shift of the isoprenaline concentration-response curve was observed by butoxamine, a beta 2-selective antagonist, and the pA2 value for butoxamine was 6.46. In control preparations, catecholamines caused relaxation with the following rank order of potency: isoprenaline > adrenaline > noradrenaline. However, in the presence of 10(-6) M phentolamine, 3 x 10(-4) M atenolol and 10(-4) M butoxamine, the rank order of potency of the agonists was: isoprenaline > noradrenaline > adrenaline. CGP 12177 caused graded relaxation of the guinea pig taenia caecum, and this response was not influenced by 10(-6) M phentolamine, 3 x 10(-4) M atenolol, 10(-4) M butoxamine or 10(-6) M propranolol. The Scatchard plot of the specific [3H]CGP 12177 binding to microsomal fractions from the guinea pig taenia caecum showed two affinity sites of the receptor: high affinity (KD = 0.64 nM) and low affinity (KD = 142.21 nM) sites. The pKD value of the high affinity site of [3H]CGP 12177 was in agreement with its pA2 value, and that of the low affinity site was in agreement with its pD2 value. These results suggest that isoprenaline-, noradrenaline- and adrenaline-induced relaxations of the guinea pig taenia caecum predominantly involve beta 2- and beta 3-adrenoceptors, whereas CGP 12177-induced relaxation is mediated solely through beta 3-adrenoceptors.
