In papillary muscles isolated from reserpinized rabbits, positive inotropic responses to the alpha (alpha)-adrenergic agonist, (-)-phenylephrine in the presence of 10(7) M timolol and the beta (beta)-adrenergic agonist. (-)-isoproterenol were antagonized with the irreversible alpha-adrenergic antagonist, dibenamine, the irreversible beta-adrenergic antagonist. Ro 3-7894, and the calcium blocker, D-600. D-600 was employed as a functional antagonist of both alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor responses. Dissociation constants (Ka values) for drug-receptor interactions were calculated by the method of Furchgott and used to estimate fractional receptor occupancy and agonist efficacies. Comparison of responses showed that the receptor reserve for cardiac beta-adrenoceptors was greater than for alpha-adrenoceptors. D-600 was an effective inhibitor of both cardiac alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor responses; however, estimates of KA and receptor reserves were similar to estimates using an irreversible antagonist for alpha-but not beta-adrenoceptors.
