Treatment with soterenol (0.3–300 μg/kg, i.v.) increased the mean arterial blood pressure and decreased heart rate in rabbits. Soterenol caused a dose-dependent contraction of rabbit aorta and portal vein, guinea-pig vas deferens and cat nictitating membrane which was inhibited by phentolamine...detailed
Methanesulfonanilides, like soterenol and mesuprine, which are bioisosteric with adrenergic catecholamines, form fluorescent species when subjected to the trihydroxyindole reaction. Presumably, the fluorescence is due to adrenolutin‐like species formed from aminochrome intermediates. Fluorescen...detailed
