Intracarotidal injection of beta-adrenergic blocking agents: variations in the carotid sinus baro- and chemoreceptor activity.

The intracarotidal injection of some bet-adrenergic blocking agents (dl-acebutolol, dl-, l-, d-alprenolol, dl-bunitrolol, dl-buthoxamine, dl-, l-, d-INPEA, dl-Ko 592, dl-metoprolol, dl-oxprenolol, dl-propranolol, dl-tolamolol) in anesthetized and bivagotomized dogs reduced the arterial blood pressure and the baro- and chemoreceptor activity. These effects seem to be mediated by an interaction with central nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory structures dependent on the carotid arteries and by a direct interference of these drugs with the carotid sinus baro- and chemoreceptor structures. Moreover, these effects were not a result of the beta-adrenolytic properties of the drugs.

Narcosis, blood glucose, plasma insulin and renin concentrations: experimental research with Althesin, thiopental and ketamine.

In the rat, narcotic doses of Althesin injected intraperitoneally did not modify blood glucose concentration nor plasma insulin concentration. On the contrary, a reduction of blood glucose concentration, associated with an increase of plasma insulin concentration was observed when narcotic doses of thiopental and ketamine were administered. Plasma renin concentrations decreased after injection of Althesin and thiopental but increased after injection of ketamine.

Interaction of H-2 and non-H-2 genes in spontaneous resistance to adenocarcinoma ADK-1t in F1 mice.

The genetic control of spontaneous resistance in vivo to increasing doses of a poorly immunogenic spontaneous adenocarcinoma (ADK-1t) of BALB/c origin was studied in F1 hybrid mice. The spontaneous resistance of homozygous parental BALB/c mice was not increased in F1 hybrids of BALB/c and BALB.B or BALB.K mice, even with small tumor challenges (10(3) cells). By contrast, it was significantly enhanced in F1 hybrids of BALB/c and several strains on A or B10 background. Resistance due to the acquisition of a new set of background genes was, however, markedly enhanced or suppressed by the presence of particular alleles located within or closely linked to the H-2 complex, as demonstrated by increasing the tumor challenge to 10(4) or 10 (5) cells. Spontaneous resistance, effective even with high tumor inocula, thus depended on a complex interplay between background and H-2 genes.

Derivatives of 1,2,3,3-tetramethyl-2-azabicyclo[2,2,2]octan-5-trans-ol with antiarrhythmic and other activities. V.

A series of N,N-dialkyl 5-trans-carbamoyloxy-1,2,3,3-tetramethyl-2-azabicyclo [2,2,2]octanes was prepared by reaction of 1,2,3,3-tetramethyl-2-azabicyclo [2,2,2]octan-5-trans-ol with phosgene, followed by aminolysis of the resulting chlorocarbonate with aliphatic secondary amines. 5-Chloro-1,2,3,3-tetramethyl-2-azabicyclo [2,2,2] octane (cis/trans mixture) was isolated as by-product of the reaction. A number of urethanes showed antiarrhythmic activity in guinea pigs and mice, as well as surface anesthesia in rabbits and infiltration anesthesia in mice, superior or similar to lidocaine. The circulatory, cardiac and respiratory effects in dogs and hens are also described.
