Metabolism of isoprenaline in dog and man.

1. The metabolism of isoprenaline has been studied in man and dog following intravenous and oral or intra-duodenal administration.2. Intravenous isoprenaline was excreted largely unchanged in urine in both species. Only one-third of the radioactivity in urine was in the form of the O-methyl metabolite.3. After oral doses in man or intraduodenal doses in dogs, plasma radioactivity was almost entirely as conjugated isoprenaline and this metabolite accounted for more than 80% of radioactivity in urine.4. Catechol-O-methyl transferase may be less important than Uptake(2) in limiting the pharmacological action of isoprenaline.5. Pharmacological response (heart-rate increase) was related to plasma concentration of isoprenaline only after rapid intravenous injections. In dogs, following prolonged infusion or intraduodenal doses, heart rate returned to base-line values when plasma concentrations of isoprenaline were high.

5-Hydroxyindole-secreting rectal carcinoid tumour.

A patient with a 5-hydroxyindole-secreting rectal carcinoid tumour is described, the second on record. There was no clinical evidence of carcinoid syndrome. Prostaglandin-like substances were isolated from hepatic metastases.
