The beta 3-adrenoceptor (beta 3-AR) agonist SR-58611A {ethyl-[(7s)-7-[[(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]5, 6,7,8-tetrahydronaphth-2-yl]oxyacetate hydrochloride} stimulated somatostatin and gastrin releases in isolated rat gastric antral epithelial cells. Stimulation was a concentration-dependent process with 50% effective concentrations of 2.7 +/- 1.1 and 3.8 +/- 1.9 nM compared with 209 +/- 71 and 230 +/- 51 nM for isoproterenol, respectively. It was inhibited by selective beta-AR antagonists with the following rank order of potency: SR-59230A 3-(2-ethylphenoxy)1-[(1S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth- 1-ylamino]-(2S)-2-propranol oxalate; beta 3-AR antagonist > ICI-118551[erythro-(+/-)-1-(7-methylindan-4-yloxy)-3- isopropylaminobutan-2-ol-hydrochloride; beta 2-AR antagonist > CGP-20712A[(+/-)-[2-(3-carbarmoyl-4-hydroxyphenoxy)-et hyl- amino]-3-[4 (1-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-2-imidazolyl)-phenoxy]- 2-propranol; beta 1-AR antagonist]. Furthermore, specific binding of 125I-cyanopindolol to the isolated cells was demonstrated and was displaced by the beta-AR antagonists according to the same rank order of potency and with apparent dissociation constants consistent with the 50% inhibitory concentrations for SR-58611A-stimulated somatostatin and gastrin releases. In addition, the presence of beta 3-AR mRNA was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. These findings provide the first evidence for a gastric beta 3-AR mediating catecholamine stimulation of gastrin and somatostatin releases from antral cells.

AU-461 (1-(2-methyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-4-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-6-beta,beta, beta-trifluoroethoxy-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline) was tested for its ability to act as an anti-ulcer agent. AU-461 inhibited gastric H(+)/K(+) ATPase activities with IC(50) values of 12.15 and 4.20 micromol/l for rabbit and pig enzymes, respectively. The inhibition was reversible, and competitive with respect to the activating cation K(+). When AU-461 was examined for the in vivo antisecretory activity, we found that AU-461 reduced the histamine-stimulated acid secretion as well as the basal secretion in rat stomach. Duration of the antisecretory effect was about 6 h upon oral administration. AU-461 prevented dose-dependently the ulcer formation produced by either ethanol or NaOH. This protective effect was not altered by indomethacin pretreatment. In addition, the elevated plasma gastrin by the oral administration of AU-461 was returned to control by 12 h. Taken together, these results suggest that AU-461 could be developed as a new therapeutic agent for peptic ulcer disease.
