SR 59230A was used in the identification of β-adrenoceptors in rat aorta.3 It was tested as a potential therapeutic agent in improving cardiac function in rat model of heart failure.4
Biochem/physiol Actions
SR 59230A is a β3-adrenoceptor antagonist. It has high affinity for the β3 adrenoceptors occurring in human gut that affect the function of human colonic circular smooth muscle.1 It is reported that SR 59230A inhibits the Kir2.1-2.3 cardiac potassium channels.2

The role of beta 3-adrenoceptors in human colonic circular smooth muscle was assessed in vitro by use of the beta 3-selective antagonist SR 59230A. Isoprenaline, in the presence of the selective beta-adrenoceptor antagonists CGP 20712A (beta 1) and ICI 118551

Stimulation of the heart beta 3-adrenoceptor (AR) may result in a negative inotropic effect. Being up-regulated, beta 3-AR plays a more important role in the regulation of cardiac function during heart failure. However, the effect of chronic blocking of beta

Kir2.x channels form the molecular basis of cardiac I(K1) current and play a major role in cardiac electrophysiology. However, there is a substantial lack of selective Kir2 antagonists. We found the β(3)-adrenoceptor antagonist SR59230A to be an inhibitor of Kir2.x

Stress-related catecholamines have a role in cancer and β-adrenoceptors; specifically, β2 -adrenoceptors have been identified as new targets in treating melanoma. Recently, β3 -adrenoceptors have shown a pleiotropic effect on melanoma micro-environment leading to cancer progression. However, the mechanisms by

Understanding the mechanisms of immune tolerance is currently one of the most important challenges of scientific research. Pregnancy affects the immune system balance, leading the host to tolerate embryo alloantigens. Previous reports demonstrated that β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) signaling promotes immune
