Inverse Agonism and Neutral Antagonism at alpha 1a- and alpha 1b-Adrenergic Receptor Subtypes

Olivier Rossier, Liliane Abuin, Francesca Fanelli, Amedeo Leonardi, and Susanna Cotecchia

Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Université de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland (O.R., L.A., S.C.); Department of Chemistry, Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy (F.F.); and Pharmaceutical R&D Division, Recordati S.p.A., Milan, Italy (A.L.)

We have characterized the pharmacological antagonism, i.e., neutral antagonism or inverse agonism, displayed by a number of alpha -blockers at two alpha 1-adrenergic receptor (AR) subtypes, alpha 1a- and alpha 1b-AR. Constitutively activating mutations were introduced into the alpha 1a-AR at the position homologous to A293 of the alpha 1b-AR where activating mutations were previously described. Twenty-four alpha -blockers differing in their chemical structures were initially tested for their effect on the agonist-independent inositol phosphate response mediated by the constitutively active A271E and A293E mutants expressed in COS-7 cells. A selected number of drugs also were tested for their effect on the small, but measurable spontaneous activity of the wild-type alpha 1a- and alpha 1b-AR expressed in COS-7 cells. The results of our study demonstrate that a large number of structurally different alpha -blockers display profound negative efficacy at both the alpha 1a- and alpha 1b-AR subtypes. For other drugs, the negative efficacy varied at the different constitutively active mutants. The most striking difference concerns a group of N-arylpiperazines, including 8-[2-[4-(5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-8-azaspiro[4,5] decane-7,9-dione (REC 15/3039), REC 15/2739, and REC 15/3011, which are inverse agonists with profound negative efficacy at the wild-type alpha 1b-AR, but not at the alpha 1a-AR.
