The recovery of post- and extrasynaptic alpha 2-adrenergic receptor-binding sites was studied in vivo in male golden hamsters after treatment with an irreversible alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist benextramine, a tetramine disulfide that possesses a high affinity for alpha 2-binding sites.

Like phentolamine, benextramine increased the effect of high-voltage stimulation, presumably by blocking presynaptic alpha-adrenoceptors. 3 Clonidine reduced the effect of high-voltage stimulation, presumably by stimulating presynaptic alpha-adrenoceptors.

BHC was used to test the adrenoceptor interconversion hypothesis which claims that low temperature converts inotropic beta-adrenoceptors in rat atrium and frog ventricle to alpha-adrenoceptors.

The actions of benextramine, which blocks postjunctional alpha-adrenoceptors noncompetitively and irreversibly (non-equilibrium type) on prejunctional alpha-adrenoceptors (alpha 2) and postjunctional histamine H2 receptors, were studied in the mouse vas deferens, using clonidine and histamine, respectively, as the agonists.
