Effect of different drugs on the blood
pressure of anaesthetized rabbit
Normal Regulation of blood pressure (BP) :
BP = CO x PR
Systolic BP
Diastolic BP
Principle :
• Rabbit BP is measured from carotid artery of anaesthetized
rabbit and drugs are injected into jugular vein .
• Rabbit BP is measured from central ear artery of conscious
rabbit and drugs are injected into marginal ear vein .
Autonomic nervous system and BP:
Sympathetic nervous system :
- Increases BP .
- Increases heart rate .
Parasympathetic nervous system :
- Decreases BP .
- Decreases heart rate .
Sympathetic nervous system: Receptors
involved in BP regulation

Main Action
Agonist

α1
Vasoconstriction

β2
Vasodilatation
ISO>A>NA
- Propranolol
- butoxamine
Drugs affecting BP:
Sympathomimetics :
1- Adrenaline (3 mcg/kg)
MOA:
- On β1 R (in the heart)→st. Gs protein→↑Adenylyl cyclase
(AC)→↑cAMP→↑calcium influx→↑HR, force of contraction (+ve
inotropic & chronotropic) → ↑ systolic BP.
- On α1 R (in BV) → ++ PLC (IP3 & DAG)→↑calcium influx
→vasoconstriction →↑ PR→ ↑ diastolic BP.
- On β2 R (in BV) →st. Gs protein → ↑ cAMP-dependent protein
kinase → phosphorylates myosin light-chain kinase → relaxation of
smooth muscles → HYPOTENSION
Net effect: Biphasic change in BP
Sympathomimetics; cont.
2- Noradrenaline (1 mcg/kg)
MOA:
- It acts mainly on α1 R → VC & ↑PR (↑ diastolic BP) Reflex
- It has mild β1 stimulant effect → ↑CO (↑systolic BP)
bradycardia
(vagal nerve
stimulation)
Sympathomimetics; cont.
3- Isoprenaline :
- It is non-selective β agonist .
- It stimulates β1 in the heart →↑CO (weak effect) → ↑ systolic
BP .
- It stimulate β2 in the BV → ↓ PR (predominant effect) →
↓diastolic BP .
NET EFFECT: ↓ BP
Sympathomimetics; cont.
4- Clonidine:
- α2 agonist with mild α1effect used as antihypertensive agent .
- Should be taken orally not IV (Why) .
α receptors blockers :
Selective α 1 blockers:
e.g. prazosin, doxazocin .
Non-selective(α 1 & α 2) blockers :
e.g. Phentolamine (causes hypotension) .
Selective α 2 blocker :
e.g. Yohimbine (it increases the BP) .
N.B. α blockers reverse the action of Adrenaline & abolish the effect
of Noradrenaline .
Parasympathomimetic :
1- Acetylcholine :
Low dose (0.5 mcg/kg) acts on endothelial cells of BV to release NO
causing vasodilatation & ↓ PVR & BP .
Blocker: atropine .
N.B. high dose of Ach (50mcg/kg) increase the BP due to:
1- Stimulation of sympathetic ganglia→↑ NA release from
postganglionic fibers .
2- Stimulation of adrenal medulla →↑ A & NA release .
