The interaction of the antihypertensive agent guanethidine and 2 aldehydes possessing sympathomimetic activity on the blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) was studied. Acetaldehyde, when administered i.v. to acutely guanethidine-pretreated (15 mg/kg) SHR under urethane anesthesia, caused a potentiated pressor response at 3-40 mg/kg. When administered i.v. to chronically guanethidine-pretreated SHR, a pressor response was noted at low doses and a depressor response at high doses. Acrolein (0.05-0.5 mg/kg) produced a pressor response at low doses and a depressor response at high doses in acutely and chronically guanethidine-pretreated SHR. Pressor responses, particularly to acetaldehyde, may have been due to an enlarged tyramine-releasable pool, hyperreactivity of .alpha.-adrenergic receptors of SHR or guanethidine inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake. Depressor responses to high doses of aldehydes may have been attributed to vagal stimulation or direct vasodilation. There was a significant interaction between the aldehydes and guanethidine, which may have implications for someone undergoing treatment with guanethidine for hypertension while being exposed to acetaldehyde and related compounds from ethanol and tobacco smoke.
