The distribution of .beta.-adrenoceptor subtypes in guinea-pig airways was studied by radioligand binding assays and analysis of mechanical responses. Binding studies with the ligands [3H]-dihydroalprenolol and [125I]-cyanopindolol, revealed that .beta.-adrenoceptors were unevenly distributed throughout the airways with the highest density located in the parenchyma and the lowest density in the trachea. The relative proportion of .beta.1:.beta.2-adrenoceptor binding sites was assessed by computer-assisted analysis of the inhibition curves generated by selective agents. It was virtually identical in each region and in the other of 15:85%. .beta.-Adrenoceptor agonists caused concentration-dependent relaxations of both tracheal spirals and parenchymal lung strips. This response appeared to be mediated by both .beta.1- and .beta.2-adrenoceptors in tracheal spirals as the pA2 [competitive antagonistic acitivty] value for the .beta.1-selective antagonist, atenolol, varied depending upon which agonist was used, and, in the presence of the .beta.2-adrenoceptor antagonist ICI 118,551 [erythro-DL-1-(7-methylindan-4-yloxy)-3-isopropylamino-butan-2-ol], noradrenaline [norepinephrine] and isoprenaline produced biphasic concentration-effect curves. In parenchymal lung strips only the 1 subtype was involved as antagonist pA2 values were not dependent on the agonist used and the properties were consistent with those expected for a .beta.2-adrenoceptor.
