Alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors were studied by measuring the binding of 3H-dihydroergocryptine and 3H-dihydroalprenolol, respectively, to membranes prepared from homogenized rabbit iris--ciliary bodies. The binding of 3H-dihydroergocryptine appears to be specific for alpha-adrenergic receptors, since adrenergic agents displace this radioligand with the following order of potency: phentolamine greater than epinephrine greater than or equal to norepinephrine greater than or equal to isoproterenol = propranolol. The binding of 3H-dihydroalprenolol appears to be specific for beta-adrenergic receptors, since adrenergic agents displace this radioligand with the following order of potency: propranolol greater than or equal to isoproterenol greater than or equal to epinephrine greater than norepinephrine greater than or equal to phentolamine. Clonidine and dopamine bind to the alpha-adrenergic receptor but have little activity at the beta-adrenergic receptor. Timolol, d-isoproterenol, and dipivalyl epinephrine bind to the beta-adrenergic receptor but have little activity at the alpha-adrenergic receptor. The results demonstrate that in vitro binding assays for alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors are useful for studying the mechanism of drug action.
