The effects of dl-(3 ,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol (Arterenol) and its nitrogen alkyl homologs, methyl (dl-epinephrine), ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, sec-butyl, and ter-butylarterenol, have been determined with the usual pharmacological test objects, including man.
These agents have both excitatory and inhibitory actions, with arterenol and dl-epinephrine having the greatest excitatory activity, the ethyl some, and the others little; while the isopropyl, ter-butyl, and ethyl have the greatest inhibitory activity, the methyl some, and the others little, with arterenol very little or none.
