Popis: Intravenous administration of 2 new triazine antimalarials, BRL 50216 (clociguanil) and BRL 6231, to anesthetized dogs and cats revealed that both these agents had sympathomimetic actions. However, these actions differed for the 2 compounds for whereas BRL 6231 evoked sympathomimetic responses (rise in blood pressure and tachycardia) by catecholamine release, BRL 50216 appeared to have a direct effect on adrenoceptors. BRL 50216 showed some specificity for β-adrenoceptors, but was much less active than isoproterenol in producing cardiac stimulation. In addition to its sympathomimetic effects, BRL 50216 had a quinidinelike antiarrhythmic action. Although many antimalarials are known to possess antiarrhythmic activity, few, if any, have previously been reported to produce sympathomimetic effects.
