... as an antagonist as well. In this perspective/opinion piece, we try to resolve the ambiguity that surrounds the efficacy of this compound by extensively reviewing the literature, tracing its beginnings to 1989, showing that CGP42112 has never been convincingly shown to be a partial agonist or an antagonist...

...Steven M. Frank; Nader El-Gamal; Srinivasa N. Raja; Peter K. Wu 1. Previous studies on the thermoregulatory effects of α-adrenoceptor antagonists have been performed primarily in animals and the findings have been inconsistent. There is evidence for thermoregulatory impairment by α-adrenergic...

...Steven M. Frank; Nader El-Gamal; Srinivasa N. Raja; Peter K. Wu; Osama Afifi 1. Although α-adrenoceptor antagonists have been shown to induce core hypothermia in animals, it is unclear whether the primary mechanism is increased heat loss or decreased heat production. Furthermore, studies have...

... as potent as Asp 1 -angiotensin II in elevating blood pressure but its aldosterone-stimulating activity was not higher than that of the naturally occurring peptide. 3. A specific competitive antagonist of angiotensin II, Sar 1 -Ile 8 -angiotensin II, blocked the pressor but not the aldosterone-stimulating...
