    Notes: Summary Experiments in cats with perfusion of the fourth and parts of the third cerebral ventricle gave the following results: 1. Perfusions with α-methyldopa, α-methyldopamine, α-methylnoradrenaline, noradrenaline, or tyramine produced a significant decrease of the systemic arterial blood pressure. A dose-response relationship of this effect was demonstrated with noradrenaline and α-methylnoradrenaline. 2. The blood pressure lowering effect of the amines was inhibited or abolished by perfusion with phentolamine or yohimbine. 3. The depressor effect of perfusions with tyramine was inhibited after addition of 2μg/ml cocaine to the perfusion fluid. Cocaine perfusion enhanced the depressor effect of α-methylnoradrenaline. 4. In the reserpine-pretreated cat the effect of tyramine was strongly inhibited. α-Methylnoradrenaline had no effect under these conditions. 5. Perfusions with angiotensin produced an increase of the peripheral blood pressure, while isoprenaline and propranolol showed no significant activity. 6. In the intact anaesthetized, as well as in the spinal, cat the intravenous pressor activities of noradrenaline and α-methylnoradrenaline were nearly identical. The response of the isolated aortic strip of the rat was somewhat more pronounced to α-methylnoradrenaline than to noradrenaline. 7. The results of these investigations are in favour of the hypothesis that in the brain stem an α-receptor mechanism exists, which is able to mediate a blood pressure decreasing effect of centrally applied catecholamines. The central hypotensive action of α-methyldopa may be explained by this mechanism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über eine Methode berichtet, die bei der Prüfung von Arzneimittelkombinationen die Bestimmung der biometrisch definierten relativen Kombinationswirksamkeit gestattet. Untersucht wurden an Ratten mit experimentellem renalen Hochdruck Kombinationen von antihypertensiv wirksamen Stoffen. Die Kombinationen α-Methyldopa-Guanacline und Reserpin-Guanacline wirkten signifikant überadditiv, die Kombination α-Methyldopa-Reserpin allenfalls additiv.
    Notes: Summary A new method is described which permits the determination of the biometrically defined relative combined activity of drug combinations. Combinations of substances with antihypertensive action were investigated on rats with experimental renal hypertension. The effects of the combinations α-methyldopa-guanacline and reserpine-guanacline were significantly more than additive, the effect of the combination α-methyldopa-reserpine was at most, additive.
