    Notes: Abstract  Previous reports on a series of benzoylthiophenes, including PD 81,723 {2-amino-4,5-dimethyl-3-(3-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl) thiophene}, have shown specific enhancement of agonist binding at the adenosine A1 receptor. We have studied the effects of two substituted benzoylthiophenes, PD 78,416 {thieno[2,3-c]pyridine-6(5H)-carboxylic acid, 2-amino-3-benzoyl-4,7-dihydro-ethyl ester} and RS-74513-000 {2-amino-4-ethyl-5-methyl-3-(3-trifluoro-methyl-benzoyl) thiophene} on response elicited by adenosine A1 receptors in isolated guinea pig left atrium and ileum. In the electrically paced left atrium, PD 78,416 antagonized negative inotropic effect elicited by the agonist CPA {N6-cyclopentyladenosine} with a pKB value of 6.2±0.2 (n=4) . At a low concentration which had no antagonistic effect (0.1 μM), PD 78,416 enhanced the effect of CPA. The concentration-response curve to CPA was shifted leftward by 5.1 fold (95% confidence limits 2.4–11.2). In field stimulated isolated ileum, PD 78,416 (0.1, 0.3, 1 μM) did not enhance or antagonize effects of CPA. At concentrations above 1 μM, PD 78,416 decreased electrically induced contraction. This effect was not sensitive to adenosine deaminase and was not antagonized by the A1 antagonist CPX {8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropyl-xanthine} (1 μM). Unlike PD 78,416, RS-74513-000 (0.01, 0.1, 1, 3, 10 μM) did not antagonize or enhance effects of CPA in the left atrium. However, effects of CPA in ileum were enhanced by RS-74513-000 (1 and 3 μM). Maximum enhancement was observed at 3 μM; the concentration-response curve to CPA was shifted leftward by 3.2 fold (95% confidence limits 2.4–4.2). Higher concentrations of RS-74513-000 (10 and 30 μM) decreased electrically induced contraction, this effect was not reversed by CPX. These findings confirmed that functional effects of A1 adenosine receptor may be enhanced by sub-stituted benzoylthiophenes in vitro. The differential effect of PD 78,416 and RS-74513-000 on cardiac and ileal A1 receptors suggests that it may be possible to design selective enhancers for cardiac and neural functions.

    Notes: Abstract Ixianthes retzioides is a rare, moderately sized, shrub with large yellow flowers that are lined with glandular trichomes. Preliminary analysis indicates that the trichomes secrete a complex mixture of lipids. Floral morphology suggests thatIxianthes should be pollinated by a large oil-collecting bee, yet only one possible candidate,Rediviva “gig”, is known and it occurs outside of the distributional range ofIxianthes. Despite observations ofIxianthes at different sites in different years, no oil-collecting bee has been observed visiting the flowers. This together with low fruit and seed set at the main study site suggests thatIxianthes has lost, at least locally, its specialized pollinator. Plants are self-compatible and set a limited amount of seed as a result of visits by pollen-collecting bees.

    Notes: Abstract Ixianthes retzioides is a rare South African shrub with large yellow oil-secreting flowers. Populations studied previously revealed low levels of reproductive success and the absence of a specialized oil-collecting pollinator. We report the discovery of a population in which the predicted specialist pollinator,Rediviva gigas, is present. The presence of this oil-collecting bee resulted in a mean fruit set per plant of 97.2 ± 8.3% (N = 9) and a mean seed set of 331.6 ± 162.6 (N = 52). This represents a 7.4-fold increase in fruit set and a 7.8-fold increase in seed set over a previously studied population lacking the specialist pollinator. The contrast between populations with and without the specialist pollinator dramatically illustrates the potential benefits and costs of specialization for pollination, respectively.
