• Effects of externally applied cyclic AMP and other adrenergic stimulants on the electrical and mechanical activities of the cat small intestine were observed by using pressure electrodes. The electrical and mechanical activities were suppressed by cyclic AMP and beta-stimulants. Those inhibitory actions of cyclic AMP and beta-stimulants were potentiated under the treatment with caffeine, theophylline and papaverine which inhibits the phosphodiesterase activity. On the other hand, the inhibitory action of cyclic AMP and beta-stimulants was decreased in imidazole, an agent that increases phosphodiesterase activity. Exogenous applied concanavalin A, an agent that inhibits the adenyl cyclase activity, showed no observable changes in both activities but the effects of beta-stimulants were decreased after treatment with concanavalin A. No obvious changes on both activities were obtained in cyclic GMP and dibutyryl cyclic GMP. These findings tentatively support the hypothesis that cyclic AMP is a second messenger in the inhibitory responses to beta-stimulants on the intestinal smooth muscle. However, it is also concluded that the inhibition of mechanical activity caused by cyclic AMP is partially due to suppression of the membrane activity.
