“The maximal relaxation induced by yohimbine in the human corpus cavernosum strips pre-contracted with phenylephrine was 100±0% and only 30.5±5.0% when they were pre-contracted with 60-mM potassium (K+) solution.”
“Both the alpha 1-selective agonist phenylephrine in the presence of yohimbine (0.3 microM, alpha 2-selective antagonist) and the alpha 2-selective agonist B-HT 933 in the presence of prazosin (0.3 microM, alpha 1-selective antagonist) evoked strong vasoconstriction.”

“4 The competitive and surmountable nature of the antagonism of phenylephrine‐induced contractions by prazosin and yohimbine allowed calculation of antagonist dissociation constants.”

“Both the alpha 1-selective agonist phenylephrine in the presence of 0.3 microM yohimbine and the alpha 2-selective agonist B-HT 933 in the presence of 0.3 microM prazosin elicited prominent and concentration-dependent contractions.”

“ Yohimbine induced a 3.1-fold (+/- 0.5) shift in the dose of epinephrine, which raised blood pressure 25 mm Hg, and only a 1.9-fold (+/- 0.2) shift in the response to phenylephrine (p less than 0.01).”
“ Yohimbine potently, but not selectively, antagonized postsynaptic responses to noradrenaline and phenylephrine in both arteries and veins, and enhanced stimulation-induced transmitter release to a greater extent in arteries than in veins.”
“However, the antagonist properties of rauwolscine and yohimbine (non-subtype selective alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonists) against phenylephrine showed that this agonist also activates alpha(2)-adrenoceptors in pulmonary veins.”

“Phentolamine (3.55 x 10(-5) M), prazosin (2.38 x 10(-5) M) and yohimbine (2.821 x 10(-5) M) significantly inhibited the aggregatory responses of the fish melanophores to adrenaline, nor-adrenaline, clonidine and phenylepherine.”
