1. -adrenergic agonist. β1-Adrenergic receptor agonists, also known as beta-1 agonists, are a class of drugs that bind selectively to the β 1 -adrenergic receptor. As a result, they act more selectively upon the heart. β-Adrenoceptors typically bind to norepinephrine release by sympathetic adrenergic nerves and to circulating epinephrine.
Beta-adrenergic agonist. Beta adrenergic agonists or beta agonists are medications that relax muscles of the airways, causing widening of the airways and resulting in easier breathing. [ 1] They are a class of sympathomimetic agents, each acting upon the beta adrenoceptors. [ 2] In general, pure beta-adrenergic agonists have the opposite ...
Dobutamine is a direct-acting agent whose primary activity results from stimulation of the β 1-adrenoceptors of the heart, increasing contractility and cardiac output. Since it does not act on dopamine receptors to inhibit the release of norepinephrine (another α 1 agonist), dobutamine is less prone to induce hypertension than is dopamine.
Adrenergic agonist. An adrenergic agonist is a drug that stimulates a response from the adrenergic receptors. The five main categories of adrenergic receptors are: α 1, α 2, β 1, β 2, and β 3, although there are more subtypes, and agonists vary in specificity between these receptors, and may be classified respectively.
Beta-blockade of the β 1 receptor will inhibit cAMP from phosphorylating, and it will decrease the ionotrophic and chronotropic effect. Note that drugs may be cardioselective, or act on β 1 receptors in the heart only, but still have instrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Acebutolol (has intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, ISA) [80] Atenolol [80]
The beta-1 adrenergic receptor (β 1 adrenoceptor), also known as ADRB1, can refer to either the protein-encoding gene (gene ADRB1) or one of the four adrenergic receptors. [ 5] It is a G-protein coupled receptor associated with the Gs heterotrimeric G-protein that is expressed predominantly in cardiac tissue.
Adrenergic neuron blockers. Adrenergic neurone blockers, commonly known as adrenergic antagonists, are a group of drugs that inhibit the sympathetic nervous system by blocking the activity of adrenergic neurones. They prevent the action or release of catecholamines such as norepinephrine and epinephrine. They are located throughout the body ...
Alpha-adrenergic agonists are a class of sympathomimetic agents that selectively stimulates alpha adrenergic receptors. The alpha-adrenergic receptor has two subclasses α 1 and α 2. Alpha 2 receptors are associated with sympatholytic properties. Alpha-adrenergic agonists have the opposite function of alpha blockers.
