Vasodilation in muscle + Liver
Relaxation of uterine muscle // release of insulin
by
AGONISING –>
SYMPATHETIC/Adrenergic Receptors
- *BETA-ADRENERGIC AGONISTS**
- *-TEROL** / -TERENOL / Terbutaline
- *B2: Relaxes**
A1: Contracts minor
FROM:
EPINEPHRINE
Beta-Adrenergic Agents
Originate from what Endogenous Compound?
- *CATECHOLAMINES**
- *Epinephrine / Norepinephrine**
Only the R** **enantiomer = ACTIVE
What are the 3-point interactions for RECEPTOR BINDING
EPINEPHRINE
1) Para/Meta -OH
2) Beta -OH
3) -NHR
Metabolism:
MAO / COMT
Beta-Adrenergic Agent Parent Structure:
What is ESSENTIAL for BINDING?
- *1*_ or _2***
- *AMINO GROUP**
seperated by:
TWO CARBONS
Beta-Adrenergic Agent Parent Structure:
What INCREASES BETA-2 SELECTIVITY?
- *BULKY N-SUBSTITUENT**
- *N-Tertiary Butyl**
or
Aromatic MethylHydroxy Substitution
Beta-Adrenergic Agent Parent Structure:
What give PROTECTION from MAO?
LARGER AMINO SUBSTITUENT
- *Alpha Carbon Sub**
- but also decreases alpha/beta activity*
Beta-Adrenergic Agent Parent Structure:
What does a
ALPHA-CARBON SUBSTITUTION
do?
- DECREASED*
- *Alpha + Beta Activity**
- BUT*:
- *MAO PROTECTION**
- *= longer DOA (drug action) & Oral Bioavailability**
Beta-Adrenergic Agent Parent Structure:
What does the replacement of… do?
CATECHOL –> RESORCINOL
Protection from COMT
↑oral BioAvailability
What Drug?
- *ISOPROTERENOL**
- *Short-Acting B-adrenergic Agonist**
Catechol - Based
Isoproterenol
Drug Type / Metabolism / Disadvantages
SHORT ACTING - B2 Adrenergic Agent
Catechol-based
Most POTENT** **bronchodialator
Oxidation Labile –> BENZOCHINONE
- Disadvantages:*
- *Cardiac ADR** = NOT B2 specific
Which Drug?
ALBUTEROL** / **SALBUTAMOL
SHORT-ACTING- B2 Adrenergic Agents
N-Tertiary Butyl –> B2 Selectivity
Aromatic MethylHydroxy Substitution –> B2 Selectivity
Alpha Substitution –> MAO Protection
What Drug?
- *TERBUTALINE**
- *Short-Acting B2 Adrenergic Agonist**
Resocinol Based = No COMT Metabolism
N-Tertiary Butyl = ↑B2 Selectivity
- *Alpha Substitution = MAO PROTECTION**
- decreased Alpha&Beta Selectivity*
What Drug?
- *METAPROTERENOL**
- *Short-Acting B2 Adrenergic Agonist**
Resocinol Based = No COMT Metabolism
- *Alpha Substitution = MAO PROTECTION
- decreased Alpha&Beta Selectivity***
What are the SHORT ACTING
Beta-Adrenergic Agonists?
- *Isoproterenol**
0. 5-2 hours
Metaproterenol
3-4 hours
Tertbutaline / Pirbuterol
B2>B1 selectivity, 4-8 hours
Albuterol / Levalbuterol / Salbutamol
B2>B1 selectivity, 4-8 hours
What are the LONG ACTING
Beta Adrenergic Agonists?
All orally active –> not metabolized by BOTH COMT nor MAO
>12 hours
Salmeterol
long lipophylic side chain
Formoterol
prodrug
Bambuterol
prodrug
What are the ULTRA LONG ACTING
Beta-Adrenergic Agents?
INDACATEROL
Racemate, >24 hours
