Adrenergic Pharmacology Flashcards
Classical Non-Selective Beta Blockers (first gen)
Nadolol (long half life) Penbutolol (high lipid solubule) Pindolol (intrinsic agonist activity - highest) Propanolol (high lipid solubility) Timolol (eye gtt)
Beta1 Selective Blockers (second gen)
Acebutelol Atenolol Bisoprolol Esmolol (ultra short half life - 10 mins) Metoprolol (mod lipid soluble)
Non-selective Beta blockers with additional actions (third gen)
Carteolol
Labetalol (SYSTEMIC - block alpha 1)
Carvedilol (SYSTEMIC - block alpha 1, block Ca2+ entry), mod lipid soluble)
Beta 1 Selective Blockers with additional actions (third gen)
Betaxolol
Celiprolol (not in US)
Nebivolol (long half life)
Beta Blocker Toxicity/SEs
Bradycardia
Mild sedation
Cold hands
Vivid dreams
Depression (esp. in high lipid soluble - blood/brain barrier)
Nonselective: can worse pre-existing asthma)
Depressed myocardial contractility/excitability
Non-Selective Alpha Antagonists
Phenoxybenzamine
Phentolamine
Selective Alpha 1 Antagonists
Prazosin Terazosin Doxazosin Alfuzosin Tamsulosin Indoramin Urapidil Bunazosin
Selective Alpha 2 Antagonists
Yohimbine
Mixed Acting Adrenergic Agonists
Ephedrine: indirectly releases NE + directly stimulates receptors
Direct acting selective Adrenergic Agonists
A1: phenylephrine
A2: clonidine
B1: Dobutamine
B2: Terbutaline
Direct acting NON selective adrenergic agonists
A1,A2: oxymetazoline
B1,B2: isoproterenol
A1,A2;B1,B2: epinephrine
A1,A2;B1: norepinephrine
Indirect Acting Adrenergic Agonists
Releasing agents: amphetamine, tyramine
Uptake inhibitor: cocaine
MOA inhibitors: selegiline
COMT inhibitors: entacapone
