adrenergics and antiadrenergics Flashcards
A drug that is non selective alpha adrenoceptor
oxymetazoline
A drug that is selective for alpha 1 adrenoceptor
phenylephrine
A drug that is selective for alpha 2 adrenoceptor
brimonidine
A drug that is selective for beta 3 adrenoceptor
mirabegron
A drug that is selective for beta 2 adrenoceptor
salbutamol (catechol)
terbutaline (non catechol)
A drug that is selective for beta 1 adrenoceptor
dobutamine
a non selective beta adrenoceptor drug
isoprenaline
non selective adrenoceptor drugs
adrenaline
norepinephrine
dopamine (a1 + b1)
indirect adrenergic agonists, that is a MAOA inhibitor
moclobemide
indirect adrenergic agonist, that is a NE reuptake inhibitor
imipramine (tricyclic antipressants)
reboxetine
indirect adrenergic agonist, that displaces endogenous NE
pseudoephedrine (decongestants)
ephedrine
direct adrenergic antagonist, specific for alpha 1 receptor
prazosin
tamsulosin
+most drugs with -(Z)osin
direct adrenergic antagonist, specific for alpha 2 autoreceptor
yohimbine (no longer in clinical use due to abuse as weight loss and impotence supplements)
direct adrenergic antagonist, nonspecific for alpha receptors
phenoxybenzamine (irreversible)
direct adrenergic agonist, nonselective beta 1/2
- timolol (low lipophilicity = less local anaesthetic like membrane stabilizing effect = allows for topical application to the eye = treats glaucoma)
- propranolol (lipophilic)
- sotalol
