Adrenergic Receptors

Bambuterol ((??)-Bambuterol; KWD-2183) is a long acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist (LABA) used in the treatment of asthma; it also is a prodrug of terbutaline.

Atenolol is a selective β1 receptor antagonist.

Practolol is a potent and selective β1-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Practolol can be used for the research of cardiac arrhythmias.

(R)-Propranolol hydrochloride is a less active enantiomer of the β-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol. Propranolol is a nonselective β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) antagonist, has high affinity for the β1AR and β2AR with Ki values of 1.8 nM and 0.8 nM, respectively.

Clenproperol is a β2-adrenergic agonist.

Higenamine (Norcoclaurine), a β2-AR agonist, is a key component of the Chinese herb aconite root that prescribes for treating symptoms of heart failure in the oriental Asian countries.

Carazolol is a non-specific β-adrenergic receptor blocking agent and binds to β receptors irreversibly.

Flutonidine is an alpha2-Adrenergic receptor agonist.

Talinolol is a beta(1)-adrenergic receptor antagonist and a probe drug for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity in humans.

Guanabenz (GBZ, GA, Wytensin, Wy-8678) is an orally active central alpha 2-adrenoceptor (α2 adrenergic receptor) agonist with antihypertensive action.
