  2. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

    Beta blockers are competitive antagonists that block the receptor sites for the endogenous catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) on adrenergic beta receptors, of the sympathetic nervous system, which mediates the fight-or-flight response.

  3. Discovery and development of beta-blockers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

    β adrenergic receptor antagonists (also called beta-blockers or β-blockers) were initially developed in the 1960s, for the treatment of angina pectoris but are now also used for hypertension, congestive heart failure and certain arrhythmias.

  4. Discovery and development of beta2 agonists - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

    Discovery and development of beta2 agonists. β 2 -adrenoceptor agonists are a group of drugs that act selectively on β 2 -receptors in the lungs causing bronchodilation. β 2 -agonists are used to treat asthma and COPD, diseases that cause obstruction in the airways. Prior to their discovery, the non-selective beta-agonist isoprenaline was used.

  5. Metoprolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metoprolol

    Metoprolol is a beta blocker, or an antagonist of the β-adrenergic receptors. It is specifically a selective antagonist of the β 1-adrenergic receptor and has no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Metoprolol exerts its effects by blocking the action of certain neurotransmitters, specifically adrenaline and noradrenaline.

  6. Propranolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propranolol

    It is a non-selective beta blocker which works by blocking β-adrenergic receptors. Propranolol was patented in 1962 and approved for medical use in 1964. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Propranolol is available as a generic medication.

  7. Atenolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atenolol

    Atenolol is a beta blocker medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure and heart-associated chest pain. Atenolol, however, does not seem to improve mortality in those with high blood pressure. Other uses include the prevention of migraines and treatment of certain irregular heart beats.

  8. Carvedilol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carvedilol

    Carvedilol is a nonselective beta blocker and alpha-1 blocker. How it improves outcomes is not entirely clear but may involve dilation of blood vessels. Carvedilol was patented in 1978 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1995. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.

  9. Sotalol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotalol

    Beta-blocker action. Sotalol is a beta blocker and non-selectively binds to both β 1-and β 2-adrenergic receptors preventing activation of the receptors by their stimulatory ligand (catecholamines). It has no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.

  10. Nebivolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebivolol

    Nebivolol is a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. As with other β-blockers, it is generally a less preferred treatment for high blood pressure. It may be used by itself or with other blood pressure medication. It is taken by mouth. Common side effects include dizziness, feeling tired, nausea, and headaches.

  11. Adrenergic antagonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_antagonist

    An adrenergic antagonist is a drug that inhibits the function of adrenergic receptors. There are five adrenergic receptors, which are divided into two groups. The first group of receptors are the beta (β) adrenergic receptors. There are β 1, β 2, and β 3 receptors. The second group contains the alpha (α) adrenoreceptors.
