Overview

Beta-adrenergic agonists are adrenergic agonists which act upon the beta receptors.

β₁ agonists

Main article: Beta-1 adrenergic receptor § agonists

β₁ agonists: stimulates adenylyl cyclase activity; opening of calcium channel. (cardiac stimulants; used to treat cardiogenic shock, acute heart failure, bradyarrhythmias). Selected examples are:

• Dobutamine
• Isoproterenol (β₁ and β₂)

β₂ agonists

Main article: Beta-2 adrenergic receptor § agonists

β₂ agonists: stimulates adenylyl cyclase activity; closing of calcium channel (smooth muscle relaxants; used to treat asthma and COPD). Selected examples are:

• salbutamol (albuterol in USA)
• Fenoterol
• Formoterol
• Isoproterenol (β₁ and β₂)
• Metaproterenol
• Salmeterol
• Terbutaline
• Clenbuterol
