  1. Chapter 18 Adrenergic Antagonists

  2. Adrenergic Antagonists • Cause direct blockade of adrenergic receptors • With one exception, all produce reversible (competitive) blockade • Most adrenergic antagonists are more selective than the adrenergic agonists. • Two major groups • Alpha-adrenergic blocking agents • Beta-adrenergic blocking agents

  3. Adrenergic Antagonists • Alpha-adrenergic antagonists I:therapeutic and adverse response to alpha blockade • Alpha-adrenergic antagonists II:properties of individual alpha blockers • Beta-adrenergic antagonists I:therapeutic and adverse responses to beta blockade • Beta-adrenergic antagonists II:properties of individual beta blockers

  4. Therapeutic Applications of Alpha Blockade • Essential hypertension • Lowers blood pressure by blocking alpha1 receptors on arterioles and veins, causing vasodilation • Reversal of toxicity from alpha1 agonists • Benign prostatic hyperplasia • Reduced contraction of smooth muscle in the bladder neck and prostatic capsule

  5. Therapeutic Applications of Alpha Blockade • Pheochromocytoma • Catecholamine-secreting tumor • Usually located in adrenal medulla • Principal cause of hypertension is usually activation of alpha1 receptors, but beta1 receptors can also contribute • Treatment: best option is surgery • Inoperable tumor: alpha1 antagonists suppress hypertension • Surgery: before surgery, manipulation of tumor can cause massive catecholamine release

  6. Therapeutic Applications of Alpha Blockade • Raynaud’s disease • Peripheral vascular disorder • Vasospasms in the toes and fingers • Suppress symptoms by preventing alpha-mediated vasoconstriction • Ineffective against other peripheral vascular disorders that involve inappropriate vasoconstriction

  7. Adverse Effects of Alpha1 Blockade • Detrimental effects result from blockade of alpha1 receptors • Effects from alpha2 receptors are minor • Orthostatic hypotension • Blockade of alpha receptors on veins • Reduced muscle tone in the venous wall • Upon standing, blood pools in the veins • Return of blood to the heart reduced • Cardiac output decreased: blood pressure drops

  8. Adverse Effects of Alpha1 Blockade • Reflex tachycardia • Reflex to increase heart rate via the autonomic nervous system (ANS) • Nasal congestion • Dilates the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa • Inhibition of ejaculation • Alpha1 activation required for ejaculation • Impotence is reversible; resolves when drug is discontinued • Sodium retention and increased blood volume • Reduced BP promotes renal retention of sodium and water • Usually combined with diuretic when used for hypertension

  9. Adverse Effects of Alpha2 Blockade • The most significant adverse effect associated with alpha2 blockade—potentiation of the reflex tachycardia

  10. Alpha-Adrenergic Antagonists II • Prazosin • Terazosin • Doxazosin • Tamsulosin • Alfuzosin • Phentolamine • Phenoxybenzamine

  11. Prazosin • Actions and uses • Pharmacokinetics • Adverse effects • Preparations, dosage, and administration

  12. Terazosin • Actions and uses • Pharmacokinetics • Adverse effects • Preparations, dosage, and administration

  13. Doxazosin • Actions and uses • Pharmacokinetics • Adverse effects • Preparations, dosage, and administration

  14. Tamsulosin • Actions and uses • Pharmacokinetics • Adverse effects • Drug interactions • Preparations, dosage, and administration

  15. Alfuzosin • Actions and uses • Pharmacokinetics • Adverse effects • Drug interactions • Preparations, dosage, and administration

  16. Phentolamine • Actions and uses • Adverse effects • Preparations, dosage, and administration

  17. Phenoxybenzamine • Actions and uses • Adverse effects • Preparations, dosage, and administration

  18. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists I • Therapeutic applications of beta blockade • Angina pectoris • Hypertension • Cardiac dysrhythmias • Myocardial infarction • Heart failure • Hyperthyroidism • Migraine • Stage fright • Pheochromocytoma • Glaucoma

  19. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists I • Adverse effects of beta blockade • Adverse effects involve both beta1 and beta2 blockade.

  20. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists I • Adverse effects of beta1 blockade • Bradycardia • Reduced cardiac output • Precipitation of heart failure • AV heart block • Rebound cardiac excitation

  21. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists I • Adverse effects of beta2 blockade • Bronchoconstriction • Inhibition of glycogenolysis

  22. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists II: Propranolol • Pharmacologic effects • Pharmacokinetics • Therapeutic uses • Adverse effects • Bradycardia • AV heart block • Heart failure • Rebound cardiac excitation

  23. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists II: Propranolol • Adverse effects (cont’d) • Bronchoconstriction • Inhibition of glycogenolysis • CNS effects • Precautions, warnings, and contraindications • Severe allergy • Diabetes • Cardiac, respiratory, and psychiatric disorders

  24. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists II: Propranolol • Drug interactions • Calcium channel blockers • Insulin • Preparations, dosage, and administration • General dosing considerations • Preparations • Dosage

  25. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists II: Metoprolol • Pharmacologic effects • Pharmacokinetics • Therapeutic uses • Adverse effects • Precautions, warnings, and contraindications • Preparations, dosage, and administration

  26. Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists II: Other Beta-Adrenergic Blockers • Receptor specificity: selective blockade • Pharmacokinetics • Therapeutic uses • Adverse effects • Intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (partial agonist activity) • Dosage and administration
