The effect of the SNS can be blocked either by decreasing sympathetic outflow from the brain, suppressing release of NE from terminals or by blocking postsynaptic receptors.
Adrenergic antagonists reduce the effectiveness of sympathetic nerve stimulation and effects of exogenously applied agonists, such as Isoproterenol.

What are adrenergic What are adrenergic antagonistsantagonists
They are drugs that bind to adrenergic receptors but do not initiate the usual intracellular response
They are divided into 2 main subdivisions1. alpha blockers2. beta blockers In this chapter we will discuss alpha 2 agonist because
it reduce sympathetic nerve activity and are used to treat hypertension

ADRENERGIC BLOCKERSADRENERGIC BLOCKERSALPHA BLOCKERS
Alpha 1 Blockers Nonselective Alpha
BlockersDoxazosin Phenoxybenzamine Prazosin PhentolamineTerazosin Most alpha antagonists allow vasodilatation and thus,
decrease blood pressure( remember a-receptor activation results in vasoconstriction)
5
DRUGS AFFECTING NEUROTRANSMITTER UPTAKE OR RELEASE
CocaineGuanethidineReserpine
6
PhenoxybenzaminePhenoxybenzamine
Blocks alpha 1 and 2, irreversible blockade MOSTLY Noncompetitive inhibitor Actions - prevents Vaso-Constriction, induces a reflex
tachycardia Epinephrine reversal Therapeutic uses :
– Opposing catecholamines --pheochromocytoma– Causes vasodilation – Benign prostatic hypertrophy– Spinal cord injuries
7
SE:Postural hypotensionSexual dysfunction ( inhibit ejaculation)TachycardiaContraindicated in ↓ coronary perfusion.
8
PhentolaminePhentolamine
Alpha 1 and 2 blockerCompetitive inhibitorDuration of action lessUses & SE – mostly same as Phenoxybenzamine.
9
Alpha 1 specific blockersAlpha 1 specific blockersPrazosinTerazosinDoxazosin – long actingBlockade of alpha 1 adrenergic receptors on
vascular smooth muscle inhibits constriction of arterioles and veins. This results in decreased peripheral vascular resistance and lower blood pressure.
Blockade in bladder ( relaxation and decreased resistance to urine flow)

Actions ----- Dose ---- Uses -----
Side effects ----
CVS Avoid high doses HTN and prevention
of urinary retention in patients who have benign prostatic hypertrophy
Orthostatic hypotension
Nasal stuffiness Fatigue Sexual dysfunction

BETA BLOCKERSNon Selective Beta 1 selective
Blockers BlockersPropranolol Metoprolol Timolol AtenololNadolol Esmolol Acebutolol Betaxolol Labetalol - Both Alpha and Beta Blocker Beta 1receptors found in the heart and their activation
leads to an increase in HR and contractility . Beta 2 receptor are found in SM of the respiratory tract,
the uterus and blood vessels. Their activation leads to relaxation of SM

16
NON SELECTIVE BETA NON SELECTIVE BETA ANTAGONISTSANTAGONISTS
TIMOLOLNADOLOL → very long duration of action
Considered more potent than propranolol.
Same effects and SE as propranolol.

SELECTIVE BETA 1 SELECTIVE BETA 1 ANTAGONISTS (Cardioselective)ANTAGONISTS (Cardioselective)
ATENOLOLMETOPROLOLESMOLOL
USES – HTN,ANGINACAN BE USED IN COPD, Diabetics

ANTAGONISTS AND ANTAGONISTS AND PARTIAL AGONISTSPARTIAL AGONISTS
PINDOLOLACEBUTOLOLThey very mildly stimulate both beta 1 and
beta 2 adrenergic receptors.
USES : HTN with moderate bradycardia
19
ALPHA AND BETA ALPHA AND BETA BLOCKERBLOCKER
LABETALOL( non-selective)
Peripheral vasodilation -- ↓ B.PNo vasoconstrictive effectUSES : OLD AGE HTN, congestive heart
failureSE: Orthostatic hypotension and dizziness.

CYTOPLASM TO STORAGE VESICLE
USES -- ↓B.P. ↓ H.R
21
NT AFFECTING DRUGSNT AFFECTING DRUGSGUANETHIDINE
–BLOCKS RELEASE OF stored NE IN VESICLE TO MEMBRANE
USES—gradual lowering of B.P and H.R. in hypertensives
