Adrenergic Receptor


The adrenergic receptors (or adrenoceptors) are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Epinephrine (adrenaline) reacts with both α- and β-adrenoreceptors, causing vasoconstriction and vasodilation, respectively. High levels of circulating epinephrine cause vasoconstriction. At lower levels of circulating epinephrine, β-adrenoreceptor stimulation dominates, producing vasodilation followed by decrease of peripheral vascular resistance.
Many cells possess these receptors, and the binding of a catecholamine to the receptor will generally stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the fight-or-flight response, which includes dilating the pupils, increasing heart rate, mobilizing energy, and diverting blood flow from non-essential organs to skeletal muscle. 

  • Silodosin EY2258

    Silodosin(Rapaflo) is an α1-adrenoceptor antagonist with high uroselectivity. Silodosin causes practically no orthostatic hypotension (in contrast to other α1 blockers). Since Silodosin is a highly selective inhibitor of the α1A adrenergic receptor, it causes practically no orthostatic hypotension (in contrast to other α1 blockers).
