Adrenergic antagonist

Top

Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Wikipedia

An Adrenergic antagonist is a pharmaceutical substance that acts to inhibit the action of the adrenergic receptors. It is thus a type of sympatholytic.

It has the opposite effect as adrenergic agonists.

More specifically, they can be divided into:

Structure Activity Relationship

If the amine on the Adrenergic agent has a substituent bigger than a tertiary butyl, then the compound becomes an adrenergic antagonist.^[1]
