Description

Isopropyl analog of epinephrine; beta-sympathomimetic that acts on the heart, bronchi, skeletal muscle, alimentary tract, etc. It is used mainly as bronchodilator and heart stimulant. PubChem (source: Drug Bank)

Indication

For the treatment of mild or transient episodes of heart block that do not require electric shock or pacemaker therapy also used in management of asthma and chronic bronchitis (source: Drug Bank)

ATC Therapeutic Categories

  • C01CA:Adrenergic and dopaminergic agents
  • D08AX:Other antiseptics and disinfectants

Pharmacology, Interactions, and Contraindications

Mechanism Of Action

The pharmacologic effects of isoproterenol are at least in part attributable to stimulation through beta-adrenergic receptors of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic AMP. Increased cyclic AMP levels are associated with relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells. (source: Drug Bank)

Pharmacology

Isoproterenol is a relatively selective beta2-adrenergic bronchodilator. Isoproterenol is indicated for the relief of bronchospasm associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The pharmacologic effects of beta adrenergic agonist drugs, including Isoproterenol, are at least in part attributable to stimulation through beta adrenergic receptors of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic- 3',5'- adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP). Increased c-AMP levels are associated with relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells.

Curated Annotations (Curated Annotation)

  1. rs1042713 at chr5:148186633 in ADRB2
    In healthy subjects, the Arg16 variant was associated with enhanced isoproterenol-mediated desensitization of the vasculature and enhanced isoproterenol induced-venodilation, suggesting that it may be an important determinant of the vascular response to stress.
