Norepinephrine
Mechanisms of action - Adrenoreceptors of the adrenergic receptors are the alpha adrenoreceptors that are released into the synaptic cleft.
Metabolism - It's poorly bioavailable in the oral form, and it has a short duration of action (even when given intravenously; it lasts about 1 or 2 minutes) because norepinephrine is rapidly metabolized by both COMT and MAO.
Therapeutic uses - It's used to treat a variety of hypotensive crises because its activity raises blood pressure, and it's also used as a supplement to cardiac arrest treatment since its Beta- activity stimulates the heart. Because of the non-selective nature of its actions, it has limited therapeutic use.
Adverse reactions - When taking norepinephrine, some people experience dizziness or weakness. An upset stomach and anxiety are other possible side effects. Numbness, weakness, or a cold feeling around the injection site, slow or irregular heart rate, difficulties breathing, vision, speech, or balance disorders, spotted skin.

- Рrimаry оr seсоndаry аliрhаtiс аmine seраrated by twо саrbоns frоm а substituted benzene ring is essentiаl fоr the high аgоnist асtivity.
- For mаximаl direct асtivity, the hydrоxyl substituted cаrbоn must be in the R configuration.
Epinephrine
Mechanism of action - It attaches to adrenergic receptors, causing metabolic changes. It also interacts to a-adrenergic receptors, which alters metabolism.
Metabolism - Epinephrine is linked in the production of 35-adenosine monophosphate (C-AMP), a molecule that controls energy levels in effector cells.
Therapeutic uses - Epinephrine is used to treat the following conditions: bronchial asthma, hypersensitivity responses, heart block, cardiac arrest, and bleeding control. It's commonly used with lignocaine, a local anaesthetic.
Adverse reactions - Epinephrine can cause anxiety, tachycardia, palpitation, tremors, restlessness, headache, serious pulmonary edema, and others.

- The struсture саn be mоdified tо аlter binding. If the аmine is рrimаry оr seсоndаry, it will hаve direсt асtiоn, but if the аmine is tertiаry, it will hаve рооr direсt асtiоn. Аlsо, if the аmine hаs bulky substituents, then it will hаve greаter betа аdrenergiс reсeрtоr асtivity, but if the substituent is nоt bulky, then it will fаvоr the аlрhа аdrenergiс reсeрtоrs.
Phenylephrine
The lack of a p-OH group is the only distinction between phenylephrine and epinephrine.
Mechanism of action - It works as a selective agonist for the - receptor. It is a powerful vasoconstrictor, although not as strong as epinephrine.
Metabolism - It is metabolized by MAO (Monoamino-oxidose) and lacks the catechol moiety, hence it is not processed by COMT.
Synthesis -
Therapeutic uses - Severe hypotension can be treated with this medication.

A difference between NE and dopamine is the lack of 1-OH groups.
Mechanism of action - The natural catecholamine dopamine is produced in the CNS and serves as a neurotransmitter. Dopamine acts as an alpha-adrenergic vasoconstrictor, stimulating beta adrenoreceptors to help contract the myocardium. As a result, dopamine is a catecholamine that is unusual in that it has a mixed effect.
Metabolism - COMT and MAO metabolize dopamine quickly. End products differ from those of adrenaline and noradrenaline. They are eliminated by the kidneys in the form of urine.
Therapeutic actions - It is used to treat shock caused by trauma, surgery, or myocardial infarction, as well as congestive heart failure, renal failure, and liver failure.
Adverse reactions - Nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, and ectopic beats are all toxic consequences.

Only differs structurally from L-DOPA in the inclusion of an alpha - methyl group.
Mechanism of action - L-Aromatic Decarboxylase (AADC) is a natural enzyme that converts amino acids into carboxylic acids. Its mode of action, however, is not due to blockage of AADC, but rather to its conversion in the CNS to its active metabolite, a-methyl norepinephrine.
Metabolism - Dopamine B hydroxylase converts a-methyl dopamine from methyldopa to a-methyl norepinephrine via the enzyme AADC.
Therapeutic uses - Pre-eclampsia and hypertension can be treated with it.
Adverse reactions - Dizziness, agitation, dry mouth, migraine, and sedation are all possible side effects.

Mechanism of action - Clonidine can temporarily cause vasoconstriction when peripheral a-adrenergic receptors are stimulated. Stimulation of az-receptors causes a reduction in sympathetic outflow from the CNS, which leads to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure.
Clonidine
Mechanism of action - Clonidine can temporarily cause vasoconstriction when peripheral a-adrenergic receptors are stimulated. Stimulation of az-receptors causes a reduction in sympathetic outflow from the CNS, which leads to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure.
Metabolism - Less than half of an orally taken dosage is converted by the liver into inactive metabolites, with the other half eliminated unaltered by the kidneys. One-fifth of an oral dosage is not absorbed and is thus eliminated in the faeces. Clonidine's half-life varies substantially, with estimates ranging from 6 to 23 hours, and it is greatly altered and extended in the presence of impaired kidney function.
Therapeutic uses - Structured similarly to imidazoline nasal decongestants, which were first manufactured as vasoconstriction nasal decongestants but were later shown to have severe hypotensive effects.
SAR
- The heterocyclic imidazoline nucleus is usually connected to a substituted aromatic moiety through a bridging unit in imidazolines.
- Although imidazoline ring alteration often leads to molecules with markedly diminished agonistic activity,
- Open-ring imidazolines are very active.
- Typically, the best bridging unit (X) is a single amino methylene group.
- When the aromatic ring is replaced with halogen replacements like Cl or tiny alkyl groups like methyl, the antagonism is exacerbated, especially when they are put in the two ortho positions.
