The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that carry
messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the
body.
The Central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord and
The Peripheral nervous system is made up of the Somatic and the
Autonomic nervous systems.

Adrenergic Neurotransmitters:
Naturally occur in our body
Both Agents that activate adrenergic receptors are called Sympathomimetics
The agents that block the activation of adrenergic receptors are called
Sympatholytics
Adrenergic Neurotransmitters are 3 types
Collectively called catecholamines
1. Noradrenaline (NA) - at postganglionic sympathetic sites(except
sweat glands, hair follicles) & in certain areas of brain.
2. Adrenaline(Adr) - secreted by adrenal medulla
3. Dopamine(DA)- transmitter in basal ganglia, limbic system, CTZ,
anterior pituitary.

Steps in the synthesis of
Catecholamines (CAs)
- Synthesis of CAs
- Storage of CAs
- Release of CAs
- Uptake of CAs
- Metabolism of CAs

Biosynthesis of Catecholamine
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
Metabolism of neurotransmitter:
• Endogenous & exogenous catecholamines are metabolised mainly
by two enzymes, monoamine oxidase & catechol-O-methyl transferase
(COMT).
• MAO occurs within cells bound to surface membrane of mitochondria,
abundant in noradrenergic nerve terminals.
• COMT a widespread enzyme that occurs in both neuronal and nonneuronal
tissues, acts on both catecholamines & its deaminated products, produced by
action of MAO.
• Main final metabolite of adrenaline & noradrenaline is 3-methoxy-
4-hydroxymandelic acid (VMA).

Catabolism of Catecholamine
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
All belong to super family of G-protein-coupled receptors.
Adrenergic receptors are classified into two types
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
Adrenergic drugs are medications that stimulate certain nerves in your
body. They do this either by mimicking the action of the chemical
messengers epinephrine and norepinephrine or by stimulating their
release. These drugs are used in many life-threatening conditions, including
cardiac arrest, shock, asthma attack, or allergic reaction.
Sympathomimetic agents that partially or completely mimic the actions of
norepinephrine (NE) or Epinephrine (Epi).
They are also called as Sympathomimetic drugs / Adrenomimetic Drugs /
Adrenergic Agonist / Adrenoreceptor Agonists
Sympathomimetic drugs / Adrenergic Agonist
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
Classification of Sympathomimetic Drugs
They could be classified on two different basis
1) Chemical Classification
2) Based on the mechanism of Action
1. Chemical Classification:
They are chemically classified into two main categories
A) Catecholamines
B) Non-catecholamines
A) Catecholamines:
They contain catechol (3, 4-dihydroxy benzene ring) nucleus.
Exp: Nor-epinephrine, Epinephrine, Dopamine, Dobutamine, Isoproterenol
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
B) Non-catecholamines:
They do not contain catechol nucleus and have prolonged duration of action,
because they are not inactivated by COMT.
Exp: Ephedrine, Phenylephrine, Terbutaline, Oxymetazoline,
Pseudoephedrine, Clonidine, Amphetamine
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
2. Based on the mechanism of Action
Sympathomimetic Drugs
Direct acting:
Nor-epinephrine
Epinephrine
Phenylephrine
Dopamine
Methyldopa
Clonidine
Naphazoline
Oxymetazoline
Xylometazoline
Dobutamine
Isoproterenol
Terbutaline
Salbutamol
Bitolterol
Indirect acting agents:
Hydroxyamphetamine
Pseudoephedrine
Propylhexedrine
Mixed Agents:
Ephedrine

SAR of Adrenergic Agonists / β-phenylethylamines
/ Sympathomimetic Agents/ Arylethanolamines
1. Structure required for Activity
a) Phenyl Ethylamine as parent compound
b) Catechol or Aromatic Ring
c) β-carbon hydroxy & amino terminal
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
SAR of Sympathomimetic agents was studied by 3 different substituents
1. Phenyl Ring Substitution
2. Substitution at carbon in side chain
3. Substitution at nitrogen
1. Phenyl ring substitution
 3-hydroxy substitution is required for α - activity
 4-hydroxy substitution is required for β – activity
 3, 4 –dihydroxy substitution is required for both α & β - activity
 Replacement of catechol by resorcinol increases β2 selectivity and also
decreases metabolism by COMT and produce longer duration of action.
Exp:- Terbutaline
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
 Replacement of meta hydroxyl of catechol increases β2 selectivity and
decreases metabolism by COMT.
Exp:- Salbutamol
 Removal of para hydroxyl group from epinephrine produce selective α1
agonist.
Exp: - Phenylephrine
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
2. Substitution at carbon in side chain
Small alkyl group (methyl or ethyl) present at α carbon decreases the
metabolism by MAO (Mono amine oxidase )
 Ethyl group present at α carbon decreases the activity.
 OH (hydroxyl) group substitution on the β carbon is essential for activity.
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
3. Substitution at nitrogen
The nature of amino substituent determines α / β receptor selectivity.
As the size of alkyl group on nitrogen increases, activity at α-receptor
decreases and activity at β -receptor increases.
Exp:- Isoproterenol
 Primary & secondary amines have good adrenergic activity
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
SAR of Non-catecholamines:
1. Bridging Unit (X) :
Usually a single methylene group / amino group is essential for agonist
activity
Exp: - X = CH2 (α1 agonist) – Clonidine
= NH (α2 agonist ) – Oxymetazoline
2. Imidazoline rings are highly active α- agonist activity
3. Aromatic ring:
Agonist activity is enhanced when the aromatic ring is substituted with
halogen or small alkyl groups (methyl).
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in

copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
SAR of Beta Blockers / Adrenergic Antagonists /
Sympatholytic Agents/ Aryloxy Propanolamines
1. - OCH2 group is placed between the aromatic ring and ethanolamino
side chain, which is essential for the activity.
2. The hydroxyl bearing carbon of the aryloxy prpanolamine side chain
play critical role in the interaction of β-antagonist drugs with β-receptor.
copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
3. Alkyl Amino group is must be a secondary amine for optimal activity.
4. Isopropyl and t-butyl groups present on the amino group provides
nucleophilicity to the amino group. E.g: Atenolol
5. The two carbon chains are essential for activity.
6. N, N-disubstitution decreases the beta blocking activity.
7. The aromatic ring and it substituent is the primary determinant of β1
antagonist activity.
8. Alkenyl groups present in the ortho position on aryl ring gives good beta
antagonist activity. E.g: Oxprenolol, Alprenolol
9. Most of the derivatives have different aryl group like Phenyl,
Naphthalene & Indole. E.g: Atenolol, Propranolol & Pindolol

  • 10. Adrenergic drugs are medications that stimulate certain nerves in your body. They do this either by mimicking the action of the chemical messengers epinephrine and norepinephrine or by stimulating their release. These drugs are used in many life-threatening conditions, including cardiac arrest, shock, asthma attack, or allergic reaction. Sympathomimetic agents that partially or completely mimic the actions of norepinephrine (NE) or Epinephrine (Epi). They are also called as Sympathomimetic drugs / Adrenomimetic Drugs / Adrenergic Agonist / Adrenoreceptor Agonists Sympathomimetic drugs / Adrenergic Agonist copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
  • 11. Classification of Sympathomimetic Drugs They could be classified on two different basis 1) Chemical Classification 2) Based on the mechanism of Action 1. Chemical Classification: They are chemically classified into two main categories A) Catecholamines B) Non-catecholamines A) Catecholamines: They contain catechol (3, 4-dihydroxy benzene ring) nucleus. Exp: Nor-epinephrine, Epinephrine, Dopamine, Dobutamine, Isoproterenol copy right @ www.pharmawisdom.co.in
