• Cardioselective (β1)• Metoprolol, Atenolol, Acebutolol, Bisoprolol, Esmolol, Betaxolol,
Celiprolol, Nebivolol
![Page 10: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Propranolol: A nonselective β antagonist
• Prototype β-adrenergic antagonist• Blocks both β1 and β2 receptors with equal affinity.
![Page 11: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cardiovascular effects of Propranolol
• Negative inotropic and chronotropic effects .• Directly depresses sinoatrial and atrioventricular
nodal activity. • Cardiac output, workload, and oxygen consumption
are decreased by blockade of β1 receptors.
![Page 12: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Vascular effects of Propranolol
• Peripheral vasoconstriction• Nonselective blockade of β receptors prevents β2-
mediated vasodilation in skeletal muscles, increasing peripheral vascular resistance.
![Page 14: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Effects of Propranolol on bronchial smooth muscle
• Bronchoconstriction• Blocking β2 receptors in the lungs causes contraction
of the bronchiolar smooth muscle.• β-blockers, particularly, nonselective ones, are
contraindicated in patients with COPD or asthma.
![Page 15: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Effects of Propranolol on glucose metabolism
• Disturbances in glucose metabolism• β blockade leads to decreased glycogenolysis and
decreased glucagon secretion.• Therefore, if propranolol is given to a diabetic patient
receiving insulin, careful monitoring of blood glucose is essential, because pronounced hypoglycemia may occur after insulin injection.
• β-blockers also attenuate the normal physiologic response to hypoglycemia.
![Page 16: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Therapeutic uses of Propranolol
• Hypertension: • Decreased cardiac output is the primary mechanism • Inhibition of renin release from the kidney.• Decrease in total peripheral resistance with long-
term use.
![Page 17: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Therapeutic uses of Propranolol
• Angina pectoris: • Propranolol decreases the oxygen requirement of
heart muscle and, therefore, is effective in reducing chest pain on exertion that is common in angina.
![Page 18: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Therapeutic uses of Propranolol
• Myocardial infarction: • Propranolol acts by decreasing oxygen requirment to
heart muscle.
![Page 19: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Therapeutic uses of Propranolol
• Migraine: mechanism of action unknown.
![Page 20: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Therapeutic uses of Propranolol
• Hyperthyroidism: • Propranol acts by blunting the widespread
sympathetic stimulation that occurs in hyperthyroidism.
![Page 21: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Adverse effects of Propranolol
• Tiredness and reduced exercise capacity: • Due to blunting of β2 mediated increase in blood
flow to the exercising muscles as well as attenuation of glycogenolysis and lipolysis.
![Page 22: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Adverse effects of Propranolol
• Bronchoconstriction: • Due to blockade of β2 receptors on smooth muscles
of bronchi. • Therefore, propranolol is contraindicated in patients
with COPD or asthma.
![Page 23: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Adverse effects of Propranolol
• Arrhythmias:• Treatment with β-blockers must never be stopped
abruptly because of the risk of precipitating cardiac arrhythmias, which may be severe.
![Page 24: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Adverse effects of Propranolol
• Sexual impairment:• The reasons for this are not clear and may be
independent of β receptor blockade.
![Page 25: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Adverse effects of Propranolol
• Metabolic disturbances:• β Blockade leads to decreased glycogenolysis and
decreased glucagon secretion. • Fasting hypoglycemia may occur. • The perception of symptoms of hypoglycemia such
as tremor, tachycardia, and nervousness are blunted by β-blockers.
![Page 26: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Adverse effects of Propranolol
• Metabolic disturbances:• Increased low density lipoprotein (“bad”cholesterol), • increased triglycerides, • reduced high-density lipoprotein (“good”cholesterol).

Nonselective β antagonists
• Timolol • Treatment of glaucoma• Topically applied timolol is effective in diminishing
intraocular pressure in glaucoma. • This occurs by decreasing the secretion of aqueous
humor by the ciliary body.
![Page 29: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Selective β1 antagonists
• Acebutolol, atenolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol, esmolol, metoprolol, and nebivolol.
• In contrast to propranolol, the cardioselective β-blockers have fewer effects on pulmonary function, peripheral resistance, and carbohydrate metabolism.
![Page 30: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Therapeutic uses: The cardioselective β-blockers
• Useful in hypertensive patients with impaired pulmonary function.
![Page 31: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Antagonists of both α and β adrenoceptors
• Labetalol and carvedilol:• Nonselective β-blockers with concurrent α1-blocking
actions that produce peripheral vasodilation, thereby reducing blood pressure.
• Uses:• Hypertensive emergencies, because it can rapidly
lower blood pressure.• Pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Question 1• A β-blocker was prescribed for hypertension in a female
asthma patient. After about a week of treatment, the asthma attacks got worse, and the patient was asked to stop taking the β-blocker. Which of the following β-blockers would you suggest as an alternative in this patient that is less likely to worsen her asthma?
• A. Propranolol.• B. Metoprolol.• C. Labetalol.• D. Carvedilol.
![Page 34: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Question 1• Correct answer = B. • The patient was most likely given a nonselective β-blocker
(antagonizes both β1 and β2 receptors) that made her asthma worse due to β2 antagonism.
• An alternative is to prescribe a cardioselective (antagonizes only β1) β-blocker that does not antagonize β2 receptors in the bronchioles.
• Metoprolol is a cardioselective β-blocker. • Propranolol, labetalol, and carvedilol are nonselective β-
blockers and could worsen the asthma.

Question 2
• Which of the following is correct regarding β-blockers?
• A. Treatment with β-blockers should not be stopped abruptly.
• B. Propranolol is a cardioselective β-blocker.• C. β-Blockers may cause orthostatic hypotension.• D. Cardioselective β-blockers worsen asthma.• E. β-Blockers decrease peripheral resistance by
causing vasorelaxation.

Question 3
• The therapeutic actions of β blockers such as propranolol in angina pectoris is believed to be primarily a result of
• A) reduced production of catecolamines• B) dilation of coronary vasculature• C) decreased requirment for myocardial oxygen• D) Increased peripheral resistance
![Page 38: Beta blockers Pharmacology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58829da11a28ab92618b56e1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Question 3
• Correct answer C• β blockers slows heart rate, reduce cardiac
contractility. • These hemodynamic actions decrease the
requirment of the heart for oxygen.
