Adrenergic agonist agents

Summary of adrenergic agonists. Agents marked with an asterisk ( ) are catecholamines. 

As noted above, g-adrenergic agonists such as epinephrine typically cause relaxation of smooth muscle. This agent... 

In contrast to this, there are no such structural constraints on a-adrenergic agonists or antagonists. Some of the most active a-sympathomimetic agents in fact contain an imidazoline moiety as part of the pharmacophore. The appropriate ring system can be... 

Agents that decrease catecholamines are used for the treatment of mania (e.g, DA antagonists and a2-adrenergic agonists).
