BETA BLOCKERS INHIBIT RESPONSES a. First generation (older, nonselective)-, MEDIATED THROUGH THE BETA RECEPTORS , , Propranolol introduced in 1963 was the first betablocker. b. Second generation (β1 selective)-metaprolol, , , , Since then drugs of this class have proliferated and diversified. c. Third generation(additional α blocking property and vasodilator property)- labetolol, carvidilol, Mechanism of action , 1. Reduction of adrenergic response mediated via β receptors. Need for improved beta blockers 2. Inhibition of renin release. Adverse effects of older agents 3. Inhibition of central nervous sympathetic 1. Bronchoconstriction. outflow,thereby inducing presynaptic blockade 2. Deliterious effects on lipid profile and insulin which in turn reduces the release of cathecholamines. sensitivity. 4. Reduction of venous return and plasma volume 3. No cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity 5. Newer agents - generation of and mortality benefits (Messerli et al, The life reducing PVR, attenuation of pressor response to study, The carlberg et al, The ASCOT BPLA trial). cathecholamines with exercise and stress. 4. No significant control. Classification of beta blockers Third generation beta blockers (, Labetolol, 1. Solubility based Nebivolol) – a. Hydrophilic (atenolol,carvidilol,nebivolol) Labetolol b. Lipophilic— highly soluble(prapranolol), 1. Nonselective beta blocker. moderately soluble(metaprolol and ) 2. But has additional α blocking activity. 2. Selectivity based 3. No significant effect on rate and cardiac a. Nonselective (β1 and β2) output. 1. Without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity - 4. Specific use in pheochromocytoma and PIH. propranolol, sotalol, timolol 5. Available in injectable form so widely used in 2. With intrinsic sympathomimetic activity- pindolol management of hypertensive emergencies. 3. With additional α blocking property- labetolol, 6. But increase incidence of respiratory distress carvedilol, nebivolol. syndrome, sepsis and seizures in infants of labetolol treated PIH. b. Cardioselective (β1) metaprolol, atenolol, acebutolol, bisoprolol, esmolol, , Carvedilol celiprolol, nebivolol 1. Non selective beta blocker. 3. Time research based classification 2. Additional α blocking activity. Table 1: Comparison of Conventional and Newer Beta 3. Limited effects on heart rate and cardiac contractility. Blockers 4. Used in LV dysfunction following MI.
