A STUDY ON BETA BLOCKERS - A BRIEF REVIEW TV. Namratha*, KC. Chaluvaraju and AM. Anushree Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Government College of Pharmacy, Bengaluru-560 027, Karnataka, India.

ABSTRACT Beta blockers are agents or which competitively inhibit the action of catecholamines at the beta receptors, which are mainly used to treat variety of clinical conditions like angina, hypertension, asthma, COPD and arrhythmias. These drugs are also useful in several other therapeutic situations including shock, premature labor and opioid withdrawal, and as adjuncts to general anesthetics. These drugs produce their effect by interacting with the beta adrenergic receptors. In the present communication, an effort has been made to compile beta adrenergic receptors and the chemistry, discovery and development, classification and therapeutic applications of beta blockers.

Keywords: Beta blockers, adrenergic receptors, catecholamines and aryloxypropanolamines.

1. INTRODUCTION Beta blockers were first developed by Sir 1.1 Adrenergic receptors James Black in 1962. The structures of The ability of a molecule to selectively these receptors have been studied by x- agonize or antagonize adrenergic ray crystallography.5 In the current article receptor made great advances in beta blockers are majorly focused with pharmacotherapeutics.
