The Concise Guide To Pharmacology 2021/22: G Protein-Coupled Receptors
The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22 is the fifth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of nearly 1900 human drug targets with an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands (www.guidetopharmacology.org), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties. Although the Concise Guide constitutes over 500 pages, the material presented is substantially reduced compared to information and links presented on the website. It provides a permanent, citable, point-in-time record that will s…

Adrenoceptors (version 2019.4) in the IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology Database
The nomenclature of the Adrenoceptors has been agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Adrenoceptors [58], see also [180]. Adrenoceptors, α1α1-Adrenoceptors are activated by the endogenous agonists (-)-adrenaline and (-)-noradrenaline. phenylephrine, methoxamine and cirazoline are agonists and prazosin and cirazoline antagonists considered selective for α1- relative to α2-adrenoceptors. [3H]prazosin and [125I]HEAT (BE2254) are relatively selective radioligands. S(+)-niguldipine also has high affinity for L-type Ca2+ channels. Fluorescent derivatives of prazosin (Bodipy PLprazosin- QAPB) are used to examine cellular localisation of α1-adrenoceptors. Selective α1-adrenoceptor agonists are use…
Adrenoceptors in GtoPdb v.2021.3
The nomenclature of the Adrenoceptors has been agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Adrenoceptors [60, 186]. Adrenoceptors, α1 The three α1-adrenoceptor subtypes α1A, α1B and α1D are activated by the endogenous agonists (-)-adrenaline and (-)-noradrenaline. -(-)phenylephrine, methoxamine and cirazoline are agonists and prazosin and doxazosin antagonists considered selective for α1- relative to α2-adrenoceptors. [3H]prazosin and [125I]HEAT (BE2254) are relatively selective radioligands. S(+)-niguldipine also has high affinity for L-type Ca2+ channels.
