Beta adrenergic agonists or beta agonists are medications that relax muscles of the airways, causing widening of the airways and resulting in easier breathing. [1] They are a class of sympathomimetic agents, each acting upon the beta adrenoceptors . [ 2 ]
The adrenergic receptors or adrenoceptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of many catecholamines like norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) produced by the body, but also many medications like beta blockers, beta-2 (β 2) antagonists and alpha-2 (α 2) agonists, which are used to treat high ...
Beta 2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β 2 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that act on the β 2 adrenergic receptor. Like other β adrenergic agonists , they cause smooth muscle relaxation. β 2 adrenergic agonists' effects on smooth muscle cause dilation of bronchial passages , vasodilation in muscle and liver ...
The β 3 (beta 3) adrenergic receptor agonist or β 3-adrenoceptor agonist, also known as β 3-AR agonist, are a class of medicine that bind selectively to β 3-adrenergic receptors. β 3 -AR agonists for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes have been in developmental stages within many large pharmaceutical companies since the early ...
An adrenergic agonist is a drug that stimulates a response from the adrenergic receptors. The five main categories of adrenergic receptors are: α 1 , α 2 , β 1 , β 2 , and β 3 , although there are more subtypes, and agonists vary in specificity between these receptors, and may be classified respectively.

β 2-adrenoceptor agonists are a group of drugs that act selectively on β 2-receptors in the lungs causing bronchodilation. β 2-agonists are used to treat asthma and COPD, diseases that cause obstruction in the airways. Prior to their discovery, the non-selective beta-agonist isoprenaline was used.
