Isoprenaline, also known as isoproterenol and sold under the brand name Isuprel among others, is a sympathomimetic medication which is used in the treatment of acute bradycardia (slow heart rate), heart block, and rarely for asthma, among other indications. [9] It is used by injection into a vein, muscle, fat, or the heart, by inhalation, and in the past under the tongue or into the rectum. [3] [4]

Contents

Side effects of isoprenaline include rapid heart beat, heart palpitations, and arrhythmias, among others. [9] Isoprenaline is a selective agonist of the β-adrenergic receptors, including both the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors. [9] By activating these receptors, it increases heart rate and the force of heart contractions. [10] Chemically, isoprenaline is a synthetic catecholamine and is the N-isopropyl analogue of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). [11] [3] [12] [13]

Isoprenaline was one of the first synthetic sympathomimetic amines and was the first selective β-adrenergic receptor agonist. [7] [14] The medication was discovered in 1940 [5] and was introduced for medical use in 1947. [15]

Medical uses

Isoprenaline is used to treat heart block and episodes of Adams–Stokes syndrome that are not caused by ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, in emergencies for cardiac arrest until electric shock can be administered, for bronchospasm occurring during anesthesia, and as an adjunct in the treatment of hypovolemic shock, septic shock, low cardiac output (hypoperfusion) states, congestive heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. [9] It is also used to prevent Torsades de Pointes in patients with long QT refractory to magnesium and to treat patients with intermittent Torsades de Pointes refractory to treatment with magnesium. [16] Isoprenaline is used in the acute management of bradycardia, though not in the chronic treatment of bradycardia. [17]

Historically, it was used to treat asthma via metered aerosol or nebulizing devices; it was also available in sublingual, oral, intravenous, and intramuscular formulations. [15] The U.S. National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Expert Panel recommends against its use as a nebulizer for acute bronchoconstriction. [18]

Available forms

Many formulations of isoprenaline appear to have been discontinued in the United States and many other countries. [4] [1] [2] [3] In the United States, it remains available only as an injectable solution. [4] It was previously also available in the United States as a solution, metered aerosol, powder, or disc for inhalation and as a tablet for sublingual and rectal administration, but these formulations were discontinued. [4]

Contraindications

It should not be used in people with tachyarrhythmias (except in special circumstances), [19] tachycardia or heart block caused by digitalis poisoning, ventricular arrhythmias which require inotropic therapy, or with angina. [9]

Side effects

Side effects of isoprenaline may include nervousness, headache, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, tachycardia, palpitations, angina, Adams-Stokes attacks, pulmonary edema, hypertension, hypotension, ventricular arrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, difficulty breathing, sweating, mild tremors, weakness, flushing, and pallor. [9] Isoprenaline has been reported to cause insulin resistance leading to diabetic ketoacidosis. [20]

Overdose

Overdose of isoprenaline may produce effects including tachycardia, arrhythmias, palpitations, angina, hypotension, hypertension, and myocardial necrosis. [3] [9]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

Isoprenaline is a β1- and β2-adrenergic receptor full agonist and has almost no activity at the α-adrenergic receptors at lower concentrations. [15] [21] It has similar affinity for the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors. [21] [8] At higher concentrations, isoprenaline can also evoke responses mediated by α-adrenergic receptors. [8] [22] [23] Its agonist effects at the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) additionally provide it with pharmacodynamic effects that resemble those of the endogenous trace amines, like tyramine. [24]

Isoprenaline's effects on the cardiovascular system (non-selective) relate to its actions on cardiac β1-adrenergic receptors and β2-adrenergic receptors on smooth muscle within the tunica media of arterioles. Isoprenaline has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart. β2-Adrenergic receptor stimulation in arteriolar smooth muscle induces vasodilation. Its inotropic and chronotropic effects elevate systolic blood pressure, while its vasodilatory effects tend to lower diastolic blood pressure. The overall effect is to decrease mean arterial pressure due to the vasodilation caused by β2-adrenergic receptor activation. [25]

The isopropylamine group in isoprenaline makes it selective for β-adrenergic receptors. [26]

The adverse effects of isoprenaline are also related to the drug's cardiovascular effects. Isoprenaline can produce tachycardia (an elevated heart rate), which predisposes people who take it to cardiac arrhythmias. [15]

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

Data on the absorption of isoprenaline are limited. [3] Oral isoprenaline is well-absorbed but is subject to strong first-pass metabolism [27] and is approximately 1,000 times less potent than intravenous administration. [6] Hence, its oral bioavailability is very low. [5] [6] Another study suggested that its oral bioavailability, based on pharmacodynamic activity via different routes, was slightly less than 4%. [27] [28]

Distribution

Isoprenaline is minimally able to cross the blood–brain barrier and hence is a peripherally selective drug. [29] [30] This is attributed to its high hydrophilicity. [29] Whereas the extraction of isoprenaline in a single passage of the brain circulation following intravenous injection in humans was 3.8%, the extraction of propranolol, which is a more lipophilic compound and is readily able to cross into the brain, was 63.0%. [29]

The plasma protein binding of isoprenaline is 68.8 ± 1.2%. [3] It is bound mainly to albumin. [3]

Metabolism

Isoprenaline is metabolized by catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) and conjugation by sulfation. [7] [31] [32] [3] It does not appear to be glucuronidated. [7] There is very large interindividual variability in the sulfation of isoprenaline. [7] The free catechol hydroxyl groups keep it susceptible to enzymatic metabolism. [26] The drug is a poor substrate for monoamine oxidase (MAO) and is not metabolized by this enzyme. [7] [9] This is in contrast to epinephrine and norepinephrine. [7] Isoprenaline is much more strongly metabolized and conjugated with oral administration than with intravenous administration. [6] Its metabolite 3-O-methylisoprenaline, formed by COMT, is active as a weak β-adrenergic receptor antagonist. [7]

Elimination

Isoprenaline is excreted primarily in the urine, as sulfate conjugates. [7] [31] [32] [3] It is excreted 59 to 107% in urine and 12 to 27% in feces. [3] A majority of isoprenaline is excreted in urine in conjugated form, whereas 6.5 to 16.2% is excreted as unchanged isoprenaline and 2.6 to 11.4% is excreted as 3-O-methylisoprenaline and conjugates. [3] [6]

The elimination half-life of isoprenaline by intravenous administration is approximately 2.5 to 5 minutes. [3] Its half-life with oral administration is approximately 40 minutes. [3] [6]

Chemistry

Isoprenaline, also known as N-isopropyl-3,4,β-trihydroxyphenethylamine or as N-isopropylnorepinephrine, is a substituted phenethylamine and synthetic catecholamine derivative. [11] [3] [12] [9] It is the N-isopropyl analogue of norepinephrine (3,4,β-trihydroxyphenethylamine) and epinephrine (3,4,β-trihydroxy-N-methylphenethylamine). [11] [13]

Isoprenaline is a small-molecule compound with the molecular formula C11H17NO3 and a molecular weight of 211.26 g/mol. [11] [3] [12] [9] It is a hydrophilic compound [29] with a predicted log P of -0.6 to 0.25. [11] [3] [12] For comparison, the experimental log P values of epinephrine and norepinephrine are -1.37 and -1.24, respectively. [33] [34]

Isoprenaline is used pharmaceutically as the hydrochloride and sulfate salts. [1] It is also used to a much lesser extent as the free base. [1]

Isoprenaline is a racemic mixture of levorotatory and dextrorotatory enantiomers. [11] [3] [12] The levorotatory or (R)-enantiomer of isoprenaline is known as levisoprenaline (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name) but was never marketed. [35] [36] [37]

Synthetic analogues closely related to isoprenaline include arbutamine, dichloroisoprenaline (dichloroisoproterenol), hexoprenaline, isoetharine (α-ethylisoprenaline), orciprenaline (metaproterenol; a positional isomer of isoprenaline), prenalterol, and soterenol (3-methanesulfonamidylisoprenaline), among others. [5]

History

Isoprenaline was discovered in 1940 [5] and was developed in the 1940s. [7] It was first approved for medical use in 1947 in the United States. [15] Isoprenaline was one of the first synthetic sympathomimetic amines, was the first selective β-adrenergic receptor agonist, and was the first major sympathomimetic agent devoid of pressor effects. [7] [14]

Between 1963 and 1968 in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand there was an increase in deaths among people using isoprenaline to treat asthma. This was attributed to unintentional overdose: the inhalers produced in that area were dispensing five times the dosage dispensed by inhalers produced in the United States and Canada, where the deaths were not observed. [38] [39]

The short duration of action and poor oral activity of isoprenaline led to the development of the much longer-acting and orally active orciprenaline (metaproterenol). [40] [7]

Society and culture

Names

Isoprenaline is the major generic name of the drug and its INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name, BAN Tooltip British Approved Name, and DCF Tooltip Dénomination Commune Française. [35] [1] [36] [2] Isoprenalina is its Italian generic name and its DCIT Tooltip Denominazione Comune Italiana. [1] [2] Isoprenaline hydrochloride and isoprenaline sulfate are its BANM Tooltip British Approved Name in the case of the hydrochloride and sulfate salts, respectively. [1] Isoproterenol is another important synonym of the drug. [35] [1] [2] Isoproterenol hydrochloride is its USAN Tooltip United States Adopted Name and JAN Tooltip Japanese Accepted Name in the case of the hydrochloride salt and isoproterenol sulfate is its USAN and JAN in the case of the sulfate salt. [35] [1] [36] [2] Other synonyms of the drug include isopropylnorepinephrine, isopropylnoradrenaline, and isopropydine. [35] [1] [36] [2] It is additionally known by the former developmental code name WIN-5162. [1] [2]

Isoprenaline has been marketed under many brand names worldwide. [1] [2] These include Aleudrina, Asthpul, Iludrin, Iprenol, Isomenyl, Isuprel, Isoprenaline, Isoprenalina, Isoproterenol, Neo-Epinine, Neodrenal, Proternol, and Saventrine, among others. [1] [2] It is also marketed as a combination drug with cromoglicic acid as Frenal Compositum, in combination with pronase as Isopal P, and in combination with atropine as Stmerin D. [2]

It can be taken by mouth, as a nasal spray, given by injection into a vein or muscle, applied to the skin, or as a rectal suppository.

An adrenergic agonist is a drug that stimulates a response from the adrenergic receptors. The five main categories of adrenergic receptors are: α1, α2, β1, β2, and β3, although there are more subtypes, and agonists vary in specificity between these receptors, and may be classified respectively. However, there are also other mechanisms of adrenergic agonism. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are endogenous and broad-spectrum. More selective agonists are more useful in pharmacology.

Beta<sub>2</sub>-adrenergic agonist Compounds that bind to and activate adrenergic beta-2 receptors

Beta2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β2 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that act on the β2 adrenergic receptor. Like other β adrenergic agonists, they cause smooth muscle relaxation. β2 adrenergic agonists' effects on smooth muscle cause dilation of bronchial passages, vasodilation in muscle and liver, relaxation of uterine muscle, and release of insulin. They are primarily used to treat asthma and other pulmonary disorders. Bronchodilators are considered an important treatment regime for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and are usually used in combination with short acting medications and long acting medications in a combined inhaler.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Beta-adrenergic agonist</span> Medications that relax muscles of the airways

Beta adrenergic agonists or beta agonists are medications that relax muscles of the airways, causing widening of the airways and resulting in easier breathing. They are a class of sympathomimetic agents, each acting upon the beta adrenoceptors. In general, pure beta-adrenergic agonists have the opposite function of beta blockers: beta-adrenoreceptor agonist ligands mimic the actions of both epinephrine- and norepinephrine- signaling, in the heart and lungs, and in smooth muscle tissue; epinephrine expresses the higher affinity. The activation of β1, β2 and β3 activates the enzyme, adenylate cyclase. This, in turn, leads to the activation of the secondary messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP); cAMP then activates protein kinase A (PKA) which phosphorylates target proteins, ultimately inducing smooth muscle relaxation and contraction of the cardiac tissue.

β1-Adrenergic receptor agonists, also known as beta-1 agonists, are a class of drugs that bind selectively to the β1-adrenergic receptor. As a result, they act more selectively upon the heart. β-Adrenoceptors typically bind to norepinephrine release by sympathetic adrenergic nerves and to circulating epinephrine. The effect of β-adrenoceptors is cardiac stimulation, such as increased heart rate, heart contractility, heart conduction velocity, and heart relaxation.

Phenylethanolamine, or β-hydroxyphenethylamine, is a trace amine with a structure similar to those of other trace phenethylamines as well as the catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. As an organic compound, phenylethanolamine is a β-hydroxylated phenethylamine that is also structurally related to a number of synthetic drugs in the substituted phenethylamine class. In common with these compounds, phenylethanolamine has strong cardiovascular activity and, under the name Apophedrin, has been used as a drug to produce topical vasoconstriction.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Olodaterol</span> Chemical compound

Olodaterol is an ultra-long-acting β adrenoreceptor agonist (ultra-LABA) used as an inhalation for treating people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim.

β2-adrenoceptor agonists are a group of drugs that act selectively on β2-receptors in the lungs causing bronchodilation. β2-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. The aim of the drug development through the years has been to minimise side effects, achieve selectivity and longer duration of action. The mechanism of action is well understood and has facilitated the development. The structure of the binding site and the nature of the binding is also well known, as is the structure activity relationship.

Peripherally selective drugs have their primary mechanism of action outside of the central nervous system (CNS), usually because they are excluded from the CNS by the blood–brain barrier. By being excluded from the CNS, drugs may act on the rest of the body without producing side-effects related to their effects on the brain or spinal cord. For example, most opioids cause sedation when given at a sufficiently high dose, but peripherally selective opioids can act on the rest of the body without entering the brain and are less likely to cause sedation. These peripherally selective opioids can be used as antidiarrheals, for instance loperamide (Imodium).

Stroke. 9 (4): 344–349. doi:10.1161/01.str.9.4.344. PMID   209581. Mean extraction of isoproterenol in a single passage of the brain circulation was 3.8% and the calculated PS product was 2.0 ml/100g/min. The mean extraction of propranolol was 63.0% and the mean PS product 46.7 ml/100 g/min. [...] Passage of Isoproterenol and Propranolol Across Blood–Brain Barrier: No data are available in the literature concerning the ability of isoproterenol to cross the blood-brain barrier. From the hydrophilic nature of the molecule one might expect diffusion to be very slow, but the possibility of active uptake mechanisms still existed. The extraction of 3.8% found in the present study corresponds to that of sodium or other hydrophilic molecules.12 It is likely that a significant part of this extraction stems from areas known to be devoid of a blood-brain barrier. The extraction is clearly much smaller than that seen for amino acids and other substances that pass the barrier by facilitated diffusion.14

The lack of effect of blood-borne catecholamines, including isoproterenol, on cerebral blood flow has been attributed to their inability to cross the blood-brain barrier (26).
