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. 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.
Read the full article on Wikipedia“Isoprenaline is a β1- and β2-adrenergic receptor full agonist and has almost no activity at the α-adrenergic receptors at lower concentrations. It has similar affinity for the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors. At higher concentrations, isoprenaline can also evoke responses mediated by α-adrenergic receptors. 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.”
