Beta-Adrenergic Agonists [PDF]
Inhaled β2-adrenoceptor (β2-AR) agonists are considered essential bronchodilator drugs in the treatment of bronchial asthma, both as symptoms-relievers and, in combination with inhaled corticosteroids, as disease-controllers.

Functional alteration of the beta-adrenergic receptor during desensitization of mammalian adenylate cyclase by beta-agonists. [PDF]
Exposure of several mammalian cell lines to isoproterenol resulted in a desensitization of the beta-adrenergic receptor-adenylate cyclase system in membranes isolated from the cells. Under the experimental conditions chosen, desensitization was accompanied by a minimal loss of beta-receptors.

In Silico Multitarget Profiling of Non-Selective Beta-Blockers Highlights Their Potential as Key Agents in Breast Cancer Adjuvant Therapy via ADRB2, ERBB2, and NPYR Receptors [PDF]
Breast cancer (BC) is associated with multiple molecular factors such as overexpression of the beta-2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) and the overproduction of its agonists (norepinephrine and epinephrine).

Identifying Ligand Binding Conformations of the β2-Adrenergic Receptor by Using Its Agonists as Computational Probes [PDF]
Recently available G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) structures and biophysical studies suggest that the difference between the effects of various agonists and antagonists cannot be explained by single structures alone, but rather that the conformational
