Evolution of β-blockers: from anti-anginal drugs to ligand-directed signalling

Abstract: Sir James Black developed β-blockers, one of the most useful groups of drugs in use today. Not only are they being used for their original purpose to treat angina and cardiac arrhythmias, but they are also effective therapeutics for hypertension, cardiac failure, glaucoma, migraine and anxiety. Recent studies suggest that they might also prove useful in diseases as diverse as osteoporosis, cancer and malaria. They have also provided some of the most useful tools for pharmacological research that have underpinn… Show more

“…A diverse set of ligands for the ␤ 2 AR have also been developed that are now mainstays in the clinic (9 -13). ␤-Antagonists have been used extensively in the treatment of hypertension, and some inverse agonists such as carvedilol have been used in the treatment of congestive heart failure (11,13). ␤ 2 AR agonists, including salbutamol and formoterol, are com-monly prescribed drugs for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (9,12).…”
