Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s): Bronsted base
A molecular entity capable of accepting a hydron from a donor (Bronsted acid).
(via organic amino compound )
Biological Role(s): sympathomimetic agent
A drug that mimics the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included in this class are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters.
alpha-adrenergic agonist
An agent that selectively binds to and activates alpha-adrenergic receptors.
Application(s): cardiotonic drug
A drug that has a strengthening effect on the heart or that can increase cardiac output.
mydriatic agent
Agent that dilates the pupil. Used in eye diseases and to facilitate eye examination. It may be either a sympathomimetic or parasympatholytic. The latter cause cycloplegia or paralysis of accommodation at high doses and may precipitate glaucoma.
protective agent
Synthetic or natural substance which is given to prevent a disease or disorder or are used in the process of treating a disease or injury due to a poisonous agent.
vasoconstrictor agent
Drug used to cause constriction of the blood vessels.
sympathomimetic agent
A drug that mimics the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included in this class are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters.
nasal decongestant
A drug used to relieve nasal congestion in the upper respiratory tract.
alpha-adrenergic agonist
An agent that selectively binds to and activates alpha-adrenergic receptors.
