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]
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]
