doxazosin (Cardura)
adrenergic antagonist, α1 selective. Uses: relieving urinary symptoms (from BPH)
prazosin (Minipres)
adrenergic antagonist, α1 selective. Competitive. Hypertension therapy. No tachy side effect (selective) - expect reflex induced tachy, (-)'ed by unknown site? NOT β1. Oral. Lasts 12hrs
phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline)
α receptor antagonist. Noncompetitive (irreversible). Alkylates α1andα2, and inhibits NET. Lasts 24hrs. Oral or IV. Used for hypertension caused by pheochromocytoma
phentolamine (Vasomax)
α receptor antagonist. Competitive. α1->vasodilation(therapeutic use); α2->NE release (β1 not blocked, NE will elicit tachy and increased CO). Also cross reactive with muscarinic, histamine receptors. Used to help diagnost pheochromocytoma (Regitine Test)

adrenergic antagonist, β1 selective. Use: antihypertensive. 6-9hr½life. Diminished ability to cross BBB
betaxolol (Betoptic, Kerlone)
adrenergic antagonist, β1 selective. Use: glaucoma (reduces production of aqueous humor). 14-22hr½life

guanethidine (Isemlin)
depletes biogenic amine stores in vesicles, reducing NE release - ultimate hypotensive activity. Gets in via NET (inhibited by cocaine and DMI). Also stabilizes neuronal membrane, causing less exocytosis. Does not cross BBB.
reserpine
depletes stores of biogenic amines, by blocking transport into storage vesicles. Potent. Oral. Long duration. Adverse effects mostly in CNS, also ulcers from increased GI motility
cocaine
amine I transport inhibitor - NE levels rise, further sym. stimulation at target. Also causes hemostasis during surgery
DMI (desmethylimipramine)
