Abstract

Beta blockers (BB) are selective and competitive antagonists of beta adrenergic receptors. They oppose with their action, to the stimulant effect of the sympathoadrenergic system. Since the differentiation of alpha and beta adrenergic receptors by Alhquist [1], pharmacologists have not ceased to create agonist molecules or increasingly selective antagonists. These molecules are designed to produce the desired action with the least possible secondary effect.
