Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

textβ-adrenergic receptor agonists (β-agonists) mimic the action of epinephrine and norepinephrine signaling in the heart, lungs and smooth muscle tissue and have the opposite function to β-blockers. Activation of β1 receptors induces positive inotropic and chronotropic output of the cardiac muscle, leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure. Activation of β2 receptors induces smooth muscle relaxation in the lungs, GI tract, uterus and various blood vessels (Isogaya et al. 1999, Dutta & Li 2002, Ortega 2014). β-agonists are a mainstay of asthma treatment. β-agonists that bind to β1 and β2 receptors include dobutamine, arformoterol, isoprenaline and indacaterol.

Dobutamine is a sympathomimetic drug (stimulant compounds which mimic the effects of endogenous agonists of the sympathetic nervous system) used in the treatment of heart failure and septic or cardiogenic shock, on the basis of its positive inotropic action (Dubin et al. 2017, Rivers et al. 2001). Arformoterol is the active (R,R)-enantiomer of formoterol and is a long-lasting β2 adrenoreceptor agonist indicated for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Sears et al. 2009). Isoprenaline (isoproterenol) is the isopropylamine analog of adrenaline and is a non-selective β-adrenoreceptor agonist used in the treatment of heart block, bradycardia and as an adjunct to treat septic shock, hypoperfusion states, congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Indacaterol is an ultra-long-acting β-adrenoceptor agonist used in the treatment of COPD and asthma (Beeh et al. 2007). Abediterol is an ultra-long-acting β2-agonist currently in Phase II clinical trials that is a once-daily treatment for asthma (Beier et al. 2017) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Beier et al. 2016). It shows functional selectivity for β2 receptors over β1 receptors and is a full agonist at the β2 receptor (Aparici et al. 2012).
