      Drug Name Clonidine Tadalafil
      Mechanism Antihypertensive agent
Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor  Agonist
Hypotensive effects
Prostacyclin receptor  Agonist
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Adrenergic receptor alpha-2 Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The rank order of potency for agonists of this receptor is oxymetazoline > clonidine > epinephrine > norepinephrine > phenylephrine > dopamine > p-synephrine > p-tyramine > serotonin = p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > phentolamine = mianserine > chlorpromazine = spiperone = prazosin > propanolol > alprenolol = pindolol.
