      Drug Name Atenolol Epinephrine
      Mechanism Antihypertensive agent
Beta adrenergic receptor  Antagonist 		Hypertensive effects
Beta-1 adrenergic receptor  Agonist
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Adrenergic receptor beta Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor binds epinephrine and norepinephrine with approximately equal affinity. Mediates Ras activation through G(s)-alpha- and cAMP-mediated signaling. Involved in the regulation of sleep/wake behaviors (PubMed:31473062).

      Mechanism Description
  • Antagonize the effect of Atenolol when combined with Epinephrine 

Recommended Action
      Management No specific intervention is necessary, but clinicians should be alert to the potential for diminished cardiac response when pressor agents are used in patients treated with beta-blockers, including ophthalmic formulations. A beta-blocker such as propranolol may be used to treat cardiac arrhythmias that occur during administration of pressor agents like mephentermine, metaraminol, norepinephrine, or phenylephrine.
