Impact of polymorphic variants on the molecular pharmacology of the two-agonist conformations of the human ?1-adrenoceptor (2013)
Journal Article
?-blockers are widely used to improve symptoms and prolong life in heart disease primarily by inhibiting the actions of endogenous catecholamines at the ?1-adrenoceptor. There are two common naturally occurring polymorphisms within the human ?1-adren...

Synthesis and in vitro and in vivo characterization of highly ?1-Selective ?-Adrenoceptor partial agonists (2013)
Journal Article
β-Adrenoceptor antagonists boast a 50-year use for symptomatic control in numerous cardiovascular diseases. One might expect highly selective antagonists are available for the human β-adrenoceptor subtype involved in these diseases, yet few truly β1-...

Predicting in vivo cardiovascular properties of ?-blockers from cellular assays: a quantative comparison of cellular and cardiovascular pharmacological responses (2011)
Journal Article
?-Adrenoceptor antagonists differ in their degree of partial agonism. In vitro assays have provided information on ligand affinity, selectivity, and intrinsic efficacy. However, the extent to which these properties are manifest in vivo is less clear....

Evolution of ?-blockers: from anti-anginal drugs to ligand-directed signalling (2011)
Journal Article
Sir James Black developed ?-blockers, one of the most useful groups of drugs in use today. Not only are they being used for their original purpose to treat angina and cardiac arrhythmias, but they are also effective therapeutics for hypertension, car...
