Pharmakologie
Catecholamines are organic monoamines consisting of a catechol molecule
with a variable amine side chain. Catecholamine drugs may be endogenous
(adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine) or synthetic (dobutamine,
dopexamine and isoprenaline). Several other drugs with a non-catecholamine
structure produce sympathomimetic effects via adrenergic receptors (e.g.
ephedrine and phenylephrine). All catecholamine drugs are inactivated in
the gut by MAO and are usually only administered parenterally. They all
have very short half-lives in vivo, and so, when given by intravenous infusion,
their effects may be controlled by altering the infusion rate. The comparative
effects of different inotropes and vasopressors are outlined next.
