Conditions:
Metirosine is an antihypertensive drug. Metyrosine inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase, which catalyzes the first transformation in catecholamine biosynthesis, i.e., the conversion of tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). Because the first step is als...

CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Targets:
Conditions:
Phenoxybenzamin (marketed under the trade name Dibenzyline) is an alpha-adrenergic antagonist with long duration of action. It is indicated in the treatment of pheochromocytoma, to control episodes of hypertension and sweating. If tachycardia is exce...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Conditions:
Phentolamine (trade name Regitine) is a reversible nonselective α-adrenergic antagonist used for the control of hypertensive emergencies, most notably due to pheochromocytoma. Phentolamine produces its therapeutic actions by competitively blocking al...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Targets:
Conditions:
Racemetirosine is an orally active inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosine 3-monooxygenase, and consequently of the synthesis of catecholamine. At dosages of 600 to 3500mg daily, it is effective in controlling the hypertensive episodes and symptoms of catec...

CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Conditions:
Metanephrine (metadrenaline) is a metabolite of epinephrine (adrenaline) created by the action of catechol-O-methyl transferase on epinephrine. It is a commonly occurring, pharmacologically and physiologically inactive metabolite of epinephrine. The...

CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Conditions:
Iobenguane I-131 is a radioactive therapeutic agent. The drug contains radioactive isotope I-131, which decays by electron emission with a half-life of about 8 days. By the chemical structure, iobenguane is similar to the neurotransmitter norepinephr...
