Agonist Comments
BI-167107 is a high affinity β1-/β2-AR agonist that has been used to determine agonist bound structures of these β-subtypes [90]. RO-363 is the only β-AR agonist that displays significant selectivity for the β1-AR subtype and has been used experimentally to examine the physiological roles of β1-AR. ICI89406 and LK204-545 are partial agonists with significant β1-AR selectivity [58]. Noradrenaline displays a minor degree of selectivity for β1-AR and is used clinically by slow intravenous infusion to increase the blood pressure associated with shock mainly utilising its actions on α1-AR although the actions on β-AR may help maintain cardiac output. Xamoterol was trialled for the treatment of heart failure being a partial agonist that provided cardiac stimulation yet could block the deleterious effects of high plasma levels of endogenous catecholamines associated with this condition but unfortunately, prolonged stimulation of β1-AR with this compound clearly worsened heart failure and increased mortality so this approach was not successful. Xamoterol, denopamine and dobutamine have varying degrees of β1-AR selectivity and were previously used over short periods to maintain cardiac function in failure. Current clinical uses: noradrenaline and adrenaline are used clinically by slow intravenous infusion to increase the blood pressure associated with shock mainly utilising its actions on α1-AR although the actions on β-AR may help maintain cardiac output.

Antagonist Comments
CGP 12177 is listed as a non-selective partial agonist at the β1-AR. It has now been established that the agonist action of this ligand is a result of action at a non-catecholamine activated site on the β1-AR [11]. This site is resistant to propranolol but is eliminated in β1-AR knockout mice, confirming the site of action as the β1-AR. This site was previously referred to as the β4-AR [38]. At the β1-AR, CGP12177 is a high affinity antagonist of the orthosteric catecholamine conformation. At higher concentrations, it activates a secondary conformation of the β1-AR. This secondary conformation can be activated by several compounds including pindolol, alprenolol, cyanopindolol, carazolol and carvedilol and is relatively resistant to antagonism by many β-antagonists (compared to the catecholamine conformation). Many of the antagonists acting at β1-AR display partial agonist properties including pindolol, carazolol, labetalol, SR59230A, LK 204-545, cyanopindolol, carvedilol and acebutolol [6-7,9] particularly in in vitro assays. Propafenone also primarily blocks α-subunits of sodium ion channels (see the Voltage-gated sodium channels family in the Ion Channels section of this website for further details). Cyanopindolol and 7-methyl cyanopindolol are high affinity antagonists or very weak partial agonists that have been used to explore the relationship between structure and efficacy [73]. CGP20712A is the most selective β1-AR antagonist that is easily available and is widely used in in vitro studies with ≥1000 fold selectivity vs. the other 8 adrenoceptors but does have some off-target activity on other receptors. NDD-713 and NDD-825 are high-affinity, β1-AR selective ligands devoid of agonist activity, off-target effects, and toxicology issues, but with good distribution, metabolism and elimination properties. These ligands are largely devoid of the β2-AR-mediated adverse effects of bronchospasm and vasoconstriction and may be beneficial in patients with cardiovascular and respiratory disease or limb ischemia. Most so-called cardioselective β-AR antagonists display only modest selectivity for β1-AR. Current clinical uses: widely used for heart failure, ischaemic heart disease, cardiac arrythmias, hypertension, glaucoma, portal hypertension, anxiety, migraine, benign essential tremor, thyrotoxicosis, infantile haemangioma (some may target β2-AR as well as β1-AR).
Immunopharmacology Comments
β1-AR is involved in immune regulation and inflammation.
Inflammation: Astrocytes [15] and microglia [79].

Comments:  Stimulation of adenylate cyclase (AC) causes the conversion of ATP into cAMP. This activates protein kinase A, which in turn phosphorylates several substrates, for example L-type Ca2+ channels.

Most homozygous β1 knockout mice die prenatally, but those that reach adulthood show reduced chronotropic and inotropic responses to β-adrenoceptor agonists and reduced stimulation of adenylyl cyclase in cardiac membrane.
These demonstrate the functional differences between the receptor subtypes, and the importance of the β1-adrenoceptor in mouse development and cardiac function.

Missense Human S49G Highest mean resting heart rates were seen in individuals with the Ser49Gly polymorphism in ADRB1 67
Biologically Significant Variants Click here for help
Type:  Single nucleotide polymorphism
Species:  Human
Description:  A common Gly389 -> Arg polymorphism has been identified in humans.
Although originally thought that Gly389 was the wild-type, both Gly389 and Arg389 are considered to be common.
This polymorphism is located in the intracellular cytoplasmic tail, resulting in differing Gs binding properties.
The Arg398 polymorphism may enhance Gs binding and consequently an increase in adenylyl cyclase activity, although other studies show little difference in antagonist or agonist binding or second messenger signalling. Due to their prevalence, the polymorphisms are not thought to be the primary cause of disease, although may be a small risk factor in common, multi-factorial diseases such as hypertension and atrial fibrillation. They also may alter responses to β-blocker therapy.
Amino acid change:  G389R
References:  1,10,23,37,39,42,54
Type:  Single nucleotide polymorphism
Species:  Human
Description:  A Ser49 -> Gly polymorphism has been identified.
It is associated with a higher resting heart rate in individuals of Chinese/Japanese descent. Ser homozygotes have a more rapid heart rate than Ser/Gly heterozygotes, who have a more rapid heart rate than Gly homozygotes. No difference in molecular pharmacology (antagonist or agonist affinity, efficacy or cell signalling) have been identified when examined in CHO cells.
Amino acid change:  S49G
