What is Dobutamine?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Dobutamine is a catecholamine that is 4-(3-aminobutyl)phenol in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl group. A beta1-adrenergic receptor agonist that has cardiac stimulant action without evoking vasoconstriction or tachycardia, it is used as the hydrochloride to increase the contractility of the heart in the management of acute heart failure. It has a role as a beta-adrenergic agonist, a sympathomimetic agent and a cardiotonic drug. It is a secondary amine and a catecholamine.
