Drug ID: | D240 |
Drug Name: | Dobutamine |
Synonyms: | |
Type: | small molecule |
DrugBank ID: | DB00841 |
DrugBank Description: | A beta-1 agonist catecholamine that has cardiac stimulant action without evoking vasoconstriction or tachycardia. It is proposed as a cardiotonic after myocardial infarction or open heart surgery. |

Structure: |
|
InChiKey: | JRWZLRBJNMZMFE-UHFFFAOYSA-N |
Molecular Weight: | 301.3801 |
DrugBank Targets: | Alpha-1 adrenergic receptors; Beta-1 adrenergic receptor; Beta-2 adrenergic receptor; Estrogen receptor alpha |
DrugBank MoA: | Dobutamine directly stimulates beta-1 receptors of the heart to increase myocardial contractility and stroke volume, resulting in increased cardiac output. |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | Dobutamine is a direct-acting inotropic agent whose primary activity results from stimulation of the beta-adrenoceptors of the heart while producing comparatively mild chronotropic, hypertensive, arrhythmogenic, and vasodilative effects. Dobutamine acts primarily on beta-1 adrenergic receptors, with negligible effects on beta-2 or alpha receptors. It does not cause the release of endogenous norepinephrine, as does dopamine. |
DrugBank Indication: | Indicated when parenteral therapy is necessary for inotropic support in the short-term treatment of patients with cardiac decompensation due to depressed contractility resulting either from organic heart disease or from cardiac surgical procedures. |
