Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Photoswitchable Tool Compounds to Enlighten β-Adrenoceptor Signalling

 -adrenergic receptors ( -AR), a family of class A G Protein-Coupled Receptors, include three subtypes:  1-AR,  2-AR, and  3-AR. They are considered key targets in treating diseases such as heart failure and asthma with betablockers such as propranolol and agonists that are commonly structurall...
