title: [Central and peripheral alpha-agonist and antagonist drugs in pharmacology and therapy].
abstract: Recent evidence has allowed to characterize the physiological role of adrenergic alfa-receptors either at the level of SNC or at peripheral level. Therefore it has been possible in this review to mention the mechanism of action, the therapeutical use of drugs acting on alfa-receptors and finally to suggest new applications of these drugs in therapeutics.
