Disclosed in certain embodiments is a method of treating a drug overdose comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a respiratory stimulant, wherein the overdosed drug comprises an α2 adrenergic receptor agonist.

Respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are commonly treated with β2-adrenergic receptor agonists that activate intracellular signaling pathways to induce airway relaxation. However, current therapies are limited by progressive receptor desensitization, or tachyphylaxis, largely attributed to β-arrestin recruitment. This desensitization reduces therapeutic efficacy over time and complicates long-term disease management, resulting in suboptimal outcomes for patients who rely on bronchodilators for daily symptom control. Disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising biased agonists and their methods of use, which minimally activate recruitment of beta-arrestin2.

The present disclosure relates to compositions, formulations, and associated methods for treating neurodegenerative diseases, wherein the compositions include an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist, such as midodrine, and an alpha-2A adrenergic agonist, such as dexmedetomidine. Upon administering to a human subject, the alpha-2A adrenergic agonist crosses the subject's blood-brain barrier thereby acting upon the subject's central nervous system, whereas the alpha-1 adrenergic agonist does not cross the subject's blood-brain barrier. The alpha-1 adrenergic agonist minimizes or eliminates the systemic vascular effects induced by the alpha-2A adrenergic agonist that causes the negative cerebral autoregulatory response, thereby enabling the alpha-2A adrenergic agonist to increase glymphatic flow in the subject's brain.
