Description

Bevantolol (INN) was a drug candidate for angina and hypertension that acted as both a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker. Animal experiments confirm both agonist and antagonist effects on alpha-receptors, in addition to antagonist activity at beta-1 receptors. By binding and antagonizing beta-1 receptors Bevantolol inhibits the normal normal epinephrine-mediated sympathetic actions such as increased heart rate. This has the effect of decreasing preload and blood pressure. Bevantolol was discovered and developed by Warner-Lambert but in January 1989 the company announced that it had withdrawn the New Drug Application. As of 2016 it wasn't marketed in the US, UK, or Europe.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
The patients were given bevantolol 100 mg twice daily for four weeks. Exercise tolerance testing was performed at the end of this period; ten to twelve hours after the last dose. If the patient’s symptoms were controlled during this period, as shown by at least 30% increased exercise time, the double-blind phase was conducted on the same daily dose. Patients who were not controlled received bevantolol 400 mg daily either once in the morning or 200 mg twice daily during the double-blind randomised cross-over phase.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Effects of Bevantolol on salbutamol (3 × 10^-7 M)-induded increases in impulse-evoked 3H efflux from spirally cut pulmonary arteries of guinea-pigs was evaluated. Strips were incubated for 60 min in 10^-7 M [3H]norepinephrine, rinsed, set up then superfused with Krebs solution. Transmural field stimulation (5 Hz, 2 msec, 10V, 20 sec) was applied twice, 90 min and 120 min after the start of superfusion, Bevantolol were superfused simultaneously with salbutamol between 2 periods of stimulation. In the abscissa, the total 3H efflux caused by the 2rid stimulation is expressed as a percentage of that caused by the 1st stimulation.
