Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/PIL.27982.latest.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6344036

Oxprenolol is clinically a well-established beta blocker that shares with other members of this group the ability to control a variety of disorders, in particular, hypertension and angina. Pharmacologically it is a nonselective beta blocker that possesses partial agonist activity (intrinsic sympathomimetic activity). Pharmacokinetically, oxprenolol behaves as a moderately lipophilic agent. Oxprenolol undergoes first pass metabolism with only 30% of an oral dose reaching the systemic circulation. The drug is approximately 80% protein bound and is eliminated primarily by glucuronidation in the liver. Less than 4% of oxprenolol is excreted unchanged in the urine. Oxprenolol may reduce the heart rate and prolong the effective and functional atrioventricular nodal refractory period. Oxprenolol has less negative inotropic and chronotropic effects than propranolol. Plasma renin activity is reduced; however, changes in plasma aldosterone level are not significant. Long term metabolic effects require further study. Chest pain (angina), high blood pressure (hypertension), irregular heart beats and anxiety are indications for Oxprenolol usage. To date Oxprenolol is discontinued by FDA.

CNS Activity
