Marketed under the brand name BYSTOLIC, Nebivolol is indicated for
the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Nebivolol is a racemic mixture containing equal amounts of two enantiomers, d-nebivolol and l-nebivolol (Levonebivolol). It is a selective β1-adrenergic antagonist with vasodilating properties. The d-enantiomer provides selective β1-adrenergic receptor blockade, whereas l-nebivolol possesses vasodilating properties thought to be attributable to nitric oxide modulation via the L-argininenitric oxide pathway. dl-nebivolol exerts an antithrombotic activity by stimulating the formation of NO by platelets, and that this effect is generated by its l-enantiomer, whereas the d-enantiomer exerts a weak antiplatelet effect because of β-adrenergic receptor-independent stimulation of adenyly cyclase. L-nebivolol had a protective effect against both endothelial dysfunction of the mesenteric artery and ileal injury induced by intestinal I/R; however, similar effects were not observed for racemic nebivolol. d-Nebivolol (SRRR) and nebivolol showed combined high affinity and selectivity for inhibition of beta 1-adrenergic receptor coupled accumulation of cAMP in CHO-Hu beta 1 cells (0.41 and 0.42 nM for d-nebivolol and nebivolol, respectively). l-Nebivolol (RSSS) was 1460 times less potent than d-nebivolol in CHO-Hu beta 1 cells.

Sample Use Guides
The effects of racemic nebivolol, 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mg; d-nebivolol, 2.5 mg; l-nebivolol, 2.5 mg; atenolol, 50 mg; and placebo, each given once daily for 7 days, on exercise-induced increases in heart rate and systolic blood pressure were compared in a seven-way double-blind randomized crossover trial in 14 healthy male volunteers.
Route of Administration:
Oral
In the isolated guinea pig heart coronary vasodilator potency of L- and D-nebivolol and a possible role of beta2, beta3 adrenoceptors and 5-HT1A receptors in nebivolol-induced vasodilation was analysed. Not only L-nebivolol (3-30 x 10(-6) M) but also D-nebivolol (3-30 x 10(-6) M) induced coronary vasodilation, and both responses were inhibited by L-NAME (10(-4) M).
