Optical Activity UNSPECIFIED

Nebivolol is a competitive and highly selective beta-1 receptor antagonist with mild vasodilating properties, possibly due to an interaction with the L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway. In preclinical studies, nebivolol has been shown to induce endothelium-dependent arterial relaxation in a dose dependent manner, by stimulation of the release of endothelial nitric oxide. Nitric oxide acts to relax vascular smooth muscle cells and inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Activation of β1-receptors by epinephrine increases the heart rate and the blood pressure, and the heart consumes more oxygen. Nebivolol blocks these receptors which reverses the effects of epinephrine, lowering the heart rate and blood pressure. In addition, beta blockers prevent the release of renin, which is a hormone produced by the kidneys which leads to constriction of blood vessels. At high enough concentrations, this drug may also bind beta 2 receptors. Marketed under the brand name BYSTOLIC, Nebivolol is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. The beta-blocking effects of nebivolol reside in the d-isomer. Nebivolol is a racemic combination of Dexnebivolol (d-nebivolol, +SRRR nebivolol) and l-nebivolol (-RSSS nebivolol) that differs chemically from other beta-blockers, with an absolutely symmetrical configuration developing from a central nitrogen atom. D-nebivolol and l-nebivolol divaricate pharmacologically and therapeutically, with a noticeably different profile from that of conventional beta-blockers; for instance, the selective blocking of beta(1)-adrenoceptors is determined almost exclusively by d-nebivolol. Both enantiomers act synergistically with respect to blood pressure reduction: the effect of nebivolol on heart rate is exclusively exerted by d-nebivolol, with these hypotensive effects enhanced by the addition of the l-enantiomer, which in itself does not influence systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Isomer d-nebivolol (SRRR) is a β1 adrenergic receptor blocker and its antipode, l-nebivolol (RSSS) is responsible for endothelium-dependent NO liberation. 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. The binding affinities of d-nebivolol and nebivolol for human beta 1-adrenergic binding sites correlated well with their potencies in inhibiting beta 1-adrenergic receptor coupled accumulation of cAMP.

Sample Use Guides

Can be taken with and without food. Individualize to the needs of the patient and monitor during up-titration. (2) • Hypertension: Most patients start at 5 mg once daily. Dose can be increased at 2-week intervals up to 40 mg.
Route of Administration: Oral
Nebivolol reduces cell proliferation of human coronary smooth muscle cells (haCSMCs) and endothelial cells (haECs) in a concentration- and time-dependent maner. Nebivolol treatment for 7 days causes significant reduction in cell growth of haCSMCs with IC50 of 6.1 uM, and inhibits accelerated haCSMC proliferation stimulated by growth factors PDGF-BB, bFGF, and TGFβ with IC50 values of 6.8 uM, 6.4 uM and 7.7 uM, repectively. Nebivolol treatment (10-5 M) of haCSMCs for 48 hours induces a moderate apoptosis of 23% and a decrease from 16% to 5% in the number of cells in S-phase. During Nebivolol incubation, NO formation of HaCEs increases, while endothelin-1 transcription and secretion are suppressed.
