Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Targets:
Carvedilol competitively blocks β1, β2 and α1 receptors. The drug lacks sympathomimetic activity and has vasodilating properties that are exerted primarily through α1-blockade. Animal models indicate that carvedilol confers protection against myocard...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Targets:
Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic with mainly class III properties, but it possesses electrophysiologic characteristics of all four Vaughan Williams classes. Like class I drugs, amiodarone blocks sodium channels at rapid pacing frequencies, and like cl...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Conditions:
Pindolol was developed at Sandoz at 1960s. Pindolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic antagonist (beta-blocker) which possesses intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (partial agonist activity) in therapeutic dosage ranges but does not possess quinidine-...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Targets:
Propranolol is a nonselective, beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking agent possessing no other autonomic nervous system activity. At dosages greater than required for beta blockade, propranolol also exerts a quinidine-like or anesthetic-like membrane act...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
Conditions:
Norepinephrine (l-arterenol/Levarterenol or l-norepinephrine) is a sympathomimetic catecholamine with multiple roles including as a hormone and a neurotransmitter. As a stress hormone, norepinephrine affects parts of the brain where attention and res...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
Conditions:
Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic drug. Pseudoephedrine acts as an adrenomimetic and inhibitor of monoamine transporters. Ephedra sinica, a species of ephedra (ma huang), contains ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Ephedra has been found to stimulate ...
FLAVODILOL is an antihypertensive agent.
Tazolol is a selective myocardial beta-blocking agent. Experiments on dogs have shown that this compound could be useful in patients with heart failure due to coronary artery disease. However, information about the current use of tazolol is not avail...
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Targets:
Conditions:
Adaprolol is a beta-adrenergic antagonist that is being developed as a topical agent to treat glaucoma. Adaprolol demonstrated a safer cardiovascular profile, especially in the population over 70 years old. It was in Phase II clinical trials for the ...
Ronactolol is an aminopropanol derivative and a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist. This compound has been withdrawn from development.
