    Product Description

    (±)-Propranolol is a β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) antagonist (Kds = 6.91, 0.832, and 117.49 nM for human β1-, β2-, and β3-ARs, respectively).1 It reduces mean blood pressure, resting heart rate, and contractility and increases AV conduction time in dogs.2 (±)-Propranolol restores normal sinus rhythm in dogs with ouabain-induced arrhythmias (ED50 = 3.8 mg/kg).3 It also acts as a non-specific serotonin receptor antagonist, reducing tranylcypromine/L-tryptophan-induced hyperactivity in rats.4 Formulations containing (±)-propranolol have been used for the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, and cardiac ischemia.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
