Acebutolol is an organic chemical compound that is one of the aromatics and amides . The substance is used as a drug belonging to the group of beta blockers .
Presentation and extraction
Acebutolol is made in five steps. The synthesis is based on 4-aminophenol , which is converted in the first step with butyric anhydride to form the acid amide 4-butyramidophenol and in the second step with acetyl chloride to form O- acetyl-4-butyramidophenol. After isomerization ( Fries rearrangement ) of the phenyl acetate structure to the 2-hydroxyacetophenone structure at 140 ° C. in the presence of aluminum chloride , an etherification with epichlorohydrin takes place . The target compound results from the ring opening of the epoxy function with isopropylamine . The synthesis sequence gives the racemate .
Clinical information
Acebutolol belongs to the group of medium-acting beta blockers, with a half-life of 4 to 12 hours and a duration of action of up to 24 hours. The bioavailability of acebutolol is 60% and it has a low selectivity for β 1 -adrenoceptors over other β-adrenoceptors . It is excreted by the kidneys and should therefore not be given to patients with renal insufficiency.
Intrinsic sympathetic activity
The specialty of acebutolol and some other beta blockers ( oxprenolol and pindolol ) is their intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA).
Other Information
Stereochemistry
Acebutolol has a chiral center, the racemate is used medicinally . The two enantiomers of a chiral drug almost always show a different pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, which was previously often ignored due to ignorance of stereochemical relationships. The active stereoisomer ( eutomer ) is ( S ) -form of acebutolol.
