Oxprenolol is a drug from the group of beta blockers and is used, among other things, to treat arterial hypertension (high blood pressure). Oxprenolol was patented by Ciba in 1966.
Clinical information
Oxprenolol is one of the nonselective beta blockers, as it does not specifically bind to the β 1 adrenoceptors . It exhibits intrinsic sympathomimetic activity ( ISA ), as do the beta blockers acebutolol and pindolol . The potency of oxprenolol is the same as that of propranolol.
Pharmacological properties
The fat-soluble oxprenolol is subject to a pronounced first-pass effect , the bioavailability is very variable and fluctuates between 20% and 70%. Oxprenolol is broken down in the liver.
Other Information
particularities
All beta blockers with ISA are said to lead to sleep disorders more often than beta blockers without ISA.
Stereochemistry
Oxprenolol is chiral , the racemate is used medicinally . The importance of the enantiomeric purity of synthetically produced active ingredients is being given increasing attention, because the two enantiomers of a chiral medicinal substance almost always show different pharmacology and pharmacokinetics. In the past, this was often ignored due to a lack of knowledge of stereochemical relationships. Analytical methods for the HPLC separation of ( R ) - (+) - oxprenolol and ( S ) - (-) - oxprenolol in pharmaceutical formulations and in the urine of patients are described in the literature.
