 Use of Bopindolol fumarate


Bopindolol ((±)-Bopindolol) fumarate is an orally active antagonist of β-adrenoceptors (ARs) with partial agonist activity. Bopindolol fumarate is non-selective for β1- and β2-ARs and has low affinity for β3-AR subtype. Bopindolol fumarate is a prodrug of pindolol and can be used for essential and renovascular hypertension research[1][2].

In Vivo Bopindolol (intravenous injection; l8, 16 and 32 μg/kg) fumarate causes a dose-dependent inhibition of isoprenaline-induced tachycardia, and this agent is 4 times more potent than propranolol in anaesthetised dogs[1]. Bopindolol (intraperitoneal injection; 3.0 mg/kg) fumarate reduces the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in pithed rats. And pindolol (1.0 mg/kg) produces similar decreases in DBP of about 8 mmHg. it also produces a dose-dependent decrease in heart rate[2].
