Identification
Name Bupranolol
Accession Number DB08808
Type small molecule
Description Bupranolol is a non-selective beta blocker without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA), but with strong membrane stabilizing activity. Its potency is similar to "propranolol":http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00571.

Pharmacology
Indication Used to manage hypertension and tachycardia. Also used to treat glaucoma.
Mechanism of action Bupranolol competes with sympathomimetic neurotransmitters such as catecholamines for binding at beta(1)-adrenergic receptors in the heart, inhibiting sympathetic stimulation. This results in a reduction in resting heart rate, cardiac output, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and reflex orthostatic hypotension.
Absorption Quickly and completely absorbed from the gut with less than 10% oral bioavailability.
Protein binding 76%
Biotransformation Over 90% undergo first-pass metabolism. The main metabolite is carboxybupranolol, 4-chloro-3-[3-(1,1-dimethylethylamino)-2-hydroxy-propyloxy]benzoic acid, of which 88% are eliminated renally within 24 hours.
Route of elimination Not Available
Toxicity Symptoms of overdose include bradycardia, cardiac failure, hypotension, and brochospasm.
Affected organisms
  • Humans and other mammals
