(±) -Desisopropylpropranolol

(±) -Desisopropylpropranolol (N-Desisopropylpropranolol) is a metabolite of Propranolol. Propranolol acts as a non-selective β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) antagonist with high affinity for both β1AR and β2AR, having Ki values of 1.8 nM and 0.8 nM, respectively. It inhibits the binding of [3H]-DHA to rat brain membrane preparations with an IC50 of 12 nM. Propranolol is used in studies related to hypertension, pheochromocytoma, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, angina pectoris, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
