Notes: Bevantolol is an antagonist of the β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR; Ki = 14.79 nM in rat cortical membranes).{52361} It is selective for β1- over β2-ARs (Ki = 588.84 nM), as well as α2-ARs up to 100 μM, but is an antagonist of α1-ARs (Ki = 125.89 nM). Bevantolol inhibits low voltage-activated calcium currents (LVA-ICa) in dissociated rat ventro-medial hypothalamic neurons (IC50 = 40 μM).{52362} It inhibits norepinephrine-induced contraction of isolated rabbit thoracic aorta (pA2 = 4.77), isoprenaline-induced inotropic effects in isolated guinea pig right atria (pA2 = 7.74), and isoprenaline-induced relaxation of isolated guinea pig trachea (pA2 = 6.69).{52363} Bevantolol (250 mg/kg per day) prevents immobilization stress-induced increases in systolic blood pressure in a rat model of stress-induced hypertension.{52364}
