CAS#: 81161-17-3

Description: Esmolol Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of esmolol, a short and rapid-acting beta adrenergic antagonist belonging to the class II anti-arrhythmic drugs and devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Esmolol hydrochloride competitively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors in cardiac muscle and reduces the contractility and cardiac rate of heart muscle, thereby decreasing cardiac output and myocardial oxygen demands. This agent also decreases sympathetic output centrally and blocks renin secretion. At higher doses, esmolol hydrochloride also blocks beta-2 receptors located in bronchial and vascular smooth muscle, thereby leading to smooth muscle relaxation.

Product Data:
Biological target: Esmolol hydrochloride is a beta adrenergic receptor blocker.
In vitro activity: The results indicated that esmolol reversibly inhibited I(Na) in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 74.2 +/- 0.60 micromol l(-1) with a Hill coefficient of 1.02 +/- 0.04. This inhibition was voltage- and frequency-dependent. Reference: Methods Find Exp Clin Pharmacol. 2006 Dec;28(10):697-702. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17235414/
In vivo activity: Brain histology showed a significant reduction in cortical neuronal degeneration/necrosis in the esmolol group compared to the control one (mean score 0.3 vs. 1.3, p = 0.03, Fig. 3A), while only a trend was present in the hippocampal region (mean score 1 vs. 2, p = 0.11, Fig. 3B). A marked reduction of microglial activation in the hippocampus was also observed after treatment with esmolol compared to control (mean % 6 vs. 2, p < 0.001, Fig. 3C). Significantly lower circulating levels of NSE were measured in esmolol animals compared to controls at 96 h after resuscitation (median 2.2 vs. 21, p < 0.0001, Fig. 4A).
