Adrenoceptor

Cicloprolol is a partial β1-adrenoceptor agonist considered for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and impaired left ventricular function. The new β-adrenoceptor partial agonist Cicloprolol acts as a β-agonist at normal levels and as a β-antagonist at high levels of adrenergic discharge. Treatment with Cicloprolol should protect the heart against excessive stimulation, while providing a baseline level of sympathetic drive. Cicloprolol has a weak β1-agonistic effect at normal levels of adrenergic discharge and acts as an antagonist at high levels of discharge.
