Uses
Bopindolol ((±)-Bopindolol) malonate is an orally active antagonist of β-adrenoceptors (ARs) with partial agonist activity. Bopindolol malonate is non-selective for β1- and β2-ARs and has low affinity for β3-AR subtype. Bopindolol malonate has intrinsic sympathomimetic as well as membrane stabilizing actions, inhibits renin secretion, and interacts with 5-HT receptors. Bopindolol malonate is a proagent of Pindolol (HY-B0982). Bopindolol malonate can be used for essential and renovascular hypertension research.
