(±)-Talinolol is a β1-selective adrenoceptor antagonist well known for its cardioprotective and antihypertensive activity. By blocking β1-adrenergic receptors, talinolol delays the conduction of stimuli in the AV node, reduces the sino-atrial conduction time, and impedes the sinus node automaticity. Because its metabolism in human liver microsomes is well understood, (±)-talinolol is useful for examining the activity of the drug-transporting MDR1 gene product P-glycoprotein.
