Isoproterenol-d7 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of isoproterenol by GC- or LC-MS. Isoproterenol is an agonist of β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors (β1- and β2-ARs; Kis = 224 and 458 nM, respectively). It is selective for β1- and β2-ARs over β3-ARs (Ki = 1,570 nM). Isoproterenol inhibits contractions in isolated field-stimulated rat vas deferens (EC50 = 45.6 nM). In vivo, isoproterenol (0.33 mg/kg) decreases blood pressure and increases water intake in nephrectomized rats. It reduces blood pressure and increases heart rate in renal hypertensive rabbits. Isoproterenol inhibits histamine-induced bronchospasms in anesthetized dogs. Formulations containing isoproterenol have been used in the treatment of bradydysrhythmias and to improve breathing during anesthesia.
Clofeverine hydrochloride is the salt form of Clofeverine (free base), a highly selective relaxant for gastrointestinal smooth muscles with a beta-receptor stimulative nature. On isolated ileum, the inhibitory effect of clofeverine for spontaneous motility was comparable to that of isoproterenol and 100 times higher than that of papaverine.
Protokylol hydrochloride is the salt form of Protokylol (free base) (Asmetil, Caytine, Palison, Ventaire), a β-adrenergic receptor agonist used as a bronchodilator in Europe and the United States. It is methylenedioxyphenyl-isoproterenol.
