Pharmacology
Indication: For the prophylaxis of migraine.
Pharmacology: Propranolol, the prototype of the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists, is a competitive, nonselective beta-blocker similar to nadolol without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Propanolol is a racemic compound; the l-isomer is responsible for adrenergic blocking activity.
Mechanism of Action: Propranolol competes with sympathomimetic neurotransmitters such as catecholamines for binding at beta(1)-adrenergic receptors in the heart, inhibiting sympathetic stimulation. This results in a reduction in resting heart rate, cardiac output, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and reflex orthostatic hypotension.
Absorption: Propranolol is almost completely absorbed from the GI tract; however, plasma concentrations attained are quite variable among individuals.
Protein binding: More than 90%
Biotransformation: Hepatic
Route of elimination: Propranolol is extensively metabolized with most metabolites appearing in the urine.
Half Life: 4 hours
Toxicity: Symptoms of overdose include bradycardia, cardiac failure, hypotension, and brochospasm. LD50=565 mg/kg (orally in mice).
Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
Interactions
