Molecular Formula: C20H33N3O4
SMILES: CCN(CC)C(=O)NC1=CC=C(OCC(O)CNC(C)(C)C)C(=C1)C(C)=O
Structure:
DrugBank Description: Celiprolol is indicated for the management of mild to moderate hypertension and effort-induced angina pectoris. It is simultaneously a selective β1 receptor antagonist, a β2 receptor partial agonist and a weak α2 receptor antagonist. In 2010 a clinical trial has suggested a use for this medication in the prevention of vascular complications of a rare inherited disease called vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. This study demonstrated decreased incidence of arterial rupture or dissection (a specific type of arterial rupture in which the layers of the vessel separate prior to complete failure of the artery wall). Celiprolol is not approved for use by the FDA in the treatment of vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.
CAS Number: 56980-93-9

DrugBank Indication: Celiprolol is indicated for the management of mild to moderate hypertension and effort-induced angina pectoris.
DrugBank Pharmacology: --
DrugBank MoA: Celiprolol is a vasoactive beta-1 selective adrenoceptor antagonist with partial beta-2 agonist activity. The beta-2 agonist activity is thought to account for its mild vasodilating properties. It lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients at rest and on exercise. The effects on heart rate and cardiac output are dependent on the pre-existing background level of sympathetic tone. Under conditions of stress such as exercise, celiprolol attenuates chronotropic and inotropic responses to sympathetic stimulation. However, at rest minimal impairment of cardiac function is seen.
Targets: Beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist; Beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist; Beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist; Alpha-2A adrenergic receptor antagonist; Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor antagonist; Alpha-2C adrenergic receptor antagonist
