Nebivolol hydrochloride, >=98% (HPLC)

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Nebivolol hydrochloride has been used as a standard in the validation of high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC)-densitometry method. It may be used in calibration curve preparation and absorption spectrum studies using spectrophotometry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nebivolol hydrochloride (NEB) is used as a racemic mixture for clinical studies. It stabilizes membrane and possesses intrinsic sympathomimetic functionality. Nebivolol interaction with π-acceptors (2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid; PA)) is useful in the spectrophotometric detection methods.

Nebivolol is a competitive, highly selective b1-receptor antagonist with mild vasodialating properties, possibly due to an interaction with the L-arginine/ NO pathway, and is used for treatment of essential hypertension. It is 40-fold selective for β1 vs. β2, and lacks ISA (intrinsic sympathomimetic activity).
