Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Levobunolol (l-Bunolol) hydrochloride is a potent and nonselective β-adrenergic receptor antagonist.
In vitro activity:
Timolol (100 nM, 10 microM) and levobunolol (10 microM) produced cAMP-independent inhibition of the regulatory volume increase (RVI) in PE (pigmented ciliary epithelial) cells and increased intracellular Ca(2+) and pH. Reference: Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 2001 Sep;281(3):C865-75. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11502564/
In vivo activity:
Levobunolol and ICI 118, 551 impaired corneal wound healing, decreased the expressions of CK3, CK14, and CK19 after limbal region scraping in mice. Moreover, levobunolol and ICI 118, 551 inhibited corneal wound healing by mediating the expression of Ki67, and the phosphorylation of EGFR and ERK1/2 in the limbal and regenerated corneal epithelium.
