Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Esmolol is a short acting hyperselective β-adrenergic blocker effective in blunting adrenergic response to several perioperative stimuli and so it might interfere in the effect of the anesthetic drugs on the brain. Esmolol is effective not only in attenuating intraoperative hemodynamic changes related to sympathetic overdrive but also in minimizing significant propofol and sevoflurane requirements without compromising the hemodynamic status.

Product Data
Biological target:
Esmolol is a cardioselective beta1 receptor blocker.
In vitro activity:
The results indicated that esmolol reversibly inhibited I(Na) in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 74.2 +/- 0.60 micromol l(-1) with a Hill coefficient of 1.02 +/- 0.04. This inhibition was voltage- and frequency-dependent. Reference: Methods Find Exp Clin Pharmacol. 2006 Dec;28(10):697-702. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17235414/
In vivo activity:
Brain histology showed a significant reduction in cortical neuronal degeneration/necrosis in the esmolol group compared to the control one (mean score 0.3 vs. 1.3, p = 0.03, Fig. 3A), while only a trend was present in the hippocampal region (mean score 1 vs. 2, p = 0.11, Fig. 3B). A marked reduction of microglial activation in the hippocampus was also observed after treatment with esmolol compared to control (mean % 6 vs. 2, p < 0.001, Fig. 3C). Significantly lower circulating levels of NSE were measured in esmolol animals compared to controls at 96 h after resuscitation (median 2.2 vs. 21, p < 0.0001, Fig. 4A).
