Biological target:
Metoprolol is an orally active, selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist.
In vitro activity:
Using LC-MS/MS, this study investigated the effects of six commonly used beta-blockers on brain sterol biosynthesis in vitro using cell lines. Two beta-blockers, metoprolol (MTP) and nebivolol, showed extreme elevations of the highly oxidizable cholesterol precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) in vitro across multiple cell lines. Reference: Biomolecules. 2022 Aug 31;12(9):1211. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36139049/
In vivo activity:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of metoprolol on development of atherosclerosis in ApoE(-/-) mice and investigate its effect on the release of proinflammatory cytokines. Male ApoE(-/-) mice were treated with metoprolol (2.5 mg/kg/h) or saline for 11 weeks via osmotic minipumps. Metoprolol significantly reduced atherosclerotic plaque area in thoracic aorta (P < 0.05 versus Control).This study found that a moderate dose of metoprolol significantly reduced atherosclerotic plaque area in thoracic aorta of ApoE(-/-) mice.
