Product Data
Biological target:
Bucindolol is a β1-adrenergic receptor blocker, with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, used in the research of heart failure.
In vitro activity:
Cell death was assessed by measuring caspase3/7 activity and by PI staining. A significant increase in active caspase-3/7, a direct indicator of apoptosis, was evident in the NE condition in comparison to the CTL condition. Bucindolol was able to reduce (66%) this activity in the NE+BCD condition when compared to the NE condition (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)). Reference: Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2019; 2019: 6325424. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6652037/
In vivo activity:
After two weeks, animals were treated for seven days with bucindolol (2mg/kg/day i.p.) or vehicle. Bucindolol treatment also reduced RV pleomorphism, necrosis, fibrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells. In addition, bucindolol promoted a decrease in the cardiac sympathovagal balance (93%) by reducing sympathetic drive (70%) and increasing parasympathetic drive (142%). Bucindolol also reduced blood pressure variability (75%). Reference: Eur J Pharmacol. 2017 Mar 5;798:57-65. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28011346/
