Description

(±)-Befunolol is a β-adrenoceptor blocking agent.

Befunolol is a member of benzofurans.|Befunolol is a beta blocker introduced in 1983 by Kakenyaku Kakko. It is currently in experimental status, and is being tested for the management of open angle glaucoma.

Drug Information

Drug Indication：

Used in the management of open angle glaucoma. PMID: 12480285.

MeSH：

Drugs that bind to but do not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. Adrenergic beta-antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches, and anxiety. (See all compounds classified as Adrenergic beta-Antagonists.)|Drugs that selectively bind to and activate beta-adrenergic receptors. (See all compounds classified as Adrenergic beta-Agonists.)

MeSH Entry Terms：

2-acetyl-7-(2-hydroxy-3-isopropylamino)propoxybenzofuran

Befunolol Use and Manufacturing

Befunolol is a β-adrenergic blocker with an intrinsic sympathomimetic action. But it can work as a β-adrenergic partial agonist in isolated organs.
