β-blockers: a novel class of antitumor agents
β-adrenergic signaling modulates key signaling pathways that are important for tumor-promoting processes, and numerous mechanisms of action have been elucidated. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that β-adrenergic antagonists, or β-blockers, can block multiple fundamental biologic processes underlying the progression and metastasis of tumors, including the inhibition of cell proliferation, ...

For more than 3 decades beta blockers have been widely used in the treatment of hypertension and are still recommended as first line agents (1,2). Beta blockers have been in use not only in hypertension but in other cardiovascular conditions. Since long period, beta blockers have assumed a guideline-recommended treatment option for hypertension. However, recent meta-analyses have questioned whe...
متن کاملAntihypertensive polar renomedullary lipid, a semisynthetic vasodilator.
Two types of biologically active lipids have been derived from renomedullary tissue. One is neutral (ANRL) and the other polar (APRL). Upon a bolus I.V. injection, APRL causes a rapid decline of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) after a single injection and a prolonged depressor effect after either multiple injections or an infusion. APRL became evident when a reduction procedure, using the Vitr...
متن کاملSodium channel blockers are vasodilator as well as natriuretic and diuretic agents.
Amiloride (100-400 micrograms) injected intra-arterially into the dog forelimb perfused at constant flow produced a prompt but transient dose-dependent decrease in perfusion pressure. Intravenous injection lowered systemic arterial pressure, but effects were small and transient except in doses exceeding 10 mg. We tested 11 analogues of amiloride, 3 other diuretics, and a hypotensive imidazopyra...
