Carvedilol

Carvediol is a nonselective beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent and an alpha 1-adrenoceptor blocker. It can be used as a drug, belonging to the class of beta blockers, in the treatment of heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension. Carvedilol has been shown to reduce the risk of death in patients with heart failure and improve symptoms. Furthermore it has an effect on blood pressure by decreasing peripheral vascular resistance and mean arterial pressure. Carvedilol can be metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes and CYP2D6 and CYP2C9 liver enzymes. Carvediol is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready to use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.

Carvedilol (SKF 105517) Phosphate is the phosphate salt form of carvedilol, a racemic mixture and adrenergic blocking agent with antihypertensive activity and devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. The S enantiomer of carvedilol nonselectively binds to and blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, thereby exerting negative inotropic and chronotropic effects, and leading to a reduction in cardiac output. In addition, both enantiomers of carvedilol bind to and block alpha 1-adrenergic receptors, thereby causing vasodilation and reducing peripheral vascular resistance.
