Oxprenolol, a beta-blocker, is an effective antihypertensive when administered 3 or 4 times daily. We evaluated the antihypertensive effect of oxprenololgiven twice daily (bid). The subjects were 15 ambulatory men whose standing diastolic blood pressure (BP) was at least 100 mm Hg after 3 wk of treatment with hydrochlorothiazide and oxprenolol placebo. Oxprenolol 40 mg twice daily was then substituted for the placebo. On subsequent weekly vists oxprenolol was titrated to 80 and 160 mg bid if the standing diastolic BP was greater than 90 mm Hg. BLood pressures on the last visit on placebo were compared to those on the last visit on oxprenolol. Standing BP declined from 145 +/- 4/108 +/- 1 to 130 +/- 4/98 +/- 4 on a mean dose of 256 mg of oxprenolol (p less than 0.001 syst.; p less than 0.01 diast.). Recumbent BP fell from 146 +/- 4/107 +/- 1 to 138 +/- 5/93 +/- 2 (p less than 0.06 syst.; p less than 0.01 diast.). During the final week, 13 of the 15 patients were admitted to the hospital for 24-hr monitoring of BP. The 24-hr BP readings showed a mean coefficient of variation of 6.6% recumbent and 7.2% standing. we conclude that bid oxprenolol will maintain 24 hr BP control in most patients.

Magnetic particle spray mass spectrometry (MPS-MS), an innovative ambient ionization technique proposed by our research group, was employed to determine beta-blockers in human plasma samples. A dispersive solid phase extraction of atenolol, metoprolol, labetalol, propranolol, nadolol, and pindolol was carried out using magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (M-MIP) particles that were attached to the tip of a metal probe, which was placed in the mass spectrometer inlet. A solvent (1% formic acid in methanol) was dispensed on the particles, and the Taylor cone was formed around them (in high voltage).

The presence of some drugs in meat samples can cause threat to human health, therefore, its analysis is highly desirable for food safety purposes. In this work, a solid-phase extraction procedure for the determination of oxprenolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, and such anabolic agents as methandienone and testosterone in beef meat samples has been developed. Extraction conditions were optimized to achieve high sensitivity and accuracy of the results.

In conventional reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with hydro-organic solvents, basic cationic solutes yield retained, broad, asymmetric peaks, owing to their interaction with free anionic silanols in the stationary phase. RPLC mobile phases to which the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), or an ionic liquid (IL) are added, have been proposed as solutions, since these additives are able to block the silanol effect thus improving the chromatographic performance. With these additives, it is however necessary to increase the elution strength by adding an organic solvent, such as an alcohol or acetonitrile.

Background: This present study was undertaken to determine whether beta-blockers produce the cutaneous analgesic effect, comparing them with the long-acting local anesthetic bupivacaine.
Methods: Using a rat model of infiltrative cutaneous analgesia, the effect of 5 beta-blockers (oxprenolol, carteolol, butaxamine, metoprolol, and acebutolol) and bupivacaine was compared and eventually combined with epinephrine.
Results: Among 5 beta-blockers, oxprenolol exhibited the most potent and the longest duration of cutaneous analgesia.

Article Synopsis
- The study tests the effectiveness of two stereoisomers of oxprenolol (S-oxprenolol and R-oxprenolol) in combating cancer cachexia using rat and mouse models, with S-oxprenolol showing superior results.
- S-oxprenolol significantly reduced mortality and body weight loss compared to R-oxprenolol, demonstrating a clear dose-dependent effect on overall health and muscle mass in the Yoshida rat model.
- While S-oxprenolol improved certain quality of life indicators, such as food intake and grip strength, both stereoisomers had no notable impact on heart function or structure in the doses tested.
