Bufuralol, a new beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent in a series of benzofuran-2-ethanolamines. Part 2: pharmacology
Abstract
1-(7-Ethylbenzofuran-2-yl)-2-tert.-butylamino-1-hydroxyethane hydrochloride (bufuralol) is a non-selective beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent which closely resembles propranolol in its properties, including potency. Bufuralol is devoid of alpha-adrenoceptor blocking activity but possesses beta-adrenoceptor agonist activity. beta-Adrenoceptor blocking activity resides mainly in the (-)-isomer though membrane stabilising properties are associated with both optical isomers.
