TLDR
LB 46 appears to be one of the most potent beta adrenergic blocking drugs so far known and one ofThe least effective in depressing myocardial function.Abstract:
The beta adrenergic blocking effects, the antiarrhythmic properties and the local anesthetic activity of LB 46 have been investigated. In chloralose-anesthetized dogs, LB 46 was 10-to 40-fold more potent than propranolol in antagonizing the cardiovascular effects of isoproterenol and the cardiac stimulating effects of epinephrine, norepinephrine and right stellate ganglion stimulation. In isolated preparations, LB 46 was 3-to 10-fold more potent than propranolol. At beta adrenergic blocking doses, LB 46 was devoid of any intrinsic beta sympathomimetic activity. Furthermore, no modification of the resting cardiovascular parameters of the anesthetized dog could be detected. LB 46 at doses 60-fold higher than the beta adrenergic blocking doses reversed ouabain-induced ventricular tachycardia in dogs, but reversion was then associated with moderate cardiac depressant effects. This reversion occurred although LB 46 had very weak local anesthetic properties. LB 46 appears to be one of the most potent beta adrenergic blocking drugs so far known and one of the least effective in depressing myocardial function.read more

A comparison of beta adrenergic blocking drugs in the treatment of hypertension
TL;DR: There is little difference between the various beta adrenergic blocking drugs in the treatment of hypertension, but in a few patients one or other may have advantages over the remainder.

Ingestion in the satiated rat: role of alpha and beta receptors in mediating effects of hypothalamic adrenergic stimulation.
TL;DR: Two adrenergically elicited phenomenon, namely, a suppression of drinking, was observed during and after the period of induced feeding, and Pharmacological analysis of the ingestive behaviors induced by l-norepinephrine or l-epinephrine indicated that the eating response was mediated by alpha-adrenergic receptors, whereas the drinking response involved the synergistic action of both alpha- and beta-adRenergic receptors.

Pharmacokinetics of pindolol in man
TL;DR: The kinetics of absorption, distribution and excretion of pindolol have been investigated in 17 volunteers after an oral dose or intravenous infusion of 5 mg and they showed up to 4-fold variation after identical doses.

Hypothermic effect of α-sympathomimetic agents and their antagonism by adrenergic and cholinergic blocking drugs
TL;DR: The results suggest that the hypothermie action of α-sympathomimetic agents seems to be due to a dual effect, central and peripheral, and the receptors involved in this effect seem to be related, but differ, to the classical α-adrenoreceptors.

Acute and long-term studies of the mechanisms of action of beta-blocking drugs in lowering blood pressure
TL;DR: In hypertensive patients classified according to blood pressure and recumbent plasma renin activity profiles a significant relationship exists between changes in plasma ren in activity and arterial pressure responses, suggesting that patients with high renin levels respond better to treatment than patients with low renin Levels.
