Animal work has shown that carvedilol is a nonselective beta-blocking drug. It has a vasodilator action from alpha-receptor blockade, but there is evidence that it has further action to relax smooth muscle, possibly from calcium channel antagonism. Carvedilol is lipid soluble and 25% bioavailable, a
As part of a clinical trial of cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and leucovorin (LV) for treatment of patients with advanced head and neck cancer, patients received 100 mg of LV (d,I-5-formyltetrahydrofolate) orally every 4 hours for 5 days. On days 2 and 4 of treatment, plasma samples were obtained
Cyclic phosphatidic acid (CPA) is a naturally occurring analog of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in which the sn-2 hydroxy group forms a five-membered ring with the sn-3 phosphate. Here, we describe the synthesis of R-3-CCPA and S-3-CCPA along with their pharmacological properties as inhibitors of lyso
Carvedilol, a new beta-blocker with vasodilating properties due to alpha 1-blockade, was investigated in preparations of human ventricular myocardium. Carvedilol demonstrated a high affinity and is a slightly beta 1-selective competitive beta-blocking agent, with a KD for beta 1-receptors of approxi
The rationale for the combined use of beta-adrenoceptor antagonists and vasodilators is to improve the efficacy of the antihypertensive therapy and to reduce the incidence of side effects. If suitable coagents are selected and used at appropriate doses, the disadvantages of each separate component (
