14‐Hydroxypropranolol, a metabolite produced after oral administration of propranolol, has been shown to be a β‐adrenoceptor blocking drug. It is of similar potency to propranolol in antagonizing the effects of isoprenaline on heart rate and blood pressure in cats and against isoprenaline protection of guinea‐pigs from bronchospasm. It is not cardioselective.2In rats depleted of catecholamine 4‐hydroxypropranolol produced an increase in heart rate, suggesting that it has intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.3In anaesthetized dogs 4‐hydroxypropranolol produced a decrease in heart rate anddP/dtand an increase in A‐V conduction time at doses within the range 0·09–1·25 mg/kg. These effects are a result of β‐adrenoceptor blockade. In dogs depleted of catecholamines these same doses produced an increase in heart rate anddP/dtand a decrease in A‐V conduction time. These responses were antagonized by propranolol, and were due to the intrinsic sympathomimetic activity of the compound. At higher doses (5·25 and 13·25 mg/kg) a further dose dependent decrease in heart rate anddP/dtand an increase in A‐V conduction time occurred. This trend was also seen in animals depleted of catecholamines. These changes represent membrane stabilizing activity of 4‐hydroxypropranolol.44‐Hydroxypropranolol is a potent β‐adrenoceptor blocking drug with both intrinsic sympathomimetic activity and membrane stabilizing activity.
