β1 adrenoceptor |
Metoprolol (0-1000 μg/mL; 24-72 h) shows cytotoxic effect on U937 and MOLT-4 cells dose and time dependently[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:U937 and MOLT-4 cells
-
Concentration:1, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 μg/mL
-
Incubation Time:24, 48 and 72 h
-
Result:Significantly decreased the viability of U937 and MOLT-4 cells at 1000 μg/mL (3740.14µM) concentration after 48 hours incubation time, significantly reduced the viability of U937 cells at ≥500 μg/ml (≥1870.07µM) concentrations after 72 hours incubation time, and significantly decreased the viability of MOLT4 cells at ≥100 μg/ml (≥374.01µM) concentrations after 72 hours incubation.
Metoprolol (15 mg/kg/q12h; i.g.; 5 days) shows anti-inflammation and anti-virus effects in murine model with coxsackievirus B3-induced viral myocarditis[2].
Metoprolol (2.5 mg/kg; i.v.; 3 bolus injections) significantly decreased activated caspase-9 protein expression and inhibits myocardial apoptosis in coronary microembolization (CME) rats[4].

-
Animal Model:Male ApoE−/− mice[1]
-
Dosage:2.5 mg/kg/h
-
Administration:Via osmotic minipumps, 11 weeks
-
Result:Significantly reduced atherosclerotic plaque area in thoracic aorta, reduced serum TNFα and the chemokine CXCL1 as well as decreasing the macrophage content in the plaques.
-
Animal Model:Balb/c mice, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) induced viral myocarditis (VMC) model[2]
-
Dosage:15 mg/kg/q12h
-
Administration:Oral gavage, 5 consecutive days
-
Result:Reduced pathological scores of VMC induced by CVB3 infection, protected the myocardium against viral damage by reducing serum cTn-I levels. Decreased the levels of myocardial pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine. Significantly decreased myocardial virus titers.

Quantification of immunofluorescence staining of phosphorylated-GSK3β in NRCFs. The ratio of phosphorylated protein to total protein reflects the activation of signaling pathways. NRCFs were starved for 24h. Mig and Metoprolol (Met: 10 μM) were added ahead for 1h, then ISO was added for 24h. Met was used as positive control.
