Xamoterol
Xamoterol (Corwin; ICI 118587) is an orally active and selective β1-adrenoceptor partial agonist. Xamoterol acts as agonist at low sympathetic tone, antagonist at high sympathetic tone, with context-dependent cardiovascular effects including modulated heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac output. Xamoterol can be used for the research of heart failure, postural hypotension, and ischemic heart disease.

Xamoterol (0.5 nM-50 μM; 2 min) produces weak β2-adrenoceptor-mediated relaxant effects in progesterone-pretreated rat uterus, and non-specific, non-β-adrenoceptor-mediated inhibitory effects in guinea-pig ileal and tracheal preparations, with no β-adrenoceptor-mediated activity in oestrogen-pretreated uterine or rat vas deferens preparations[2].
Xamoterol (70 min) displays selective affinity for β1-adrenoceptors, with a pKD of 7.25 in guinea-pig left atrial membranes (β1) and a pKD of 5.24 in guinea-pig uterine membranes (β2), representing a 100-fold preference for β1 sites[2].
Xamoterol (0.2 nM-6 μM) acts as a β1-selective partial agonist in isolated male AP rat right atria, producing a maximal rate stimulation response 65-70% that of isoprenaline with an EC50 of 4.67 nM[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Xamoterol (600 μg/kg/h; s.c.; continuous infusion; 6 days) does not induce cardiac β-adrenoceptor down-regulation or alter receptor-adenylate cyclase coupling in normal rats[3].
Xamoterol acts as a β1-adrenoceptor partial agonist in anaesthetised areflexic dogs, demonstrating 43% of isoprenaline's intrinsic sympathomimetic activity at β1-receptors without β2-receptor stimulation[5].

Result:Did not alter the density of total, β1, or β2 cardiac β-adrenoceptors compared to saline control; total Bmax was 17.2 fmol/mg protein (0% change from control), β1 Bmax was 11.8 fmol/mg protein (0% change), and β2 Bmax was 5.3 fmol/mg protein (+8.0% change, not significant).
Left the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of [125I]-pindolol binding unchanged at 38 pM.
Did not significantly modify the effect of Gpp(NH)p on isoprenaline displacement of [125I]-pindolol binding, indicative of β-adrenoceptor-adenylate cyclase coupling.
Resulted in a plasma xamoterol level of 161 nM at the end of the infusion.
