Carvedilol phosphate

Carvedilol Phosphate is the phosphate salt form of carvedilol, a racemic mixture and adrenergic blocking agent with antihypertensive activity and devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. The S enantiomer of carvedilol nonselectively binds to and blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, thereby exerting negative inotropic and chronotropic effects, and leading to a reduction in cardiac output. Additionally, both enantiomers of carvedilol bind to and block alpha 1-adrenergic receptors, thereby causing vasodilation and reducing peripheral vascular resistance. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Beta blockers. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Coregcr and Carvedilol phosphate hemihydrate. Its PubChem CID is 11954344.
