Metoprolol fumarate

Metoprolol Fumarate is the fumarate salt form of metoprolol, a cardioselective competitive beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist with antihypertensive properties and devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Metoprolol antagonizes beta 1-adrenergic receptors in the myocardium, thereby reducing the rate and force of myocardial contraction, and consequently a diminished cardiac output. This agent may also reduce the secretion of renin with subsequent reduction in levels of angiotensin II thereby preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Antianginals and Beta blockers. Its therapeutic use is listed as cardiovascular. The directory classifies it as a unknown/inactive API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Lopresor OROS and Metoprolol hemifumarate. Its PubChem CID is 6440651.
