Product Description
4-Hydroxypropranolol HCl, the hydrochloride salt form of 4-Hydroxypropranolol, is an active metabolite of Propranolol, which is a blocker of β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors.


4-Hydroxypropranolol HCl (CAS#: 14133-90-5) is the hydrochloride salt of 4-hydroxypropranolol, a primary active metabolite of the non-selective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol. It is used as a reference standard for pharmacokinetic studies and drug metabolism research. This metabolite exhibits beta-blocking activity comparable to its parent drug and is formed via CYP2D6-mediated aromatic hydroxylation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
beta1- and beta2-Adrenergic Receptors. 4-Hydroxypropranolol acts as a non-selective competitive antagonist of beta1- and beta2-adrenergic receptors. It blocks the effects of endogenous catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine) at these receptors, leading to decreased heart rate, reduced cardiac output, lowered blood pressure, and bronchodilation. This metabolite also exhibits antioxidant properties at micromolar concentrations.
ln Vitro
4-Hydroxypropranolol blocks beta1-adrenergic receptors with a pA2 value of 8.24, indicating potency comparable to propranolol. It is approximately equipotent to the parent drug in inhibiting isoprenaline-induced tachycardia and vasodilation. It also possesses membrane-stabilizing (local anesthetic) activity and reduces platelet aggregation in vitro at therapeutic concentrations.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 4-hydroxypropranolol exhibits beta-blocking properties similar to propranolol in animal models. Intravenous administration antagonizes isoprenaline-induced increases in heart rate and blood pressure in rats and dogs with an ED50 of approximately 0.1-0.5 mg/kg. The metabolite contributes to the overall pharmacological effect of propranolol in humans, particularly after chronic oral dosing.
Enzyme Assay
Radioligand binding assays are performed using membrane preparations from CHO cells expressing human beta1- or beta2-adrenergic receptors. Membranes (20-50 microg protein) are incubated with [3H]-CGP-12177 as the radioligand and varying concentrations of 4-hydroxypropranolol in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) for 60 minutes at 25degC. Nonspecific binding is determined with 10 microM propranolol. Bound and free radioligands are separated by filtration through GF/B filters, and bound radioactivity is measured by liquid scintillation counting. IC50 values are converted to Ki using the Cheng-Prusoff equation.
Cell Assay
Isolated rat thoracic aorta rings (3-4 mm) are mounted in organ baths containing Krebs-Henseleit buffer (pH 7.4) at 37degC, bubbled with 95% O2/5% CO2. Rings are pre-contracted with 10-⁶ M phenylephrine to achieve stable tone, then cumulative concentration-response curves to isoprenaline (10-⁹ to 10-⁵ M) are generated in the absence or presence of 4-hydroxypropranolol (10-⁹ to 10-⁶ M, 30 min pre-incubation). Relaxation responses are recorded isometrically, and pA2 values are calculated by Schild plot analysis of the rightward shift in isoprenaline concentration-response curves.
Animal Protocol
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) are anesthetized with urethane (1.2 g/kg i.p.). The femoral artery is cannulated for mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) measurement, and the femoral vein is cannulated for drug administration. Isoprenaline (0.5 microg/kg i.v.) is administered as a bolus to induce tachycardia. After baseline responses are established, 4-hydroxypropranolol is administered intravenously (0.03-1 mg/kg), and the inhibition of isoprenaline-induced tachycardia is recorded. The ED50 for beta-blockade is determined from dose-response curves.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
4-Hydroxypropranolol is an active metabolite with high hepatic extraction. In humans, the plasma concentration of this metabolite is approximately 10-30% of the parent drug after oral propranolol administration. It has an elimination half-life of 2-4 hours, shorter than propranolol (4-6 hours). Due to significant first-pass metabolism, propranolol has an oral bioavailability of ~25%, and approximately 60% of an oral dose is recovered in urine as metabolites including 4-hydroxypropranolol.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
4-Hydroxypropranolol exhibits a safety profile comparable to propranolol. As a non-selective beta-blocker, it may cause bradycardia, hypotension, bronchospasm (contraindicated in asthma), and central nervous system effects including fatigue and depression. This compound is a research standard and not intended for human therapeutic use, so human toxicity data are limited to its role as a metabolite.

Additional Infomation
Propranolol was the first clinically useful beta-adrenoceptor antagonist and was approved by the FDA in 1967. 4-Hydroxypropranolol is primarily used in research as an analytical reference standard for drug metabolism studies, bioequivalence testing, and investigations of propranolol's pharmacokinetics. The compound is also valuable for studying the role of CYP2D6 polymorphisms in propranolol disposition and response.
