| Targets |
Espindolol targets β1, β2, and β3 adrenergic receptors, acting as a non-selective β-adrenoceptor antagonist with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA). It also targets the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor, acting as an agonist. This dual mechanism distinguishes Espindolol from other β-blockers and may contribute to its effects on heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolism.

| ln Vitro |
l-Pindolol (1 nM-100 μM) reduces the supermaximal CA1 pyramidal cells caused by 100 nM 5-CT with an IC50 value of 92 nM [1]. l-Pindolol (500 nM and 1 μM) blocks 5-toluidine tryptamine (5-CT; 10 nM) and 5-hydroxyamine tryptamine (5-HT; 15 μM) by detecting 5-CT and 5-HT on CA1 pyramidal cells. With an IC50 value of 522 nM, l-Pindolol (1 nM-100 μM) suppresses the supraminimal proliferation of CA3 neurons generated by 300 nM 5-CT[1].
In vitro, Espindolol acts as a non-selective β-adrenoceptor antagonist with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. It also activates 5-HT1A receptors. The compound modulates adrenergic and serotonergic signaling pathways. Specific IC50 or EC50 values for receptor binding and activation are available from pharmacological studies. |
| ln Vivo |
In brain regions where 5-HT1A receptors are present, [3H]-WAY 100635 accumulation was decreased by l-pindolol (15 mg/kg; i.p., repaired prior to [3H]-WAY 100635 injection).
In vivo, Espindolol has been investigated for the treatment of heart failure and cachexia. Its β-blockade with ISA reduces heart rate and cardiac workload while maintaining some sympathetic tone. The 5-HT1A agonism may contribute to metabolic effects and appetite regulation. Espindolol has shown efficacy in improving symptoms and outcomes in preclinical and clinical studies. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro receptor binding assay for Espindolol involves measuring its affinity for β1, β2, β3 adrenergic receptors and 5-HT1A serotonin receptors. Radiolabeled ligand binding assays are performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing these receptors. Varying concentrations of Espindolol are incubated with the receptor preparation, and binding affinity (IC50 or Ki) is determined. The compound's intrinsic sympathomimetic activity is assessed by measuring cAMP accumulation.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for Espindolol involve treating cultured cardiomyocytes or neuronal cells with varying concentrations of the compound. β-adrenoceptor activation is assessed by measuring cAMP levels. 5-HT1A receptor activation is assessed by measuring downstream signaling. The compound's effects on cell viability, contractility, and metabolic parameters are evaluated.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Sprague Dawley rat [1]
Doses: 15 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; [3H]-WAY 100635 15 mg/kg before injection, 20 minutes acute treatment or 24 hrs (hrs (hours)), 16 hrs (hrs (hours)) and 20 minutes Short-term treatment Experimental Results: [3H]-WAY 100635 accumulation was diminished in brain regions containing 5-HT1A receptors, but had no effect on the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions. In vivo animal experiments for Espindolol typically use rodent models of heart failure or cachexia. The compound is administered orally at various doses. Cardiac function is assessed by echocardiography. Body weight, food intake, and metabolic parameters are monitored. The compound's effects on survival, cardiac remodeling, and cachexia are evaluated. Specific protocols are available from preclinical studies. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Espindolol has been characterized in preclinical pharmacokinetic studies. As a small molecule β-blocker with 5-HT1A agonism, it is expected to have oral bioavailability and reasonable tissue distribution. The compound has a molecular weight of 248.32 (C15H20N2O2). Specific PK parameters including half-life, Cmax, and metabolic pathways are available from preclinical studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Espindolol has been evaluated in clinical trials for heart failure and cachexia. As a β-blocker, potential adverse effects may include bradycardia, hypotension, and fatigue. The compound's ISA may reduce the risk of excessive bradycardia. The 5-HT1A agonism may contribute to gastrointestinal effects. Complete toxicology data are available from the compound's clinical development program.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.07 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
