Product Description

Timolol Maleate (Optimol; Timacar; L714,465; MK-950; Betimol, Blocadren, Istalol, Timoptic), the maleate salt of timolol, is a non-selective β/beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist with antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic, antiangina, and antiglaucoma activities. It has a Kis of 1.97 nM/2.0 nM and inhibits β1/β2 adrenergic receptors. Timolol functions similarly to propranolol as a beta-adrenergic antagonist. More activity is found in the levo-isomer. It has been suggested that timolol works as an antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic, anti-angina, and antiglaucoma drug. The World Health Organization has compiled a list of essential medicines, or those that are absolutely necessary in a basic health system, which includes timol maleate.

ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Timolol Maleate functions similarly to propranolol as a beta-adrenergic antagonist. The more active is the levo-isomer. Timolol has been suggested as an agent to treat glaucoma, angina, antihypertensive, and antiarrhythmic. Timolol is a non-selective antagonist of beta-adrenergic receptors, just like propranolol and nadolol. In the human atrium, timolol has a greater affinity for the beta 2-adrenoceptor than the beta 1-adrenoceptor. Timolol has a relatively high degree of lipid solubility but lacks significant intrinsic sympathomimetic, direct myocardial depressant, or local anesthetic (membrane-stabilizing) activity. When timolol is applied topically to the eye, it can lower both normal and elevated intraocular pressure, whether or not glaucoma is present. In the pathophysiology of glaucomatous visual field loss and optic nerve damage, elevated intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor. Timolol, similar to propranolol and nadolol, competes with catecholamines and other adrenergic neurotransmitters for binding at β1-adrenergic receptors located in the heart and vascular smooth muscle, as well as β2-receptors found in the bronchial and vascular smooth muscle. β1-receptor blockade lowers blood pressure both systolic and diastolic, reduces cardiac output and heart rate at rest and during exercise, and may also lessen reflex orthostatic hypotension. Peripheral vascular resistance rises when β2-blockade is applied. Timolol lowers ocular pressure, but the precise mechanism underlying this effect is still unknown. The most likely course of action is to reduce aqueous humor secretion.

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.

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.

*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.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
