QUICK LINKS
Metoprolol Acid Ethyl Ester is a chemical compound that functions as a prodrug of metoprolol, a selective β1 receptor blocker. It is used to investigate the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of metoprolol. Once administered, Metoprolol Acid Ethyl Ester is metabolized to produce metoprolol, which then acts as a competitive antagonist at β1 adrenergic receptors in the heart and vascular smooth muscle. This mechanism of action results in a decrease in heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure. At the molecular level, Metoprolol Acid Ethyl Ester is converted to metoprolol by esterases in the blood and tissues, allowing for the study of the conversion process and the subsequent pharmacological effects of metoprolol.
