Pathway Description
Propranolol Action Pathway
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Propranolol, a non-cardioselective beta blocker, inhibits sympathetic stimulation by competing with neurotransmitters like catecholamines to bind beta(1)-adrenergic receptors of the heart and vascular smooth muscle. Propranolol binding reduces resting heart rate, cardiac output, blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension. Propranolol also reduce sympathetic activity to manage hyperthyroidism, anxiety and tremor. Propranolol also competes for beta(2)-adrenergic receptors on bronchial and vascular smooth muscles.
