ChEBI Name nebivolol
ChEBI ID CHEBI:64022
Definition A racemate consisting of equal amounts of (R,S,S,S)-nebivolol and (S,R,R,R)-nebivolol. A cardioselective beta blocker, it has vasodilatory activity but lacks intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilising activity. It is used as the hydrochloride salt for the management of hypertension, and as an adjunct to standard therapy in elderly patients with stable chronic heart failure.

Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): beta-adrenergic antagonist
An agent that binds to but does not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of endogenous or exogenous beta-adrenergic agonists. beta-Adrenergic antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches and anxiety.
Application(s): beta-adrenergic antagonist
An agent that binds to but does not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of endogenous or exogenous beta-adrenergic agonists. beta-Adrenergic antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches and anxiety.
vasodilator agent
A drug used to cause dilation of the blood vessels.
antihypertensive agent
Any drug used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular hypertension regardless of pharmacological mechanism.
geroprotector
Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
