Pharmacological evaluation of new alkylesters of 4-[(2-hydroxy-3-alkylamino)propoxy]phenylcarbamic acids with beta-adrenolytic properties.

The basic relationship between the chemical structure and pharmacological activities of new alkylesters of 4-[(2-hydroxy-3-alkylamino)propoxy]phenylcarbamic acids were evaluated. The efficiency of compounds was compared with those of metipranolol and practolol, respectively. The majority of 4-substituted derivatives of aryloxypropanolamines have shown antiisoprenaline (beta-adrenolytic) and local anesthetic (membrane stabilizing) activities. The values of LD50 and/or partition coefficients have not differed significantly when compared with those of standard metipranolol.
