More specifically, it is a selective type β1 [[adrenergic receptor]] blocker <ref>[http://www.fass.se/LIF/produktfakta/artikel_produkt.jsp?NplID=20040326000029&DocTypeID=7&UserTypeID=2 FASS (Swedish official drug catalog) (labeling as "Selektiv beta1-blockerare" = selective beta1-blocker)]</ref>. == Pharmacology and biochemistry == === β1 Selectivity === In comparison with other β1-selective [[beta blockers|β-blockers]] ([[atenolol]], [[metoprolol]], [[betaxolol]]) Bisoprolol proved to be the compound with the highest β1-selectivity in all in vitro and in vivo experiments and in all animal species investigated<ref>Harting J et al.

Bisoprolol reduced the blood pressure in conscious dogs with renal hypertension, accompanied by only a slight decrease in heart rate. In comparison with bisoprolol, propranolol had a weaker antihypertensive effect even at a considerably higher dose level <ref>Harting J et al. Pharmacodynamic profile of the selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist bisoprolol. Arzneimittel-Forsch 1986; 36: 200.</ref>. Bisoprolol also reduced the blood pressure in rats with renal hypertension. In rats with spontaneous hypertension, the development of high blood pressure could be clearly reduced by chronic treatment with 7.5ug/ kg bisoprolol <ref>Harting J et al. Pharmacodynamic profile of the selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist bisoprolol. Arzneimittel-Forsch 1986; 36: 200.</ref>. === Cardioprotection === Myocardial ischaemia was induced by coronary occlusion in anaesthetised open-chest dogs. The changes in the epicardial ECG typical of myocardial hypoxia (ST segment elevation) were attenuated by bisoprolol. A dose of 4 μg bisoprolol per kg i.v. inhibited the ST segment elevation, induced by coronary occlusion, by 60%. This cardioprotective effect of bisoprolol was still present 40 minutes after injection <ref>Harting J et al. Pharmacodynamic profile of the selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist bisoprolol. Arzneimittel-Forsch 1986; 36: 200.</ref>. === Renin-angiotensin system === Bisoprolol inhibits basal and stimulated renin secretion. The release of renin was inhibited by about 65% and tachycardia by about 35% <ref>Harting J et al. Pharmacodynamic profile of the selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist bisoprolol. Arzneimittel-Forsch 1986; 36: 200.</ref>. === Duration of action === Bisoprolol has a long duration of action. The duration of action of bisoprolol was investigated in anaesthetised guinea pigs after i.v. administration; the inhibition of isoprenaline-induced tachycardia was measured at various times after the administration of the b-blocker. The drop in the action duration curve was flatter for bisoprolol than for propranolol <ref>Harting J et al. Pharmacodynamic profile of the selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist bisoprolol. Arzneimittel-Forsch 1986; 36: 200.</ref>. The results indicate a long duration of action for bisoprolol. === Pharmacology of side-effects === The performed animal experimental investigations indicated for bisoprolol no unexpected or serious side-effects. Even at high doses [30 and 100mg/ kg, single oral administration (rats)], the sedative effects ascribed to b-blockers are less marked with bisoprolol than, for instance, with propranolol. Glucose tolerance was investigated in rats and was only slightly reduced at very high doses of bisoprolol, whereas it was considerably reduced with comparable doses of propranolol <ref>Lettenbaur H. EMD 33 512 (Bisoprolol): Prüfung der Wirkung auf die Serumglukosekonzentration an Ratten im Vergleich zu Propranolol. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, 1979.</ref>. Bisoprolol did not influence the lipid metabolism of adult normolipemic rats after repeated administration nor was there any quantitative change in the serum lipoprotein pattern in young hyperlipemic rats with increased plasma cholesterol and decreased alpha-lipoprotein. == Pharmacokinetics == === Bioavailability === The bioavailability of bisoprolol from film-coated tablets is about 90%. === Distribution === Only 30% of the bisoprolol in the blood is bound to plasma proteins <ref>Bühring KU et al. Pharmacokinetics and metabolism of bisoprolol-C14 in three animal species and in humans. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 1986; 8 (Suppl 11): 21.</ref> === Metabolisation and excretion === Bisoprolol is removed from the plasma via two equally effective routes of clearance – half of the dose is metabolised to inactive metabolites in the liver and the other half is excreted as the unchanged substance via the kidneys. [[Image:Clearance_of_bisoprolol.jpg]] === Elimination half-life === Bisoprolol is removed from the plasma with a half-life of 10-12 hours <ref>Leopold G. Balanced pharmacokinetics and metabolism of bisoprolol.

Patients with compensated [[congestive heart failure]] may be treated with Bisoprolol as a comedication (usually together with an [[ACE inhibitor]], a [[diuretic]] and a [[digitalis]]-glycosid, if indicated). In patients with congestive heart failure, it reduces the need for and the consumption of [[oxygen]] of the heart muscle. It is very important to start with low doses, as bisoprolol reduces also the muscular power of the heart, which is an undesired effect in congestive heart failure. The drug is also used to treat other conditions, including [[dysautonomia]], [[anxiety]] and [[hyperthyroidism]] (overfunction of the [[thyroid]] gland). Bisoprolol will give a positive result in [[doping test]]s. <ref>[[Ratiopharm]] packing slip, dated 03.08.2006</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} {{beta blockers}} [[Category:Beta blockers]] [[de:Bisoprolol]] [[hr:Bisoprolol]] [[hu:Bizoprolol]] [[nl:Bisoprolol]] [[pl:Bisoprolol]] [[ru:Бисопролол]] [[fi:Bisoprololi]] [[uk:Бісопролол]]
