What is Propranolol?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Propranolol is a propanolamine that is propan-2-ol substituted by a propan-2-ylamino group at position 1 and a naphthalen-1-yloxy group at position 3. It has a role as an anxiolytic drug, a beta-adrenergic antagonist, a vasodilator agent, an antihypertensive agent, a xenobiotic, an anti-arrhythmia drug, an environmental contaminant and a human blood serum metabolite. It is a member of naphthalenes, a secondary amine and a propanolamine. It is functionally related to a 1-naphthol.
