propranolol and Adrenocortical Carcinoma

propranolol has been researched along with Adrenocortical Carcinoma in 1 studies

Propranolol: A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.
propranolol : 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.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma: A malignant neoplasm of the ADRENAL CORTEX. Adrenocortical carcinomas are unencapsulated anaplastic (ANAPLASIA) masses sometimes exceeding 20 cm or 200 g. They are more likely to be functional than nonfunctional, and produce ADRENAL CORTEX HORMONES that may result in hypercortisolism (CUSHING SYNDROME); HYPERALDOSTERONISM; and/or VIRILISM.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The human adrenocortical carcinoma cell line NCI H295, which is not contaminated by medullary chromaffin cells, was used to aid distinction between a direct action of VIP on adrenocortical cells and an indirect mechanism involving VIP-stimulated release of catecholamines."1.30Direct stimulation of cortisol secretion from the human NCI H295 adrenocortical cell line by vasoactive intestinal polypeptide. ( Cobb, VJ; Mason, JI; Walker, SW; Williams, BC, 1997)
