propranolol and Porphyrias

propranolol has been researched along with Porphyrias in 24 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.

Porphyrias: A diverse group of metabolic diseases characterized by errors in the biosynthetic pathway of HEME in the LIVER, the BONE MARROW, or both. They are classified by the deficiency of specific enzymes, the tissue site of enzyme defect, or the clinical features that include neurological (acute) or cutaneous (skin lesions). Porphyrias can be hereditary or acquired as a result of toxicity to the hepatic or erythropoietic marrow tissues.

"DL-Propranolol was shown to reduce the elevated urinary excretion of porphyrins and their precursors in a patient with variegate porphyria and to improve the patient's symptoms during attacks of the disease."7.65Reduction of porphyrin excretion in porphyria variegata by propranolol. A case report. ( Atsmon, A; Blum, I, 1976)
"Treatment with propranolol hydrochloride (Deralin [Israel]; Inderal, comparable US product) intravenously administered in a total dose of 284 mg during a period of 18 hours, was followed by clinical remission associated with a decline in urinary excretion of porphyrin precursors."5.26Treatment of acute intermittent porphyria with large doses of propranolol. ( Atsmon, A; Douer, D; Pinkhas, J; Weinberger, A, 1978)
"Propranolol, when given in high dosage to rats, did not induce an increase in hepatic delta-aminolaevulic acid synthetase, an enzyme which is raised in human and drug-induced animal porphyria."5.25Acute intermittent porphyria: response of tachycardia and hypertension to propranolol. ( Beattie, AD; Goldberg, A; Moore, MR; Ward, RL, 1973)
