Polymeric Propranolol Nanoparticles for Intraocular Delivery: Formulation, Characterization, and Vitreous Pharmacokinetics
CONCLUSION: PLGA NPs can prolong the existence of propranolol in both vitreous and posterior ocular tissues, and thus, may provide an effective approach in treatment of posterior segment neovascularization.PMID:38638633 | PMC:PMC11022021 | DOI:10.18502/jovr.v19i1.15436 (Source: Cell Research)

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Inhibitors for Treatment of Rosacea
While many treatments are available for papules and pustules of rosacea, few are available for erythema and flushing. The 2019 Global Rosacea Consensus Panel recommends general skincare, β-blockers (eg, propranolol and carvedilol), and α-adrenergic agents (eg, brimonidine and oxymetazoline) for flushing and vascular lasers for persistent erythema. Because these treatments may not always be effective or tolerated, there remains an unmet need for additional options that can address symptoms of flushing and erythema in rosacea.

Infantile hemangioma: the common and enigmatic vascular tumor
Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a benign vascular tumor that occurs in 5% of newborns. The tumor follows a life cycle of rapid proliferation in infancy, followed by slow involution in childhood. This unique life cycle has attracted the interest of basic and clinical scientists alike as a paradigm for vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and vascular regression. Unanswered questions persist about the genetic and molecular drivers of the proliferating and involuting phases. The beta blocker propranolol usually accelerates regression of problematic IHs, yet its mechanism of action on vascular proliferation and differentiation is unclea...

Elucidating the enhanced role of carbonate radical in propranolol degradation by UV/peroxymonosulfate system
Chemosphere. 2024 Apr 11:141985. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141985. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCarbonate radical (CO3•-) has been proved to be an important secondary radical in advanced oxidation processes due to various radical reactions involved HCO3-/CO32-. However, the roles and contributions of CO3•- in organic micropollutant degradation have not been explored systematically. Here, we quantified the impact of CO3•- on the degradation kinetics of propranolol, a representative pollutant in the UV/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system, by constructing a steady-state radical model. Substantially, the measured value...

Comparison of the efficacy of propranolol versus amitriptyline as monotherapy for prophylaxis of migraine
CONCLUSION: The average number of migraine attacks reduced in the amitriptyline and propranolol groups as the treatment duration increased. Amitriptyline is a popular medication with established effectiveness and manageable levels of negative side effects. It is the tricyclic antidepressant that is most frequently used to prevent headaches. When administered for migraine prevention, it generates a quick response within 3 months. Propranolol is less effective than amitriptyline at reducing the frequency, length, and severity of episodes.PMID:38605779 | PMC:PMC11006045 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_927_23 (Source: Primary Care)
