Used primarily in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions, this compound functions as a beta-adrenergic receptor blocker with selective activity. It is especially effective in managing hypertension and chronic heart failure due to its ability to reduce heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand. The compound’s stereochemistry enhances its affinity for cardiac receptors, improving therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects. Its oxalate salt form increases stability and bioavailability, making it suitable for oral dosage forms. Additionally, it may be used in the management of angina pectoris and certain arrhythmias.
