Term Name:	esmolol
Synonyms:	(+-)-esmolol, (+-)-methyl p-(2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylamino)propoxy)hydrocinnamate, 3-[4-(2-Hydroxy-3-isopropylamino-propoxy)-phenyl]-propionic acid methyl ester, ESMOLOL, esmololum, Methyl 4-(2-hydroxy-3-((1-methylethyl)amino)propoxy)benzenepropanoate, methyl p-(2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylamino)propoxy)hydrocinnamate, rac-methyl 3-{4-[2-hydroxy-3-(propan-2-ylamino)propoxy]phenyl}propanoate
Definition:	A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-esmolol. A cardioselective and short-acting beta1 receptor blocker with rapid onset but lacking intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilising properties, it is used as the hydrochloride salt in the management of supraventricular arrhythmias, and for the control of hypertension and tachycardia during surgery. While the S enantiomer possesses all of the heart rate control, both enantiomers contribute to lowering blood pressure.
