It is a racemic mixture and the beta 1 properties reside in the S (-) enantiomer. Beta 1 -selectivity decreases with increasing dose. The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect has not been established. Among the factors that may be involved are: (a) competitive ability to antagonize catecholamine-induced tachycardia at the beta-receptor sites in the heart, thus decreasing cardiac output (b) inhibition of renin release by the kidneys (c) inhibition of the vasomotor centres The mechanism of the anti-anginal effect is also uncertain. An important factor may be the reduction of myocardial oxygen requirements by blocking catecholamine-induced increases in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and the velocity and extent of myocardial contraction. In man atenolol reduces both isoproterenol-and exercise-induced increases in heart rate over the dose range of 50 to 200 mg. At an oral dose of 100 mg the beta 1 -blocking effects persist for at least 24 hours; the reduction in exercise-induced heart rate increase being about 32% and 13%, 2 and 24 hours after dosing, respectively. The logarithm of the plasma atenolol level correlates with the degree of beta 1 -blockade but not with the antihypertensive effect.
