Substance Overview and History

Introduced by Van de Water et al. in 1988 as a third generation beta blocker Nebivolol has become well known for its impact, on β1 receptors and distinct vasodilatory characteristics It received FDA approval in 2007 for treating hypertension. Nebivolol is distinguished by its side effect profile which makes it ideal for patients, with mild obstructive pulmonary disease and a low likelihood of erectile dysfunction. Studies discovered its benefits, against uveal melanoma tumors and demonstrated how it plays a double role in maintaining heart health while opening up new paths, in cancer treatment.
