Labetalol (Normodyne, Trandate, fixed combination with hydrochlorothiazide: Normozyde) is a mixed alpha/beta adrenergic antagonist, which is used to treat high blood pressure.[1]

Contents

Indications

It has a particular indication in the treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension which is commonly associated with pre-eclampsia.[2]

It is also used to treat chronic and acute hypertension of pheochromocytoma and hypertensive crisis.[3]

Administration

Labetalol is available in 100, 200, and 300 mg tablets and intravenously (only as Trandate) in 5 mg/ml solution. Adults taking tablets usually start with 100 mg twice daily, with a maximum of 2.4 g/day. In cases of emergency dosage might be higher. IV doses are usually started at 20 mg over 2 minutes. Additional doses of 40 mg, then 80 mg may be administered every ten minutes as needed. Additional 80 mg doses can be given to a total maximum dose of 300 mg. Additionally, labetalol can be administered by IV infusion at a rate of 2 mg/minute, with a maximum dose of 300 mg.

Side effects

Side effects may include:

Contraindications

Labetalol has relative contraindications for use in patients with asthma, congestive heart failure, any degree of heart block, bradycardia, or those in cardiogenic shock.

Chemistry

For adrenergic agents, when the substituent on the amine nitrogen is greater in size than a t-butyl group, then the molecule typically is found to have receptor affinity without intrinsic activity, and is therefore an antagonist.[5] Labetalol has two chiral carbons and therefore exists as four stereoisomers.[6]. Two of these isomers, the (S,S)- and (R,S)- forms are inactive. The third, the (S,R)-isomer, is a powerful α1 blocker. The fourth isomer, the (R,R)-isomer, is a mixed nonselective β blocker and selective α1 blocker.

Labetolol acts by blocking alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, resulting in decreased peripheral vascular resistance without significant alteration of heart rate or cardiac output. The β:α antagonism of labetalol is approximately 3:1.[3][7]

Labetalol, 2-hydroxy-5-[1-hydroxy-2-[(1-methyl-3-phenylpropanol)amino)]ethyl] benzamide is synthesized by the N-alkylation of N-benzyl-N(4-phenyl-2-butyl)amine 5-bromacetylsalicylamide and forming the aminoketone, which is further debenzylated by hydrogen using a palladium–platinum on carbon catalyst into labetalol. Presumably the ketone is also reduced in this last step.
