Identification
- Generic Name
- PW2101
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB06483
- Background
PW2101 is a beta blocker intended for the treatment of hypertension and angina. The drug was developed by Penwest Pharmaceuticals and in 2005 the FDA issues a Non-Approval letter due to the degree of kinetic variability of PW2101 observed among individuals. The development of PW2101 has since been discontinued.

- Mechanism of action
Beta blockers block the action of endogenous catecholamines (epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) in particular), on β-adrenergic receptors, part of the sympathetic nervous system which mediates the fight or flight response. Beta blockers inhibit these normal epinephrine-mediated sympathetic actions, but have minimal effect on resting subjects. The antihypertensive mechanism appears to involve: reduction in cardiac output (due to negative chronotropic and inotropic effects), reduction in renin release from the kidneys, and a central nervous system effect to reduce sympathetic activity (for those beta-blockers that do cross the blood-brain barrier, e.g. Propranolol). Antianginal effects result from negative chronotropic and inotropic effects, which decrease cardiac workload and oxygen demand.

- General Function
- Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor binds epinephrine and norepinephrine with approximately equal affinity. Mediates Ras activation through G(s)-alpha- and cAMP-mediated signaling. Involved in the regulation of sleep/wake behaviors (PubMed:31473062).
