Methyl maslinate is a β-adrenergic antagonist. Methyl maslinate is a potent cardiotonic and antidysrhythmic agent. Methyl maslinate has the potential for hypertension research.
Methyl maslinate (MM) (20-60 mg/kg; i.p.) shows significant, dose-dependent vasodepressor effect and sinus bradycardia, lasting more than 60 minutes with a maximum at 20 minutes, and shows potent hymodynamic effect[1].
Methyl maslinate (40 mg/kg) shows antidysrhythmic activity on ischemia-reperfusion dysrhythmia[1].
