Metipranolol (Betamann) is a type of β- Adrenergic receptors（ β- A potent antagonist of adrenergic receptor on guinea pig atria β 1- Adrenergic receptors and rat uterus β The 2-adrenergic receptor exhibited the beta blocking potentials (pA2) of 8.3 and 8.4, respectively. It is also a potent substituent in the 3H DHA binding assay, with a ligand concentration of 0.7 nM and a Ki of 39 ± 24 nM.

β2-adrenoceptor:8.4 (pA2), β1-adrenoceptor:8.3 (pA2)

Metipranolol applied as eye drops promoted cone photoreceptor function in retinas of rd10 mice greater than subcutaneously injected metipranolol.?The reduced nitrosative damage and rescue of functional loss of photoreceptors in rd10 mice suggests that metipranolol, a drug with established ocular safety and tolerability, may have potential for treating patients with retinitis pigmentosa[1].
