Carvedilol produced a dose-dependent inhibition of superoxide (O2-) release from human neutrophils (PMNs) (IC50 = 28 microM) and scavenged O2- generated during dihydroxyfumaric acid (DHF) autooxidation (IC50 = 41 microM). Other beta-blockers, such as celiprolol, labetalol and atenolol, or the antioxidant, 'lazaroid', U74500A had no effect on O2- either released from PMNs or generated during DHF autooxidation. Propranolol, at 0.3 mM, inhibited O2- release from PMNs (73%) but failed to scavenge O2- generated from DHF. The novel free radical-scavenging effect of carvedilol may contribute to the cardioprotective activity of the compound.
