Butidrine (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name), sold under the brand names Betabloc, Butidrate, and Recetan among others, is a beta blocker (or β-adrenergic receptor antagonist) related to pronethalol[1] and propranolol[2] that was developed in the 1960s.[3][4] It is not cardioselective (i.e., is not selective for the β1-adrenergic receptor over the β2-adrenergic receptor).[5] It has membrane stabilizing activity but no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (i.e., partial agonist activity).[6] Similarly to certain other beta blockers, butidrine additionally possesses local anesthetic properties.[7]
