Carvedilol, sold under the brand name Coreg among others, is a beta blocker medication, that may be prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (also known as HFrEF or systolic heart failure). Beta-blockers as a collective medication class are not recommended as routine first-line treatment of high blood pressure for all patients, due to evidence demonstrating less effective cardiovascular protection and a less favourable safety profile when compared to other classes of blood pressure-lowering medications.

Bevantolol (INN) was a drug candidate for angina and hypertension that acted as both a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker. It was discovered and developed by Warner-Lambert but in January 1989 the company announced that it had withdrawn the New Drug Application; the company's chairman said: "Who needs the 30th beta blocker?" it wasn't marketed in the US, UK, or Europe and the authors of a Cochrane review could find no product monograph for it.

Epanolol is a beta blocker. developed by Imperial Chemical Industries. ==Synthesis== upright=2 The ester methyl 4-benzyloxyphenylacetate (1) is treated with ethylenediamine to give the amide (3). Separately, 2-cyanophenol (4) is reacted with epichlorohydrin and sodium hydroxide to produce the benzonitrile derivative (5). Combination of (3) and (5) by heating in propanol gives (6). Lastly, catalytic hydrogenation removes the benzyl protecting group and yields epanolol.

Landiolol, sold under the brand names Onoact, Rapibloc®, Sibboran® and Rapiblyk® among others, is a medication used for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter in perioperative, postoperative or other circumstances where short-term control of the ventricular rate with a short-acting agent is desirable. With the exception of the USA, landiolol is also indicated for non-compensatory sinus tachycardia where, in the physician's judgment, the rapid heart rate requires specific intervention. It is a β-adrenergic blocker; an ultra short-acting, β1-super-
