Timolol maleate has been used as an adrenergic β-blocker for evaluating cardiovascular functions in mice5. It has also been used for evaluating the uptake of 86Rb+ in rat cardiomyocytes6.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Timolol maleate is a class II anti-arrhythmic agent that functions as a non-selective β-adrenoceptor antagonist, a vasodilator and an anti-glaucoma agent. Studies have reported that timolol maleate can be used for the treatment of infantile hemangioma (IH)7.
ABSTRACT.: Malfunction of retinal blood flow or oxygenation is believed to be involved in various diseases. Among them are retinal vessel occlusions, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Reliable, non-invasive technology for retinal oxygen measurements has been scarce and most of the
The present study was undertaken to develop an improved and stabilized method for isolating cardiomyocytes from perfused rat heart. Different lots of the commercial collagenases used for isolating cardiomyocytes give variable results both with respect to the total cell yield
Timolol maleate 0.5% gel is a safe and effective medication for treating superficial infantile hemangiomas (IHs) in infants with a median age of 9 weeks. Forty-one infants who had superficial IHs without ulceration and not near mucosal surfaces were recruited

After an initial screening of ingredients and production methods, nanoemulsions for ocular administration of timolol containing the drug as maleate (TM) or as ion-pair with AOT (TM/AOT) were prepared. The physico-chemical characterization of nanoemulsions, regarding mean diameter, pH, zeta potential
