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.

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.
To evaluate the effects of topical carteolol or timolol on tissue circulation in the iris and posterior choroid. After a topical instillation of 20 microl of 2% carteolol, 0.5% timolol, or physiological saline (for control) into one eye, and physiological
The first goal of medical therapy in glaucoma is to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), and the fixed-combination medications are needed to achieve sufficiently low target IOP. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate IOP-lowering effect of
Therapeutic options for superficial infantile hemangiomas (IH) are limited. Recently, timolol maleate gel, a topical nonselective beta-blocker, has been reported as a potentially effective treatment for superficial IH. This study is an extension of a previously published pilot study designed
Journal of ocular pharmacology, 8(3), 183-190 (1992-01-01)
An ocular hypertensive rabbit eye model was used to study the effect of L- and D-timolol on retinal and choroidal blood flow. Ocular hypertension was induced artificially by raising the intraocular pressure to 40 mmHg which reduced the ocular blood
Optic nerve atrophy caused by abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the most common cause of irreversible loss of vision worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine whether topically applied IOP-lowering eye drugs affect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and
