The drug acebutolol blocks the beta-adrenergic receptors present on the nerves of sympathetic nervous system and helps in treatment of ventricular arrhythmias and high blood pressure. Metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL), bisoprolol (Zebeta), nebivolol (Bystolic), esmolol (Brevibloc), celiprolol (Cardem), atenolol (Tenormin) and betaxolol (Betoptic) are some beta-adrenergic agents falling in the class to which acebutolol belongs. These beta-adrenergic blocking drugs block the work of neurotransmitters, epinephrine and norepinephrine and do not allow inter communication between the nerves. Jamming of beta-1 adrenergic receptors forces the heart to beat slowly and as a result, the heart pumps less amount of blood. Thus the oxygen requirement is reduced due to reduction in work. This results in improved heart pumping over a period of time.

Acebutolol and other drugs falling in its class vary from other beta-adrenergic blocking drugs as these are selective beta blockers. Only the beta-l receptor is blocked by these drugs while other beta-adrenergic blocking drugs block multiple beta-adrenergic receptors which are non selective. This feature is quite significant for patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. Treatment of these diseases require beta-adrenergic blocking drugs as blocking the non-beta-1 receptors could result in worsening of situation. In December 1984, the FDA approved the use of acebutolol.
