Antagonizing the beta-1 receptor blocks this from occurring. The G-protein signalling cascade activates protein kinase which activates calcium channels on the membrane, resulting in calcium influx. Low calcium is unable to activate the ryanodine receptor on the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Time Membrane potential (mV) -40mV (threshold) Pacemaker Action Potential Phase 0- depolarization Phase 3- repolarization Phase 4-spontaneous depolarization With oxprenolol Without oxprenolol Oxprenolol, by antagonizing beta-1 adrenergic receptors, decreases intracellular Ca2+. Phase 4 spontaneous depolarization is Ca2+ dependent, therefore propranolol decreases the slope of phase 4, increasing the time it takes for threshold to be reached and thus slows heart rate Cytosol Since calcium is linked to activation of muscle contraction. Reducing cytosolic calcium levels reduces muscle contraction Once Bevantolol reaches the heart, it antagonizes the beta-1 adrenergic receptor on the cell membrane of myocytes such that epinephrine stimulation of the heart is reduced. T-tubule Bevantolol is administered as an oral tablet
