Xamoterol, sold under the brand names Corwin, Carwin, Corwil, and Xamtol among others, is a cardiac stimulant which is used in the treatment of heart failure.[2] It acts as a selective partial agonist of the β1-adrenergic receptor with around 50% intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA) (i.e., intrinsic activity).[1][3][4][2] The drug has no significant β2-adrenergic receptor agonistic activity.[5] Xamoterol provides cardiac stimulation at rest but acts as a blocker during exercise.[6] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Xamoterol is not available in the United States.[7][8] It is marketed in the United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, and Luxembourg.[8]

Xamoterol is a hydrophilic compound with a predicted log P of -0.31 to -1.11.[9][10][11][12] Due to its hydrophilicity, xamoterol does not cross the blood–brain barrier and has no central nervous system effects.[12] Hence, it is a peripherally selective drug.[12]
