  2. Long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-acting_beta...

    Long-acting β adrenoceptor agonists (LABAs) are beta-adrenergic agonists usually prescribed for moderate-to-severe persistent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). LABAs are designed to reduce the need for shorter-acting β 2 agonists such as salbutamol (albuterol), as they have an approximately twelve-hour duration of ...

  3. Discovery and development of beta2 agonists - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

    β 2 -adrenoceptor agonists are a group of drugs that act selectively on β 2 -receptors in the lungs causing bronchodilation. β 2 -agonists are used to treat asthma and COPD, diseases that cause obstruction in the airways. Prior to their discovery, the non-selective beta-agonist isoprenaline was used. The aim of the drug development through ...

  4. Anti-asthmatic agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-asthmatic_agent

    Anti-asthmatic agent. An anti-asthmatic agent, also known as an anti-asthma drug, refers to a drug that can aid in airway smooth muscle dilation to allow normal breathing during an asthma attack or reduce inflammation on the airway to decrease airway resistance for asthmatic patients, or both. The goal of asthmatic agents is to reduce asthma ...

  5. Formoterol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formoterol

    Formoterol. Formoterol, also known as eformoterol, is a long-acting β 2 agonist (LABA) used as a bronchodilator in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Formoterol has an extended duration of action (up to 12 h) compared to short-acting β 2 agonists such as salbutamol (albuterol), which are effective for 4 ...

  6. Beta-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-adrenergic_agonist

    Beta-adrenergic agonist. Beta adrenergic agonists or beta agonists are medications that relax muscles of the airways, causing widening of the airways and resulting in easier breathing. [1] They are a class of sympathomimetic agents, each acting upon the beta adrenoceptors. [2] In general, pure beta-adrenergic agonists have the opposite function ...

  7. Beta2-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta2-adrenergic_agonist

    Beta2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β2 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that act on the β 2 adrenergic receptor. Like other β adrenergic agonists, they cause smooth muscle relaxation. β 2 adrenergic agonists' effects on smooth muscle cause dilation of bronchial passages, vasodilation in muscle and liver, relaxation of ...
