Description
(extracted from source data)
PHARMACODYNAMICS It acts by relaxing smooth muscle in the bronchial tubes to increase air flow and relieve acute shortness of breath.
MOA β2 adrenergic receptors on airway smooth muscle are Gs coupled and their activation by levosalbutamol leads to activation of adenylate cyclase and to an increase in the intracellular concentration of 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). Increased cyclic AMP activates protein kinase A which itself inhibits the phosphorylation of myosin produces lower intracellular ionic calcium concentrations, inducing muscle relaxation. Increased cyclic AMP concentrations are also associated with the inhibition of the release of mediators from mast cells in the airways, potentially contributing to its benefit in asthma attacks.
INDICATION Indicated for the management of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as chronic obstructive lung disease) and asthma.
DESCRIPTION Levosalbutamol is a short-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonist used in anti-asthma medications. Structurally it is the R enantiomer of the racemic mixture that has the INN . Levosalbutamol belongs to the 'short-acting beta-agonist' (SABA) drug family. (GtoPdb)

DESCRIPTION Levalbuterol tartrate is a short-acting ??2-adrenergic receptor agonist and the R enantiomer of salbutamol.
DESCRIPTION Levalbuterol is a short-acting beta 2 adrenergic agonist. Levalbuterol binds to beta 2 adrenergic receptors and activates intracellular adenyl cyclase to promote the convertion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). It is used to treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). (BOC Sciences Bioactive Compounds)
