Primary Targetβ-adrenergic agonist

General description

Phenethylamine derivative. Selective β-adrenergic agonist that increases cytosolic cAMP. Promotes glycogen breakdown and causes bronchodilation. Increases Cl^- diffusion and potential difference in rabbit trachea cells through nitric oxide generation.

Phenethylamine derivative. Selective β-adrenergic agonist that stimulates adenylate cyclase activity. Promotes glycogen breakdown and causes bronchodilation. Increases Cl^– diffusion and potential difference in rabbit trachea cells through nitric oxide generation. Reported to activate MAP Kinase (ERK) by a Rap1 and B-Raf dependent process.
