Bitolterol

Bitolterol

Bitolterol is a synthetic beta-2 adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator to treat reversible obstructive airway conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is typically administered via inhalation and works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, leading to bronchodilation and improved airflow. Chemical Structure & Formula Chemical Formula: C₂₁H₂₉NO₄ … Read more

Salbutamol (Albuterol)

Salbutamol (Albuterol)

Salbutamol (also known as Albuterol) is a short-acting β₂-adrenergic receptor agonist (SABA) used primarily as a bronchodilator to relieve symptoms of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, leading to bronchial dilation and easier breathing. Chemical Structure & Formula Chemical Formula: C₁₃H₂₁NO₃ Structure: Mechanism of Action … Read more
