Identification
| Name: | Procaterol |
|---|---|
| Name (isomeric): | DB01366 |
| Drug Type: | small molecule |
| Description: | A long-acting beta-2-adrenergic receptor agonist. |
| Brand: | Pro-Air |
| Category: | Adrenergic beta-Agonists, Sympathomimetics, Bronchodilator Agents |
| CAS number: | 72332-33-3 |
Pharmacology
| Indication: | For the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). |
|---|---|
| Pharmacology: | Procaterol is a long-acting beta-2-adrenergic receptor agonist. It is a potent bronchodilator that may be administered orally or by aerosol inhalation. |
| Mechanism of Action: | Beta(2)-receptor stimulation in the lung causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, bronchodilation, and increased bronchial airflow. |
| Absorption: | Because of the small therapeutic dose, systemic levels of salmeterol are low or undetectable after inhalation of recommended doses. |
| Toxicity: | Symptoms of overdose include angina (chest pain), dizziness, dry mouth, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, headache, heart irregularities, high or low blood pressure, high blood sugar, insomnia, muscle cramps, nausea, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, seizures, and tremor. |
| Affected organisms: | Humans and other mammals |
