Application

Levalbuterol hydrochloride may be used in β2-adrenergic-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Levalbuterol (levosalbutamol) is the more active isomer of albuterol. Levalbuterol is a β-adrenergic agonist; a bronchodilator used clinically to treat asthma and COPD..
Levalbuterol is (R)-albuterol that exhibits bronchodilator effect and is more effective than racemic albuterol for the treatment of exacerbation of asthma in pediatric populations.
