Application

Salbutamol was administered to primate model to study the bronchoconstriction in chronic allergic asthma.20 Salbutamol was used as a standard for rapid pharmacokinetic screening of human plasma samples using HPLC.21

Biochem/physiol Actions

Salbutamol is a β2 adrenoceptor agonist with short acting bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects. It relaxes the airway smooth muscles and inhibits bronchoconstriction induced by adenosine-5′ -monophosphate (AMP).1 Salbutamol is particularly effective in treatment of asthma as it provides immediate relief.2

Increasing evidence indicates that, first, the sympathetic nervous system interacts extensively with both vasculature and skeletal muscle fibers near neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and, second, its neurotransmitter, noradrenaline, influences myofiber molecular composition and function and motor innervation. Since sympathomimetic agents have
