Flashcards: Beta-adrenergic agonists

Clenbuterol, marketed as Dilaterol, Spiropent, Ventipulmin, is a sympathomimetic amine used by sufferers of breathing disorders as a decongestant and bronchodilator.

Salbutamol, also known as albuterol and marketed as Ventolin among other names, is a medication that opens up the medium and large airways in the lungs.

Orciprenaline (INN), also known as metaproterenol (USAN), is a bronchodilator used in the treatment of asthma.

Hexoprenaline (HEX-oh-PREN-a-leen, INN) is a selective β2 adrenergic receptor agonist used in the treatment of asthma.

Dobutamine is a sympathomimetic drug used in the treatment of heart failure and cardiogenic shock.

Fenoterol is a β2 adrenoreceptor agonist designed to open up the airways to the lungs.

Isoprenaline (INN) or isoproterenol (USAN) (trade names Medihaler-Iso and Isuprel) is a medication used for the treatment of bradycardia (slow heart rate), heart block, and rarely for asthma.

Ractopamine is a feed additive to promote leanness in animals raised for their meat.

Terbutaline (trade names "Bronclyn",Brethine, Bricanyl, Brethaire, or Terbulin) is a β2 adrenergic receptor agonist, used as a "reliever" inhaler in the management of asthma symptoms and as a tocolytic (anti-contraction medication) to delay preterm labor for up to 48 hours.

Salmeterol is a long-acting β2 adrenergic receptor agonist (LABA) used in the maintenance and prevention of asthma symptoms and maintenance of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms.

Formoterol (INN) or eformoterol (former BAN) is a long-acting β2 agonist (LABA) used in the management of asthma and COPD.

Tulobuterol (INN) is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist, marketed in Japan as a transdermal patch under the name Hokunalin tape (ホクナリンテープ).

Rimiterol (INN/USAN) is a third-generation short-acting β2 agonist.

Arbutamine is a cardiac stimulant.

Racemic epinephrine is a racemic mixture of epinephrine and is a sympathomimetic bronchodilator that is delivered by aerosol.

Bromoacetylalprenololmenthane (BAAM or BrAAM) is a β adrenergic receptor agonist.

Indacaterol/glycopyrronium bromide is a combination drug consisting of the following two active ingreditents: * Indacaterol maleate—an ultra-long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist (ultra-LABA); * Glycopyrronium bromide (glycopyrrolate)—a muscarinic anticholinergic.

Reproterol (INN) is a short-acting β2 adrenoreceptor agonist used in the treatment of asthma.

Isoetarine (INN) or isoetharine (USAN) eye-soe-ETH-a-reen, trade names Bronkosol and Bronkometer, is a selective short-acting β2 adrenoreceptor agonist.

Alifedrine is a partial beta-adrenergic agonist.
