HIDE SMILES / InChI
Metaproterenol, also known as Orciprenaline, is a brochodilator that is FDA approved for the treatment of bronchial asthma and for reversible bronchospasm which may occur in association with bronchitis and emphysema. Metaproterenol Sulfate is a potent beta-adrenergic stimulator with a rapid onset of action. It is postulated that beta-adrenergic stimulants produce many of their pharmacological effects by activation of adenyl cyclase, the enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of adrenosine triphosphate to cyclic adenosine monosphosphate. Metaproterenol is a moderately selective beta(2)-adrenergic agonist that stimulates receptors of the smooth muscle in the lungs, uterus, and vasculature supplying skeletal muscle, with minimal or no effect on alpha-adrenergic receptors.

Sample Use Guides

Metaproterenol Sulfate Inhalation Solution is for administration with the aid of an intermittent positive pressure breathing apparatus (IPPB) or air driven nebulizer. The usual adult dose is one vial per nebulization treatment. Each vial of 0.4% is equivalent to 0.2 mL Metaproterenol Sulfate Inhalation Solution 5% diluted 2.5 mL with Normal Saline. Each vial of 0.6% is equivalent to 0.3 mL Metaproterenol Sulfate Inhalation Solution 5% diluted to 2.5 mL with Normal Saline. Usually, treatment need not be repeated more often than every four hours to relieve acute attacks of bronchospasm. As part of a total treatment program in chronic bronchospastic pulmonary diseases, Metaproterenol Sulfate Inhalation Solution may be administered three or four times a day.
Route of Administration: Respiratory
In Vitro Use Guide
Metaproterenol (10(-4), 10(-5) and 10(-6)M) significantly inhibited the in vitro development of memory CTL activity of young mice.
