beta-Caryophyllene alcohol is a fragrance ingredient used in decorative cosmetics, fine fragrances, shampoos, toilet soaps and other toiletries as well as in non-cosmetic products such as household cleaners and detergents. Its use worldwide is in the region of <0.1 metric tonnes per annum. In vivo studies found that b-Caryophyllene alcohol significantly inhibited asthma induced by histamine and acetylcholine in guinea pigs with the efficacy lasting for at least 6 hours and with the potency equivalent to aminophylline. Inhibition of airway inflammation and scavenging of free radical and reactive oxygen species was one of the mechanisms of anti-asthmatic action

Clenbuterol is agonist of beta2 adrenergic receptor. In some countries it is used as bronchodilator for treatment of asthma, but is not approved in USA. The drug is abused by bodybuilders and athletes for its ability to increase lean muscle mass and to reduce body fat. In 1998 FDA approved the clenbuterol-based Ventipulmin Syrup as a prescription-only drug for treatment of airway obstruction in horses.

Tazanolast, an anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic agent with selective mast-cell stabilising effects, was developed jointly by Wakamoto and Torii Pharmaceuticals.

Oxatomide is a H1-histamine receptor antagonist developed for the treatment of broad spectrum of allergic and other hypersensitivity reactions. The drug is currently marketed in Japan, Taiwan, Italy, Portugal, Indonesia, Argentina, South Africa.

Hexoprenaline is a selective beta2-adrenoreceptor agonist indicated for use in the treatment of bronchospasm associated with obstructive airways diseases, including asthma, bronchitis and emphysema. In many countries the drug is used as tocolytic agent (under the trade name gynipral).

Trimetoquinol hydrochloride dilates bronchial muscle selectively by stimulating Beta 2-receptors. It is used for the relief of bronchoconstriction associated with bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Since the concurrent use of the drug with catecholamines such as Epinephrine and Isoproterenol may induce arrythmia or cardiac arrest in some cases, concurrent use is not recommended. Adverse reactions : Palpitation may occur occasionally, and alteration of blood pressure and precordial pain may appear rarely; headache may occur occasionally; tremor, dizziness, feverish sensation may also be encountered in a rare incidence; occasionally, nausea and anorexia may appear.

Deptropine citrate is a well-known H1-histamine receptor antagonist and muscarinic receptor antagonist. It is prescribed frequently for treatment of asthma, although there has been a sharp decrease in prescriptions since 1994. Deptropine is gradually being replaced by inhaled beta 2 adrenergic agonists and glucocorticosteroids as the preferred clinical prescription. Recently deptropine has garnered interest as a potential treatment for breast cancer. In vitro studies have shown deptropine citrate has inhibitory effects on cell viability and mammosphere formation in Breast Cancer Stem Cells (BCSCs). However, it does not seem to inhibit the self-renewal capacity of the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 when it is enriched with Cancer Stem Cells.

Pimethixene is an antihistamine exerting sedative and antitussive properties. Pimethixene displayed high affinity to serotonin 5-HT2A and 2B, histamine H1 and muscarinic acetylcholine M2 receptors. Oral pimethixene used to calm dry cough and irritation coughs in children.
