Description

Salmefamol is a beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist, a type of medication that opens up the airways in the lungs. It is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Salmefamol is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, the R-enantiomer being the active form. It acts by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the bronchi, causing relaxation and bronchodilation. Salmefamol is typically administered by inhalation. It is a relatively long-acting bronchodilator, with effects lasting for several hours. Salmefamol is a synthetic compound that was first synthesized in the 1960s. It is a potent bronchodilator with a relatively long duration of action. Salmefamol is effective in treating asthma and COPD. However, it is not as widely used as other beta2-adrenergic receptor agonists, such as albuterol and salbutamol. This is due to the fact that salmefamol is associated with a higher risk of adverse effects, such as tachycardia and tremor. It is generally considered safe for short-term use, but long-term use can lead to tolerance and dependence. Salmefamol is a relatively expensive drug, which may limit its use.'

" Dose-response experiments with five doses of pentagastrin or histamine (single-dose studies) and two doses of beta 2-agonist suggested a change after vagotomy in the mechanisms of inhibition of gastric acid secretion: for pentagastrin, from a non-competitive type to an uncompetitive type, and for histamine, from a competitive type to a non-significant inhibition."( Effect of beta 2-sympathomimetic on pentagastrin- and histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in vagotomized gastric fistula dogs.
