Foradil is a bronchodilator that belongs to the long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist class of compounds.
The pharmacologic effects of beta2 adrenoceptor agonist drugs, including formoterol, are at least in part attributable to stimulation of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP).
Adverse reactions to treatment with Foradil are similar to those observed with other selective beta2-adrenoceptor agonists.

 Adrenal Medullary Hormones
The alpha and beta adrenergic receptors and their subtypes were originally defined by differential binding of various agonists and antagnonists and, more recently, by analysis of molecular clones.
These receptors are prototypical examples of seven-pass transmembrane proteins that are coupled to G proteins which stimulate or inhibit intracellular signalling pathways.
The physiologic effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine are initiated by their binding to adrenergic receptors on the surface of target cells.

Homozygosity for Arginine16 is associated with early onset agonist-mediated desensitization and decreased vascular responsiveness, while homozygosity for Glycine16 is associated with resistance to desensitization and enhanced vascular responsiveness to agonist stimulation regardless of the amino acid present at position 27.
The results suggest that it is the allele encoding the amino acid at position 16 of the receptor protein that determines vascular responsiveness.
The subjects were exposed to the same experimental conditions and "treatments" (agonist challenge), and similar "outcome measures" (vasodilation and desensitization) were determined for all groups.

The beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist terbutaline inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha production and enhances interleukin-10 production by monocytes.
We examined the sensitivity of the immune system to the glucocorticoid agonist dexamethasone and the beta2-adrenergic agonist terbutaline in 15 adolescent girls with CFS and 14 age- and sex-matched controls.
Our data demonstrate that the capacity of a beta2-adrenergic agonist to regulate the production of these two cytokines is also reduced in CFS patients.

We further defined the adrenergic receptor population on bovine neutrophils to be dominated by the beta2-subtype.
Dysfunction of beta-adrenergic receptors is known to contribute to the pathophysiology of numerous diseases in both people and animals.
Additional studies that identify the PKC isoform repertoire in bovine neutrophils may illustrate the potential for selective inhibition, and may lead to more specific identification and treatment of beta2-adrenergic receptor mechanism dysfunction.

The latter consists of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that bind hormones and neurotransmitters, G proteins that transduce the signal, and a catalyst that generates cAMP, the intracellular second messenger.
Arrestin both uncouples receptors from G proteins and by binding to clathrin, recruits the receptors into the clathrin-coated pit endocytic pathway.
One of the signals that targets receptors to lysosomes and proteolytic degradation is ubiquitination.

Activation of the Cl- current by the nonselective beta-receptor agonist isoproterenol (Iso) was not affected by the beta2-receptor antagonist ICI-118,551 (ICI), but it was blocked by the beta1-receptor antagonist atenolol.
The inability of beta2-receptor stimulation to activate the Cl- current was confirmed by the lack of response to the selective beta2-receptor agonists salbutamol and zinterol.
To verify that the lack of response to beta2-receptor stimulation was not unique to the Cl- current, the effects of beta2-receptor agonists on the L-type Ca2+ current were also examined.

We have been testing the hypothesis that genetic manipulation of the myocardial beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) system, which is impaired in HF, can enhance cardiac function.
Thus, replacement of lost receptors seen in HF may represent novel inotropic therapy.
Before gene therapy approaches to alter cardiac function can be realized, efficient and reproducible in vivo gene techniques must be established to efficiently transfer transgenes globally to the myocardium.

 Advair Diskus Clinical Pharmacology - Salmeterol/Fluticasone - HealthScout
In vitro assays using human lung cytosol preparations have established fluticasone propionate as a human glucocorticoid receptor agonist with an affinity 18 times greater than dexamethasone, almost twice that of beclomethasone-17-monopropionate (BMP), the active metabolite of beclomethasone dipropionate, and over 3 times that of budesonide.
These drugs represent 2 classes of medications (a synthetic corticosteroid and a selective, long-acting beta-adrenergic receptor agonist) that have different effects on clinical and physiological indices.
Although beta2-adrenoceptors are the predominant adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle and beta1-adrenoceptors are the predominant receptors in the heart, there are also beta2-adrenoceptors in the human heart comprising 10% to 50% of the total beta-adrenoceptors.

Also, these results have shown important similarities and differences in the structural requirements for agonist affinity at closely related receptors (receptor subtypes and wild type vs. point mutant variants).
Key results in this area have demonstrated an increase in accuracy and precision of agonist affinity measurements when data from recombinant receptors stably expressed in cell lines are used.
Key results in this area have demonstrated an improved ability to determine agonist efficacy when studies of second messenger function are used in clonal cell lines stably expressing the receptor.

Polymorphisms of the Beta-adrenergic Receptor Gene: Implications for the Pharmacotherapy of Asthma
Despite major recent advances in the understanding of the structure and function of the beta2 adrenergic receptor (beta2AR), several questions with relevant clinical implications remain to be answered, requiring a stepwise approach.
Recent findings of a genotyped stratified prospective trial conducted by the NIH Asthma Clinical Research Network (ACRN) prompted the organization of a meeting to examine the role of polymorphisms of the beta-adrenergic receptor gene in relation to asthma treatment as well as to consider new opportunities in the field of asthma pharmacogenetics.
