Application

Metaproterenol hemisulfate salt has been used:
  • as a β2-adrenoceptor agonist to study its effects on adenylyl cyclase stimulation in red blood cell deformability
  • as an adrenergic agonist to study its effects on the stereoselective cell uptake by organic cation transporters in human embryonic kidney cell lines
  • as a bronchodilator to study its effects on the activation of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metaproterenol is a β2-adrenoceptor agonist. It shows bronchodilator activity and shows therapeutic effects against bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema.
