CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
_In vitro_ studies and _in vivo_ pharmacologic studies have
demonstrated that albuterol has a preferential
effect on beta -adrenergic receptors compared with isoproterenol.
While it is recognized that beta -
adrenergic receptors are the predominant receptors in bronchial smooth
muscle, data indicates that there
is a population of beta -receptors in the human heart existing in a
concentration between 10% and 50%.
The precise function of these receptors has not been established. (See
WARNINGS.)
The pharmacologic effects of beta-adrenergic agonist drugs, including
albuterol, are at least in part
attributable to stimulation through beta-adrenergic receptors on
intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme
that catalyzes the conver
