DESCRIPTION
Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution is a relatively selective beta
-adrenergic
bronchodilator (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY section below). Albuterol
sulfate, the
racemic form of albuterol, has the chemical name α
-[( _tert_-Butylamino)methyl]-4-
hydroxy- _m_-xylene-α,α′-diol sulfate (2:1) (salt) and the
following structural formula:
Albuterol sulfate has a molecular weight of 576.7, and the molecular
formula is (C
H
NO
)
•H
SO
. Albuterol sulfate is a white or practically white powder, freely
soluble
in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. The World Health
Organization’s recommended
name for albuterol base is salbutamol. Albuterol sulfate inhalation
solution 0.083%
requires no dilution before administration.
Each mL of albuterol sulfate inhalation solution (0.083%) contains
0.83 mg of albuterol
(as 1 mg of albuterol sulfate) in an isotonic, sterile, aqueous
solution containing sodium
chloride; sulfuric acid is used to adjust the pH to between 3 and 5.
Albuterol sulfate
inhalation solution (0.083%) contains no sulfiting agents. Albuterol
sulfate inhalation
solution is a clear, colorless solution.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The prime action of beta-adrenergic drugs is to stimulate adenyl
cyclase, the enzyme
which catalyzes the formation of cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate
(cyclic AMP)
from adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The cyclic AMP thus formed mediates
the cellular
responses. _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
