DESCRIPTION
Albuterol tablets contain albuterol sulfate the racemic form of
albuterol and a relatively selective beta -
adrenergic bronchodilator. Albuterol sulfate 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 576.71, and the molecular
formula is
(C
H NO ) •H SO . Albuterol sulfate, USP is a white or practically
white powder, freely soluble in
water and slightly soluble in ethanol.
The World Health Organization recommended name for albuterol base is
salbutamol.
Each albuterol tablet for oral administration contains 2 or 4 mg of
albuterol as 2.4 or 4.8 mg of
albuterol sulfate, respectively. Each tablet also contains the
following inactive ingredients: lactose
monohydrate, magnesium stearate, pregelatinized starch (corn) and
sodium lauryl sulfate.
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 indicate 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 tablets, are at least in
part attributable to stimulation through beta-adrenergic receptors of
intracellular adenyl cyclase, the
enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
to cyclic-3',5'- adenosine
monophosphate (cyclic AMP). Increased cyclic AMP levels are associated
with relaxation of bronchial
smooth muscle and inhibition of release of mediators of immediate
hypersensitivity from cells,
especially from mast cells.
