Chemical compound
Bitolterol mesylate (Tornalate) is a short-acting
β2 adrenergic receptor agonist used for the relief of
bronchospasm in conditions such as
asthma
[1]
[2] and
COPD .
[3]
[4]
[5] In these disorders there is a narrowing of the airways (bronchi and their ramifications) that carry air to the lungs. Muscle spasm and inflammation within the bronchi worsen this narrowing. Bitolterol relaxes the smooth muscles present continuously around the bronchi and bronchioles facilitating the flow of air through them.
Colterol
Bitolterol is a
prodrug of
colterol .
[6]
[7] It has a rapid onset of action (2–5 minutes) and may last up to 6–8 hours.
[8]
The drug, alone or in co-administration with theophylline, doesn't show cardiotoxic effect.
[9]
The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved bitolterol in December 1984. The drug was withdrawn from the market by
Élan Pharmaceuticals in 2001.
