Bambuterol
Bambuterol is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a long acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist used in the treatment of asthma. It is a prodrug of terbutaline.The pharmacologic effects of bambuterol are at least in part attributable to stimliation through beta-adrenergic receptors (beta 2 receptors) of intracellliar adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to 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.

- General function:
- Involved in G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway
- Specific function:
- Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine- induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The beta-2-adrenergic receptor binds epinephrine with an approximately 30-fold greater affinity than it does norepinephrine
