Colterol(CAT: M082872) is a selective β2-adrenergic agonist, which means it primarily stimulates β2-adrenergic receptors. These receptors are found in the smooth muscles of the lungs, uterus, and blood vessels, and their activation leads to muscle relaxation. Colterol is of interest in pharmacological research for its potential applications in treating conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where bronchodilation is beneficial. It may also have roles in managing premature labor due to its ability to relax uterine muscles. However, like other β2 agonists, its use may be associated with side effects such as tachycardia or tremors.
