Hodoodo CAT#: H317951

CAS#: 43229-80-7 (fumarate)

Description: Formoterol Fumarate is a potent β-AR adrenoceptor agonist with a prolonged duration of action. This compound demonstrates a 330-fold selectivity for β2 over β1 receptors. Formoterol Fumarate has been reported to be 150-200 times more potent than isoprenaline. This agent has also been noted to reduce the loss of muscle mass in murine models. And, it is used to manage asthma and in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

More Info:

Biological target: Formoterol Hemifumarate (Eformoterol, CGP 25827A, NSC 299587, YM 08316) is a potent, selective and long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonist used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).
In vitro activity: To determine if maximal OCR levels can be further elevated, differentiated podocytes were treated with formoterol (30 nM), a potent inducer of MB, for 24 h and FCCP-induced OCR was determined. Formoterol further increased the maximum OCR, when compared to vehicle controls (Figure 2B), suggesting that formoterol induced MB in podocytes. To confirm formoterol-induced MB in podocytes, RNA was isolated from podocytes treated with formoterol (30 nM) for 24 h and qPCR (quantitative PCR) was performed to analyze various genes involved in mitochondrial function. Expression of PGC-1α, ATPase-6, mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b (MT-CYTB), and cytochrome c oxidase I (CO-I) were all increased (Figure 2C). Overall, these results provide evidence of pharmacological induction of MB by formoterol in podocytes.

In vivo activity: Treatment with formoterol of cachectic rats attenuated inflammatory cell counts in the study muscles, especially in the diaphragm (Figs. 3A–3D). No significant differences were seen in any of these markers in respiratory or limb muscles between non-cachexia controls and non-cachexia control-formoterol animals (Figs. 3A–3D).
