Q

how does salmeterol work

A

its hydrophilic so once it gets into the cell, it will anchors itself with the G protein, therefore increases the concentration of cAMP(cyclic AMP)–>continue bronchodilation

22
Q

What is the result of drug binding to beta receptor

A

1 activation of G (guanine nucleotide) linked protein receptors

  1. G protein subunit attaches to enzyme adenyl cyclase & ATP to produce secondary messenger cAMP\
  2. lead to
    - -> inactivation of the enzyme kinase so no actin-myosin cross linkages
    - ->reduction in intracellular calcium
    - ->decrease histamine release and glandular secretions
