Q

Tiotropium

A

Long-acting, antimuscarinic bronchodilator used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Tiotropium acts mainly on M3 muscarinic receptors located in the airways to produce smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation

Q

Aclidinium

A

Aclidinium is a long-acting, competitive, and reversible anticholinergic drug that is specific for the acetylcholine muscarinic receptors. It binds to all 5 muscarinic receptor subtypes to a similar affinity. Aclidinium’s effects on the airways are mediated through the M3 receptor at the smooth muscle to cause bronchodilation

Q

Aminophylline

A

Bronchodilator

Reduces airway responsiveness to histamine, methacholine, adenosine, and allergen

Competitively inhibits type III and type IV phosphodiesterase (PDE), the enzyme responsible for breaking down cyclic AMP in smooth muscle cells, possibly resulting in bronchodilation
