Agents for Asthma and COPD
- Short-Acting Beta Agonist (SABA)
- Long-Acting Beta Agonist (LABA)
- Short-Acting Muscarinic Agonists (SAMA)
- Long-Acting Muscurinic Agonists (LAMA)
- LABA/ICS
- LABA/LAMA/ICS
Mechanism of Action of SABAs
Binds to BETA2 adrenergic receptors in the airway. This leads to activation of adenyl cyclase resulting in increased levels of cyclic-3’,5’-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increases in cAMP inhibits phosphorylation of myosin and decrease intracellar calcium. Decreased intracellar calcium relaxes smooth muscle airways.
Indication of SABAs
