Q

Short Acting B2 Agonists MOA

A

Act on the β2 receptors, which activate cytoplasmic G proteins, which activate adenylyl cyclase to produce cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) which decreases unbound intracellular calcium, producing smooth muscle relaxation and mast cell membrane stabilization.
