Product Description
Fenoterol HBr (Th-1165a; Phenoterol hydrobromide), a potent β2 adrenergic agonist designed to open up the airways to the lungs, is classed as sympathomimetic beta agonist and asthma medication.
Fenoterol hydrobromide (Th-1165a) is a sympathomimetic agent and a selective, orally active β2-adrenergic receptor agonist. It is a bronchodilator used for the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory conditions associated with bronchospasm. Fenoterol hydrobromide has a molecular weight of 384.26 and a molecular formula of C17H22BrNO4.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
β2 adrenoreceptor
Fenoterol hydrobromide targets the β2-adrenergic receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor expressed primarily on bronchial smooth muscle cells. As a selective agonist, fenoterol activates β2-adrenergic receptors, leading to the activation of adenylate cyclase and an increase in intracellular cAMP levels. This results in relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, bronchodilation, and relief of bronchospasm. Fenoterol also has tocolytic (uterine relaxant) effects.
ln Vitro
Fenoterol (1 μM; pre-incubated 30 minutes) treatment significantly downregulates the elevated phosphorylation levels of AMPK and reduces AICAR-induced NF-κB activation, TNF-α release, and AMPK activation[2].
Fenoterol suppresses the production of inflammatory cytokines and AMPK activation caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in THP-1 cells[2].
Fenoterol is also a strong inducer of exosome biogenesis and/or secretion in PC cells[4].
In vitro studies demonstrate that fenoterol hydrobromide acts as a selective β2-adrenergic receptor agonist. Its activity can be assessed using cell-based assays in which cells expressing the β2-adrenergic receptor are treated with the compound and the resulting increase in cAMP accumulation is measured using a cAMP ELISA or HTRF-based assay. The EC50 for receptor activation is determined from dose-response curves.
ln Vivo
Fenoterol hydrobromide (0.7 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice a day; for 3 weeks) suppresses mechanical allodynia during chronic treatment[3].
Fenoterol hydrobromide is used in vivo as a bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions. It is available in various formulations, including metered-dose inhalers and nebulizer solutions. The compound's bronchodilator effects are rapid in onset and provide relief from bronchospasm. Fenoterol is also used as a tocolytic agent to delay premature labor.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular receptor binding assays for fenoterol hydrobromide involve competitive radioligand binding displacement studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing the human β2-adrenergic receptor. The membranes are incubated with a radiolabeled β2-selective ligand (e.g., [³H]CGP-12177) and varying concentrations of fenoterol. Following incubation and filtration, the radioactivity is measured to determine the IC50, which is then converted to a Ki value using the Cheng-Prusoff equation.
Cell Assay
Cell Line: THP-1 cells stimulated with AICAR
Concentration: 1 μM
Incubation Time: Pre-incubated 30 minutes
Result: Significantly downregulated the elevated phosphorylation levels of AMPK.
In vitro cellular assays for fenoterol hydrobromide involve treating cells expressing the β2-adrenergic receptor with the compound and measuring receptor-mediated signaling. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of fenoterol, and the activation of the receptor is measured by quantifying cAMP accumulation using a cAMP ELISA or HTRF-based assay. The EC50 for receptor activation is determined from dose-response curves. The compound's selectivity for β2 over β1 receptors can be assessed using parallel assays with cells expressing β1 receptors.
Animal Protocol
Male C57BL/6J mice (6 weeks old) with neuropathy
0.7 mg/kg
Intraperitoneal injection; twice a day; for 3 weeks
In vivo animal experiments with fenoterol hydrobromide are conducted in animal models of bronchoconstriction. Guinea pigs or rats are exposed to bronchoconstrictive agents (e.g., histamine or methacholine) and treated with fenoterol via inhalation or intravenous administration. The compound's ability to reverse bronchoconstriction is assessed by measuring airway resistance or lung function parameters. Tocolysis studies are conducted in pregnant animal models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Fenoterol hydrobromide has a molecular weight of 384.26 and a molecular formula of C17H22BrNO4. It is a white crystalline powder with a purity of ≥98%. The compound is soluble in water and other polar solvents. It is typically stored at room temperature in a dry place, protected from light. Pharmacokinetic studies show that fenoterol is rapidly absorbed after inhalation and has a relatively short duration of action, requiring frequent dosing for sustained bronchodilation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Fenoterol hydrobromide is generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. Common side effects include tremor, palpitations, headache, and tachycardia, which are related to β2-adrenergic receptor stimulation. At high doses, fenoterol may cause hypokalemia and cardiac arrhythmias. The compound should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, or hyperthyroidism.

Additional Infomation
Fenoterol hydrobromide is the hydrobromide salt of fenoterol. It is a β2-adrenergic agonist used to treat reversible airway obstruction and is a bronchodilator. It has bronchodilatory, β-adrenergic agonist, and sympathomimetic effects. It contains fenoterol. Fenoterol hydrobromide is a short-acting sympathomimetic agent with bronchodilatory effects. Fenoterol stimulates β2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs, thereby activating adenylate cyclase, which catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increased cAMP concentration relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, relieves bronchospasm, and reduces the release of inflammatory cytokines, especially those from mast cells.

Fenoterol hydrobromide (CAS 1944-12-3) is a selective, orally active β2-adrenergic receptor agonist used as a bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions. It is also used as a tocolytic agent. The compound's mechanism of action involves activation of β2-adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle, leading to bronchodilation. Fenoterol hydrobromide is available from various pharmaceutical suppliers for research and clinical applications.
