Orciprenaline (Metaproterenol) is a potent bronchodilator agent acting as a direct-acting sympathomimetic and a β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) agonist (IC50 = 68 nM) with anti-inflammatory activity. It can be used in the treatment of asthma.
Targets |
|
|
---|---|---|
ln Vitro |
In high glucose-induced THP-1 cells and bone marrow macrophages, metaproterenol (10 μM; 74 hours) administration increases β-arrestin2 and its association with IκBα[1]. In high glucose-induced THP-1 cells and bone marrow macrophages, treatment with metaproterenol (10 μM; 74 hours) results in the downregulation of NF-κB[1].
|
|
ln Vivo |
Metaproterenol treatment for a duration of 12 weeks attenuates pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic reactions in the kidneys and heart, as well as monocyte activation in Zucker diabetic fatty rats. Therefore, metaproterenol may provide protection against cardiovascular and renal problems associated with diabetes[1].

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation Metaproterenol (orciprenaline) is no longer marketed in the US. Although no published data exist on the use of metaproterenol by mouth or inhaler during lactation, data from the related drug, terbutaline, indicate that very little is expected to be excreted into breastmilk. The authors of several reviews and an expert panel agree that use of inhaled bronchodilators is acceptable during breastfeeding because of the low bioavailability and maternal serum levels after use. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. |

Additional Infomation |
Metaproterenol is a member of phenylethanolamines.
Metaproterenol is a beta2-Adrenergic Agonist. The mechanism of action of metaproterenol is as an Adrenergic beta2-Agonist. A beta-2 adrenergic agonist used in the treatment of ASTHMA and BRONCHIAL SPASM. Drug Indication For the treatment of bronchospasm, chronic bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema. Mechanism of Action Orciprenaline stimulates the β2-adrenergic receptor expressed in the lungs, uterus, and vasculature supplying skeletal muscles by acting as a moderately selective agonist. It exerts minimal or no effect on alpha-adrenergic receptors. Intracellularly, the actions of orciprenaline are mediated by cAMP, the production of which is augmented by beta stimulation. The drug is believed to work by activating adenylate cyclase, the enzyme responsible for producing the cellular mediator cAMP. Pharmacodynamics Orciprenaline (also known as metaproterenol), a synthetic amine, is structurally and pharmacologically similar to isoproterenol. Orciprenaline is used exclusively as a bronchodilator. The pharmacological effects of beta adrenergic agonist drugs, such as orciprenaline, are at least in part attributable to stimulation through beta adrenergic receptors of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic- 3',5'- adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP). Increased cAMP levels lead to relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles and inhibition of the release of inalammatory mediators from mast cells that are involved in promoting immediate hypersensitivity . |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
