Product Description
Tulobuterol (C-78 free base) is a long-acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonist that reduces the frequency of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma. Tulobuterol is also a sympathomimetic agent used as a transdermal patch to increase normal diaphragm muscle strength.
Tulobuterol is a long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonist used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma. It is a bronchodilator that reduces the frequency of disease exacerbations through smooth muscle relaxation in the airways.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR). Tulobuterol selectively binds to and activates β2-adrenoceptors on bronchial airway smooth muscle cells.
ln Vitro
At one and three days postinfection, tulobuterol (0.1 μM; 24 h or 72 h; human tracheal epithelial cells) therapy decreased RV14 RNA levels. Prior to RV14 infection, the supernatants of cells treated with tulobutero had a considerably lower concentration of sICAM-1 than did the cells treated with vehicle. The quantity and intensity of green-fluorescent acidic endosomes in cells were both decreased by tulobuterol treatment. also decreased the release of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 brought on by RV14 infection. RV14-induced NF-κB p50, p65, and c-Rel levels were significantly but modestly reduced upon tulobuterol administration [1].
In vitro, Tulobuterol (0.1 μM) activates β2-adrenoceptors, stimulating adenylate cyclase activity and increasing intracellular cAMP levels. Elevated cAMP activates protein kinase A (PKA), which phosphorylates various proteins involved in smooth muscle relaxation, including myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and calcium channels, leading to bronchodilation.
ln Vivo
The study investigated the impact of tuloterol on the contractility of diaphragms extracted from endotoxin-treated mice (BALBs/c animals; 21.7 ± 0.2 g). With the use of force-frequency curves of untreated or treated diaphragms at 0 (E0) and 4 (E4) hours following the administration of an E. Coli endotoxin (20 mg/kg), contractile characteristics and twitch kinetics were determined. After transdermal tuloterol treatment, E0 and E4 diaphragms were examined 0, 12, and 24 hours later. The tuloterol patch restored muscular contractility, as evidenced by the force-frequency curves of the E0 and E4 diaphragms at the three time periods that did not significantly differ from one another. Thus, during the 4-hour endotoxin treatment interval, diaphragm contractility was sustained for over 24 hours with the use of the tuloterol patch [2].
In vivo, Tulobuterol has been studied in preclinical models of asthma and COPD, demonstrating bronchodilatory effects through reduced airway resistance and improved airflow. It reduces the frequency of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Enzyme Assay
Typical non-cell receptor binding assays for β2-AR agonists involve radioligand competition binding using membrane preparations from cells overexpressing human β2-AR. Membranes are incubated with a fixed concentration of a radiolabeled antagonist (e.g., [³H]-dihydroalprenolol) and varying concentrations of Tulobuterol. Nonspecific binding is determined in the presence of excess propranolol. After incubation, bound and free ligand are separated by filtration through glass fiber filters, and radioactivity is measured by scintillation counting to calculate IC50 and Ki values.
Cell Assay
RT-PCR[1]
Cell Types: Human tracheal epithelial cells infected with RV14
Tested Concentrations: 0.1 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) or 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: RV14 RNA levels diminished 1 and 3 days after infection. The concentration of sICAM-1 in the cell supernatant was Dramatically diminished. Reduce the number of intracellular green fluorescent acidic endosomes and the fluorescence intensity of intracellular acidic endosomes. The secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 induced by RV14 infection was also diminished. RV14 infection induced a small but significant reduction in the amounts of p50, p65, and c-Rel of NF-κB.
Cellular assays are performed using cell lines (e.g., CHO or HEK-293) stably expressing human β2-AR. Cells are seeded in multi-well plates and treated with varying concentrations of Tulobuterol. The functional response is measured by quantifying intracellular cAMP accumulation using a competitive ELISA or homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) assay. Cells are lysed after treatment, and cAMP levels are determined against a standard curve. EC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Animal Protocol
Animal studies are conducted in rodent models of airway hyperresponsiveness, such as ovalbumin-sensitized and challenged mice or guinea pigs. Tulobuterol is administered via oral gavage, inhalation, or transdermal application at doses ranging from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg. Airway resistance and dynamic compliance are measured using whole-body plethysmography or invasive pulmonary mechanics. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is collected to assess inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine levels.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Tulobuterol is absorbed rapidly after oral administration and undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism. The transdermal patch formulation provides sustained drug delivery over 24 hours. The compound is primarily metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine. Plasma protein binding is moderate. The elimination half-life is approximately 3-5 hours for oral formulations and extended with transdermal delivery.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In preclinical toxicology studies, Tulobuterol shows a favorable safety profile at therapeutic doses. Common adverse effects at supratherapeutic doses include tachycardia, tremor, and hypokalemia, consistent with β2-agonist pharmacology. No significant genotoxicity or carcinogenicity has been reported in standard assays. The compound is not recommended for use during pregnancy without careful risk-benefit assessment.
