Formoterol is a kind of long-acting β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) agonist [1]. Formoterol is widely used for symptomatic relief in asthma and control of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [2]. The therapeutic mechanism of Formoterol involves both bronchodilation through airway smooth muscle relaxation and anti-inflammatory activity [2].
Formoterol (0.1μM; 24h) inhibited secretion of TNFα in the bronchial epithelial (BE) cells infected with rhinovirus [3]. Formoterol (1μM; 24h) effectively reduced tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced SH-SY5Y cell death [1]. Formoterol (0.1nM~1μM; 24h) inhibited the IgE-dependent release of histamine from human lung mast cells in a concentration-dependent manner [4].
Formoterol (1mg/kg; 4 weeks; s.c.) decreased the expression of Fbxo32 and Trim63 in muscle wasting Balb/c mice induced by doxorubicin hydrochloride [5]. Formoterol (1mg/kg; 2 weeks; i.p.) prevented abdominal aortic aneurysm formation in erythropoietin-induced ApoE−/− mice [2].

Protocol
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Bronchial epithelial (BE) cells |
Preparation Method | BE cells were obtained from airway brushings. Cells were incubated for 24h with Formoterol (0.01% DMSO drug vehicle), and then infected with 0.25 mL of rhinovirus-16 (5×106 plaque forming units [PFU]/mL). After 24h, cytokine secretion (TNFα) was analyzed. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.1μM; 24h |
Applications | Formoterol inhibited secretion of TNFα in the cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male Balb/c mice |
Preparation Method | The mice received doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) to induce muscle wasting. One of the groups treated with Formoterol, and another not submitted to Formoterol treatment received saline solution (0.9%) by the corresponding route of administration. The mice were euthanized for sample collection after 4 weeks. |
Dosage form | 1mg/kg; 4 weeks; s.c. |
Applications | Formoterol protected against DOX-induced increase in Fbxo32 and Trim63 gene expression. |
