Description

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.
