Terbutaline is a novel selective β2-adrenergic receptor agonist. Terbutaline can dilate bronchial smooth muscle by activating adenylate cyclase to increase intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels. Terbutaline reduces smooth muscle contraction and inflammation by activating protein kinase A (PKA) and inhibiting myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). Terbutaline is used for research on asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and preterm labor[1-4].
In vitro, Terbutaline (10μM) repeatedly activated CD3+ T cells (for 48h each time; 4 times in total). Terbutaline had no significant effect on the expression of T cell exhaustion markers (CD4+TIM-3+CD38+ and CD8+TIM-3+CD38+) or cytotoxicity[5]. Terbutaline (0.1nM–10μM) was pretreated on J774 mouse macrophages for 30min, followed by stimulation with LPS (10ng/mL) for 1h. Terbutaline significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and reduced TNF production[6].
In vivo, Terbutaline (1–10μg; 5μL) was administered to male Hsd: CD-1 (ICR) mice via intrathecal injection (i.t.; single dose). Terbutaline significantly increased blood glucose levels and plasma corticosterone levels[7]. Terbutaline (500μg/kg/day; twice daily) was intraperitoneally injected into collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) DBA1/J mice for 16 days. Terbutaline significantly alleviated arthritis symptoms in CIA mice, reduced the histopathological injuries of the ankle joints, decreased the arthritis score of the four limbs, and reduced the thickness of the ankle joints and rear paws[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | J774 mouse macrophages |
Preparation Method | J774 macrophages were incubated with Terbutaline (0.1nM-10μM) for the indicated times. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.1nM-10μM; pre-incubation for 30 minutes before LPS (10ng/mL) stimulation |
Applications | Terbutaline significantly increased intracellular cAMP levels in J774 macrophages. Terbutaline also enhanced MKP-1 mRNA and protein expression in a dose-dependent manner. Terbutaline markedly inhibited LPS-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation and suppressed both mRNA expression and protein production of TNF. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male DBA1/J mice (8-10 weeks old, weighing 20-25g) |
Preparation Method | Mice were intradermally injected with type II collagen (CII) emulsion at the tail base on day 0, followed by an intraperitoneal injection of CII emulsions on day 21, and a lipopolysaccharide boost on day 28 to induce the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. Terbutaline (500μg/kg/day) administration for 16 days. |
Dosage form | 500μg/kg/day; i.p.; twice a day |
Applications | Terbutaline administration significantly alleviated arthritis symptoms in the CIA mice, including markedly reducing the histopathological injuries of the ankle joints, notably decreasing the arthritis score of the four limbs, and significantly reducing the thickness of the ankle joints and rear paws. |
