Salbutamol, also known as albuterol and sold under the brand name Ventolin among others, is a medication that opens up the medium and large airways in the lungs. It is a short-acting β2 adrenergic receptor agonist which works by causing relaxation of airway smooth muscle. It is used to treat asthma, including asthma attacks, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). See also [1]. (2y04).
. The phenyl ring of the salbutamol is sandwiched by , while the N and O in salbutamol form with nearby asparagine (Asn) and aspartate (Asp) residues.
