Salbutamol stimulates Β-Adrenergic receptors, is more specific on β2 Adrenergic than isoprenaline and has little or no effect on α receptors. β-agonists such as salbutamol stimulate the production of cAMP, mediators of many cellular responses, through the activation of the enzyme adenylcyclase. Increasing the concentration of cAMP in the cell increases the activity of Protein Kinase A (cAMP dependent), thereby inhibiting the actin - Myosin binding Phosphorylation in smooth muscle and reducing the concentration of Ca++ in the cell, leading to relaxation smooth muscle of the bronchi as well as of the uterus and blood vessels. Similar mechanisms of salbutamol promote glycogenolysis and insulin release. In addition, increasing the concentration of cAMP in cells also prevents the release of SRS-A, Histamine and other mediators of allergic response from mast cells, so Salbutamol also has antiallergic effects.
