5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
4.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 80 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Formoterol Hemifumarate (Eformoterol, CGP 25827A, NSC 299587, YM 08316,Formoterol fumarate) is a potent, selective and long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonist used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).
Targets
β2-adrenergic receptor [1]
In vitro

Formoterol is a potent airway smooth muscle relaxant with high efficacy, and very high affinity and selectivity for the beta 2-adrenoceptor. Formoterol appears to be retained in airway smooth muscle for extended periods since its relaxant effect on human airway smooth muscle is resistant to repeated washing and formoterol displays 'reassertion' of relaxation after washout of a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist. Formoterol has been demonstrated to potently inhibit these cells and processes in experimental test systems. [1] Formoterol, like salbutamol and salmeterol, relaxes isolated preparations of guinea-pig trachea and human bronchus, and inhibits antigen-induced mediator release from human lung fragments in a concentration-related fashion. [2]
In vivo

Formoterol causes dose-related inhibition of histamine-induced bronchoconstriction in conscious guinea-pigs. [2] Formoterol inhibits histamine-induced plasma protein extravasation (PPE) in guinea-pig lung, with significant inhibition being observed at 10 mg /mL and 100 mg /mL. Formoterol (100 mg /mL) inhibits PPE in guinea-pig lung for 2-4 hours, a duration of action intermediate between that previously obtained for salbutamol (1 hour) and salmeterol (> 6 hours). Formoterol inhibits neutrophil accumulation (lipopolysaccharide-induced) in guinea-pig lung but at doses greater than those required to inhibit granulocyte-independent PPE (histamine-induced). Formoterol (100 mg /mL) inhibits PAF-induced eosinophil accumulation in guinea-pig lung. [3]
