2016, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - BiomembranesCitation Excerpt :The paradoxic effect of distomers may be responsible for airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and contribute to morbidity and mortality in asthma patients [16]. For example, S-albuterol has been demonstrated to be linked to airway hyperresponsiveness by experimental animal and clinical studies [16,26]. Besides, studies in cells have indicated the proinflammatory effects of S-albuterol, that could negatively affect long-term asthma control [27–29].

2010, Journal of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :The R-enantiomer is the agonist at the β2-AR leading to the accumulation of cAMP, and this binds with 100-fold greater affinity than the S-enantiomer.39 The S-enantiomer of albuterol is thought to mediate nonreceptor-dependent effects and has been shown to induce both Ca2+ mobilization and contraction in airway smooth muscle cells and to be proinflammatory in animal models.9-11 It is possible therefore that in HLMCs, the inhibition of antisecretory R-albuterol signaling through β2-AR counterregulation by SCF leaves the harmful effects of the S-enantiomer unchecked, leading to enhanced secretion in the presence of free IgE.
