ChEBI Name salmeterol
ChEBI ID CHEBI:9011
Definition A racemate consisting of equal parts of (R)- and (S)-salmeterol. It is a potent and selective β2-adrenoceptor agonist (EC50 = 5.3 nM). Unlike other β2 agonists, it binds to the exo-site domain of β2 receptors, producing a slow onset of action and prolonged activation.
