Proposed mechanism of action. By signaling through the β2-adrenergic receptor, (R)-albuterol transcriptionally upregulates the mRNA expression and oxidoreductase activity of 11β-HSD1 in airway epithelial cells, thereby potentiating the anti-inflammatory effects of endogenous glucocorticoids to inhibit activity of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor NF-κB.
