NCIt definition : A beta-adrenoceptor agonist with potential antidepressant activity. Even though preferentially
interacts with beta-adrenergic receptors, flerobuterol may exhibit antidepressant
activity. Sustained administration of flerobuterol, similar to other beta-adrenergic
agonists, may increase serotonin (5-HT) synthesis, thereby enhance serotonergic neurotransmission,
partially through an increased transport of the serotonin precursor (tryptophan) to
brain.;
