Preferred Label : Meluadrine;
NCIt definition : A beta-adrenergic receptor agonist with tocolytic activity. Meluadrine binds to and
activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors of myometrial smooth muscle in the uterus, thereby
activates adenyl cyclase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate
(ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increased cAMP levels leads
to a reduction in intracellular calcium concentration, thereby causes smooth muscle
relaxation and decreases the intensity of uterine contractions.;
