Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Clenbuterol is a sympathomimetic β2-adrenoceptor agonist that has been used as a bronchodilator in the treatment of pulmonary diseases such as asthma. At higher doses, clenbuterol acts as an anabolic steroid, favoring skeletal muscle protein synthesis at the expense of fat deposition. Clenbuterol, Inhibits or Limits Post-Stroke Pneumonia, but Increases Infarct Volume in MCAO Mice. Clenbuterol exerts antidiabetic activity through metabolic reprogramming of skeletal muscle cells. Clenbuterol reduces the neuroinflammatory response, neutrophil infiltration and apoptosis following intra-striatal IL-1β administration to rats.

Biological target:
Clenbuterol induces relaxation of equine tracheal muscle strips (EC50 = 2.1 nM). Clenbuterol inhibits infection of MDCK cells by an H1N1 influenza isolate in vitro (EC50 = 9.4 µM).
In vitro activity:
This study demonstrates that clenbuterol acts to induce mild cardiac hypertrophy in cardiac myocytes via paracrine signalling via paracrine signalling involving fibroblast-derived IGF-1. In cardiac myocytes, clenbuterol treatment led to increased cell size, protein accumulation, and myofibrillar organization characteristic of hypertrophic growth. The hypertrophic response was accompanied by elevated expression of hypertrophy-related genes, such as ANP and BNP without inducing markers of pathological hypertrophy. Reference: J Cardiovasc Transl Res. 2010 Dec;3(6):688-95. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20577844/
In vivo activity:
This study suggests that clenbuterol's anti-atrophic effect involves TRPC3 upregulation through the PLC-β1/DAG pathway during mechanical unloading, offering a potential target for preventing and treating unloading-induced myocardial atrophy. In a rat heart transplantation model, clenbuterol prevented myocardial atrophy, enhanced cardiac function, and restored expression of TRPC3 and PLC-β1.
