Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease, characterized by airflow limitation
that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response
of the lung to noxious particle or gases. There is a chronic inflammation that leads to fixed narrowing of small airways and
alveolar wall destruction (emphysema). This characterized by increased number of alveolar macrophages, neutrophils and cytotoxic
T-lymphocytes, and the release of multiple inflammatory mediators. A high level of oxidative stress may amplify this
inflammation. There is also increased elastolysis and evidence for involvement of several elastolytic enzymes, including serine
proteases, cathepsins and matrix metalloproteinasses. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines
recommend a stepwise approach to disease management, with bronchodilators being the mainstay of treatment. 2-Adrenergic
agonists induce bronchodilatation through stimulation of 2-receptors, leading to an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate.
In addition to prolonged bronchodilatation, long-acting 2-agonists (LABAs) exert other effects that may be of clinical
relevance. These include inhibition of airway smooth-muscle cell proliferation and inflammatory mediator release, as well as
nonsmooth-muscle effects, such as stimulation of mucociliary transport, cytoprotection of the respiratory mucosa, and attenuation
of neutrophil recruitment and activation.
