| 1 | Adequate water solubility and moderate lipophilicity of formoterol ensures rapid diffusion to the beta2-receptor on the smooth muscle and rapid bronchodilating activity. | Formoterol Fumarate | potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M regulatory beta subunit 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Unlike salbutamol, which is hydrophilic and has a rapid onset and short duration of action, both formoterol and salmeterol possess adequate lipophilic properties to remain in the airway tissues as a depot in close vicinity to the beta2-receptor, explaining their long duration of effect. | Formoterol Fumarate | potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M regulatory beta subunit 2 | Homo sapiens |
