Type small molecule
Description Adrenergic beta-agonist used to control premature labor. [PubChem]
Structure
Categories (*)
Molecular Weight 287.3535
Groups approved
Monoisotopic Weight 287.152143543
Pharmacology
Indication For the treatment and prophylaxis of premature labour
Mechanism of action Ritodrine is beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors on outer membrane of myometrial cell, activates adenyl cyclase to increase the level of cAMP which decreases intracellular calcium and leads to a decrease of uterine contractions.
Absorption Not Available
Protein binding ~56%
Biotransformation Hepatic, by both the mother and fetus
Route of elimination Not Available
Toxicity LD50=64mg/kg (mice, IV); LD50=540 mg/kg (mice, oral); LD50=85 mg/kg (rat, IV)
Affected organisms
  • Humans and other mammals
