Dictionary of Allergies .. Bambuterol,

A carbamate prodrug of terbutaline as a 5,10, or 20mg tablet is used in asthma as a long acting brochodilating prodrug. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) mutations common in the human population may result in complete or partial BChE deficiency, making the BChE knockout (KO) mouse a model for human deficiencies. The BChE KO mouse cannot tolerate standard doses of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine or the Alzheimer's disease drugs huperzine A and donepezil. It is resistant to the asthma drug bambuterol.
