Used primarily in pharmaceutical formulations for its bronchodilatory effects, this compound helps in managing respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It acts by relaxing smooth muscles in the airways, improving airflow to the lungs. Due to its modified structure, it offers a more favorable pharmacokinetic profile, including better solubility and sustained release, which enhances patient compliance. It is also investigated for potential anti-inflammatory properties in airway tissues, supporting its role in long-term respiratory therapy.
