Data from a large placebo-controlled safety study that was stopped early suggest that salmeterol may be associated with rare serious asthma episodes or asthma-related deaths. Data from this study, called the Salmeterol Multi-center Asthma Research Trial (SMART), further suggest that the risk might be greater in African American patients. These results led to stopping the study prematurely. The data from the SMART study are not adequate to determine whether concurrent use of inhaled corticosteroids provides protection from this risk. Given the similar basic mechanisms of action of beta2-agonists, it is possible that the findings seen in the SMART study may be consistent with a class effect. Findings similar to the SMART study findings were reported in a prior 16-week clinical study performed in the United Kingdom, the Salmeterol Nationwide Surveillance (SNS) study. In the SNS study, the incidence of asthma-related death was numerically, though not statistically, greater in patients with asthma treated with salmeterol (42 ug twice daily) versus albuterol (180 ug 4 times daily) added to usual asthma therapy.

Salmeterol oral inhalation therapy is intended for the maintenance treatment of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and should not be initiated in patients with substantially worsening or acutely deteriorating asthma or acute symptoms of COPD. ... Serious acute respiratory events, including fatalities, have been reported when salmeterol oral inhalation therapy has been initiated in such situations. In most cases, these adverse events have occurred in patients with severe asthma (e.g., those with a history of corticosteroid dependence, low pulmonary function, intubation, mechanical ventilation, frequent hospitalizations, or previous life-threatening acute asthma exacerbations) and/or in some patients in whom asthma has been acutely deteriorating (e.g., unresponsive to usual medications, increasing need for inhaled short-acting beta-agonists, marked increase in symptoms, recent emergency room visits, sudden or progressive deterioration in pulmonary function). However, such events also have occurred in patients with less severe asthma. Although it has not been determined whether salmeterol oral inhalation therapy contributed to these events or simply failed to relieve the deteriorating asthma, the manufacturer states that use of salmeterol oral inhalation in patients with substantially worsening or acutely deteriorating asthma is inappropriate.

Since salmeterol is cleared predominantly by hepatic metabolism, impaired liver function theoretically may lead to accumulation of the drug in plasma. Therefore, the manufacturer recommends that patients with hepatic disease be monitored closely while receiving salmeterol therapy.

Usual doses of salmeterol oral inhalation generally produce no apparent cardiovascular effects. However, clinically important changes in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure and heart rate, as well as ECG changes, have occurred infrequently with salmeterol therapy in controlled clinical studies. Adverse cardiovascular effects of salmeterol have in some instances required discontinuance of the drug. Hypertension has been reported with salmeterol inhalation aerosol or powder during postmarketing surveillance.

Salmeterol is 57.4% eliminated in the feces and 23% in the urine. Less than 5% of a dose is eliminated in the urine as unchanged salmeterol.
Volume of Distribution
In asthmatic patients, the volume of distribution of the central compartment is 177L and the volume of distribution of the peripheral compartment is 3160L.
Clearance
The average clearance of salmeterol in a group of asthmatic patients was 392L/h. Further data regarding the clearance of salmeterol is not readily available.
The absorption of salmeterol xinafoate from the respiratory tract following oral inhalation has not been fully characterized. Although it has been suggested that most of an orally inhaled drug actually is swallowed, the bronchodilating action of orally inhaled sympathomimetic agents is believed to result from a local action of the portion of the dose that reaches the bronchial tree. Systemic concentrations of salmeterol are low or undetectable after inhalation of the recommended dosage of the aerosol (42 ug) or powder (50 ug) twice daily and are not predictive of therapeutic effects.

Beta-2 adrenoceptor stimulation causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, bronchodilation, and increased airflow. Salmeterol is hypothesized to bind to 2 sites on the beta-2 adrenoceptor. The saligenin moiety binds to the active site of the beta-2 adrenoceptor. The hydrophilic tail of salmeterol binds to leucine residues in the exo-site of the beta-2 adrenoceptor almost irreversibly, allowing salmeterol to persist in the active site, which is responsible for it's long duration of action. Another hypothesis is that the lipophilic drug diffuses into lipid bilayer of smooth muscle cells and provides a depot of drug to the cells over a longer period of time.
In vitro tests show that salmeterol is a potent and long-lasting inhibitor of the release of mast cell mediators, such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandin D2, from human lung. Salmeterol inhibits histamine-induced plasma protein extravasation and inhibits platelet activating factor-induced eosinophil accumulation in the lungs of guinea pigs when administered by the inhaled route. In humans, single doses of salmeterol attenuate allergen-induced bronchial hyper-responsiveness.

The pharmacologic effects of beta2-adrenoceptor agonist drugs, including salmeterol, are at least in part attributable to stimulation of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). Increased cyclic AMP levels cause relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells.

Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-adrenergic agonist. In vitro studies and in vivo pharmacologic studies demonstrate that salmeterol is selective for beta2-adrenoceptors compared with isoproterenol, which has approximately equal agonist activity on beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptors. In vitro studies show salmeterol to be at least 50 times more selective for beta2-adrenoceptors than albuterol. Although beta2-adrenoceptors are the predominant adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle and beta1-adrenoceptors are the predominant receptors in the heart, there are also beta2-adrenoceptors in the human heart comprising 10% to 50% of the total beta-adrenoceptors. The precise function of these is not yet established, but they raise the possibility that even highly selective beta2-agonists may have cardiac effects.

Salmeterol ... membrane binding is non-competitive and dissociation is slow so that its effects last for many hours. Despite this, salmeterol does not accumulate in tissues. Its mechanism of action can be explained by binding to a specific exo-site domain of the beta 2-receptor protein to produce continuous stimulation of the active site of the receptor, which gives salmeterol a profile of pharmacological activity unlike that of other beta 2-agonists. Due to its potent and prolonged activation of beta 2-adrenoceptors in airway smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, mast cells and epithelial cells, salmeterol induces prolonged bronchodilatation, reduced vascular permeability, inhibition of inflammatory mediators, stimulation of ciliary function and modulation of ion and water transport across the bronchial mucosa.
