The molecule is a carbamate ester that is terbutaline in which both of the phenolic hydroxy groups have been protected as the corresponding N,N-dimethylcarbamates. A long acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist used in the treatment of asthma, it is a prodrug for terbutaline. It has a role as a beta-adrenergic agonist, a prodrug, a bronchodilator agent, an anti-asthmatic drug, an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor, a sympathomimetic agent and a tocolytic agent. It is a carbamate ester and a member of phenylethanolamines. It derives from a terbutaline.
