Vilanterol is a selective long-acting, beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). The pharmacologic effects of beta2-adrenoceptor agonist active substances, including vilanterol, are at least in part attributable to stimulation of intracellular adenylate 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.
This medicinal substance has been classified in the anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification according to its main therapeutic use as follows:
| ATC code | Group title | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| R03AK10 | Vilanterol and fluticasone furoate | R Respiratory system → R03 Drugs for obstructive airway diseases → R03A Adrenergics, inhalants → R03AK Adrenergics and other drugs for obstructive airway diseases |
| R03AL03 | Vilanterol and umeclidinium bromide | R Respiratory system → R03 Drugs for obstructive airway diseases → R03A Adrenergics, inhalants → R03AL Adrenergics in combination with anticholinergics |
