Abstract
The action mechanism of the betamimetics has been researched by ROBINSON, BUCHER and SUTHERLAND at the level of the cardiovascular system; intracellular adenyl-cyclase is activated. This enzyme catalyses ATP into AMPc, increased membrane potential hence increasing the threshold of excitability and inhibiting contractions. Similar effects occur in the uterus.
