Ritodrine is a synthetic medication primarily used as a tocolytic agent to inhibit premature labor by relaxing uterine smooth muscle. It belongs to the class of beta-adrenergic agonists, specifically targeting beta-2 adrenergic receptors. Ritodrine is characterized by its ability to induce bronchodilation and vasodilation, which can lead to side effects such as increased heart rate and palpitations. The chemical structure of ritodrine includes a phenolic hydroxyl group and a tertiary amine, contributing to its pharmacological activity. It is typically administered intravenously or orally, depending on the clinical scenario. Ritodrine's efficacy in delaying labor has made it a significant option in obstetric care, although its use has declined due to concerns over side effects and the availability of alternative therapies. The substance is classified under the CAS number 26652-09-5, which uniquely identifies it in chemical databases. As with any medication, the benefits must be weighed against potential risks, and it is essential to monitor patients closely during treatment.
