Comments

Formoterol is a long-acting inhalation bronchodilator. The approved drug is a racemic mixture of enantiomers; PubChem lists 6 CIDs as isotopes of this molecule. We show the non-chiral molecule here to represent the mixture. The marketed formulation may contain formoterol fumarate (PubChem CID 9912089).
