Disclosed are (i) compounds of a steroid, a β-agonist, an anticholinergic, a mast cell stabilizer and a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor directly or indirectly linked to a NO or NO2 group or a group which stimulates endogenous production of NO or EDRF in vivo; (ii) compositions of steroids, β-agonists, anticholinergics, mast cell stabilizers and PDE inhibitors, which can optionally be substituted with at least one NO or NO2 moiety or a group which stimulates endogenous production of NO or EDRF in vivo, and a compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide as a charged species, i.e., nitrosonium (NO+) or nitroxyl (NO−), or as the neutral species, nitric oxide (NO•) or that stimulates endogenous production of NO or EDRF in vivo; and (iii) uses for them in preventing and/or treating respiratory disorders.
A β-agonist having at least one NO group, at least one NO2 group or at least one NO and NO2 group, wherein the at least one NO group, at least one NO2 group or the at least one NO and NO2 group is linked to the β-agonist through an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom or a sulfur atom.
A composition comprising a compound of Formula (II) and a compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous synthesis levels of nitric oxide or endothelium-derived relaxing factor, or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase,
A kit comprising a compound of Formula (II) and a compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous synthesis levels of nitric oxide or endothelium-derived relaxing factor, or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase,
A composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a β-agonist and a compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous synthesis levels of nitric oxide or endothelium-derived relaxing factor, or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase.
A kit comprising a β-agonist and a compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous synthesis levels of nitric oxide or endothelium-derived relaxing factor, or is a substrate for nitric oxidesynthase.
