Pharmacology
Breo Ellipta combines fluticasone furoate, a synthetic trifluorinated ICS that inhibits inflammation via glucocorticoid receptor activation, with vilanterol, a LABA that relaxes bronchial smooth muscle by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors and increasing intracellular cyclic AMP.
Ensifentrine is a dual inhibitor of PDE3 and PDE4 enzymes; inhibition results in accumulation of intracellular cAMP and/or cGMP, producing downstream bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory signaling effects.
