MedKoo CAT#: 461120

CAS#: 119520-06-8 (HCl)

Description: Zilpaterol is a β-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist. It is used to increase the size of cattle and the efficiency of feeding them. Zilpaterol increases protein synthesis in skeletal muscle fibers, as well as reduces lipogenesis and increases lipolysis in adipose tissues. It was approved by the FDA in 2006 as a veterinary food additive for the purpose of increasing lean body weight and improving feed efficiency in commercial beef cattle.
