title: [Cyclic AMP and asthma].
abstract: Recall is made of the essential notions concerning cyclic AMP, its biosynthesis, catabolism, mood of action, circumstances of its discovery. The relations with the alpha and beta adrenergic receptors allow to consider the part played by cyclic AMP in the physiopathology of the bronchial spasm.
