The optical isomers of a series of phenoxypropanolamine compounds with
N-substituents bulkier than isopropyl have been synthesized, and thei
r binding affinity towards beta(1) and beta(2)-adrenoceptors has been
determined. A computational study, including a Molecular Dynamics (MD)
simulation and quenching in water and a GRID analysis provided some u
seful suggestions for possible interpretation patterns for the differe
nt affinity exhibited by the compounds studied.
