Novel heterocyclic beta(3) adrenergic receptor agonists(2) were prepar
ed and evaluated for their ability to bind to human beta(1), beta(2),
and beta(3) adrenergic receptors. Stimulatory effects on the beta(3) a
drenergic receptor were also measured. BMS-187257 (4b) was found to be
a potent and selective beta(3) agonist. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier S
