Tl. Shih et al., L-770,644: A potent and selective human beta(3) adrenergic receptor agonist with improved oral bioavailability, BIOORG MED, 9(9), 1999, pp. 1251-1254
L-770,644 (9c) is a potent and selective agonist of the human pg adrenergic
receptor (EC50 = 13 nM). It shows good oral bioavailability in both dogs a
nd rats (%F = 27), and is a full agonist for glycerolemia in the rhesus mon
key (ED50 = 0.21 mg/kg). Based on its desirable in vitro and in vivo proper
ties, L-770,644 was chosen for further preclinical evaluation. (C) 1999 Els
