Er. Parmee et al., Tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives containing a benzenesulfonamide moiety as potent, selective human beta(3) adrenergic receptor agonists, BIOORG MED, 10(20), 2000, pp. 2283-2286
Tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives containing a 4-(hexylureido)benzenesulfo
namide were examined as human beta (3) adrenergic receptor (AR) agonists. N
otably, 4,4-biphenyl derivative 9 was a 6 nM full agonist of the beta (3) A
R. Naphthyloxy compound 18 (beta (3) EC50 = 78 nM) did not activate the bet
a (1) and beta (2) ARs at 10 muM, and showed >1000-fold selectivity over bi
nding to the beta (1) and beta (2) ARs. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
