The discovery of indole-derived long acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonists for the treatment of asthma and COPD

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Nov 15;17(22):6188-91. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.09.031. Epub 2007 Sep 8.

Abstract

The design and profile of a series of indole containing long acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonists is described. Evaluation of these analogues using an in vitro guinea pig trachea tissue model demonstrates that analogues within this series have salmeterol-like duration of action with potential for long duration of action in humans.
