Tryptamine-based human beta3-adrenergic receptor agonists. Part 1: SAR studies of the 7-position of the indole ring

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Dec 20;14(24):5959-62. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.10.035.

Abstract

A series of tryptamine-based 2-thiophenesulfonamide derivatives were prepared and their agonistic activity for the beta-adrenergic receptors (ARs) was evaluated. Compound 54, containing 7-methanesulfonyloxy tryptamine, was found to be a highly potent beta3-AR agonist (EC50=0.21 nM, IA=97%) with excellent selectivity for the beta3-AR over the beta1- and beta2-ARs (210- and 86-fold, respectively).
