Tryptamine-based human beta3-adrenergic receptor agonists. Part 2: SAR of the methylene derivatives

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Dec 20;14(24):5963-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.09.054.

Abstract

A series of tryptamine derivatives with modified sulfonamide were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their ability to stimulate cAMP accumulation in CHO cells expressing the cloned human beta3-adrenergic receptor (AR). For this series of compounds, our objective was to symmetrize the alpha-position of the tryptamine moiety maintaining its activity and reducing the cost of production. Compound 11h, having m-aminobenzene, exhibited excellent agonistic activity for beta3-AR with excellent subtype selectivity.
