Popis: In a search for novel analogues of beta(3)-adrenoceptor (AR) agonists relaxing the bladder for treatment of urinary dysfunction, 2-[4-(2-[[(1S,2R)-2-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]amino]ethyl)phenoxy]-2-methylpropionic acids (1a-e), into which a fibrate-like structure had been incorporated, were synthesised. Compound 1a was found to be a selective beta(3)-AR agonist in functional assays using the ferret detrusor (beta(3)-AR), rat uterus (beta(2)-AR), and rat atrium (beta(1)-AR); beta(3): EC(50)=7.8 nM, beta(2): IC(50)=7,300 nM, beta(1): EC(20)=23,000 nM. The introduction of a chlorine atom or methyl substituent at the ortho-position on the phenyl ring of 1a further improved beta(3)-AR selectivity. In an in vivo study, 1a lowered intrabladder pressure (ED(50)=31 microg/kg) in rats, without increasing heart rate, in keeping with the in vitro results. Consequently, it is proposed that 1a and its analogues (1b-e), possess beta(3)-AR agonistic activity in the absence of undesirable beta(1)- or beta(2)-AR mediated actions, and may be useful for clinical treatment and pharmacological studies.
