Tryptamine-based human beta3-adrenergic receptor agonists. Part 3: improved oral bioavailability via modification of the sulfonamide moiety

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Feb 15;15(4):1061-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.12.033.

Abstract

The continued SAR investigation of tryptamine-based human beta(3)-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonists is reported. Prior efforts resulted in the identification of 2 as a potent beta(3)-AR agonist. Further modification of the left side arylsulfonamide portion in 2 provided compounds with good cell permeability, which have potent agonistic activity for beta(3)-AR. Cinnamylamine analog 16i exhibited an excellent agonistic profile in vitro and good oral bioavailability in rats.
