Abstract

PURPOSE: To use a previously developed CoMFA model to design a series of new structures of high selectivity and efficacy towards the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. RESULTS: Out of 21 computationally designed structures 6 compounds were synthesized and characterized for beta(2)-AR binding affinities, subtype selectivities and functional activities. CONCLUSION: the best compound is (R,R)-4-methoxy-1-naphthylfelnoterol with K(i)beta(2)-AR=0.28microm, K(i)beta(1)-AR/K(i)beta(2)-AR=573, EC(50cAMP)=3.9nm, EC(50cardio)=16nm. The CoMFA model appears to be an effective predictor of the cardiomocyte contractility of the studied compounds which are targeted for use in congestive heart failure.
