Abstract

We report the novel combination of a selective beta adrenoceptor modulator and a norepinephrine-serotonin uptake inhibitor (sibutramine) with potential for the treatment of obesity. The synthesis and characterization of 6-[4-[2-[[(2S)-3-(9H-carbazol-4-yloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl]amino]-2-methylpropyl]phenoxy]pyridine-3-carboxamide (LY377604), a human β3-adrenergic receptor agonist and β1- and β2-adrenergic receptor antagonist with no sympathomimetic activity at the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors, is reported. Some in vivo data in both rats and humans is presented.
