Abstract

The 3-pyridylethanolamine L-757,793 is a potent beta 3 AR agonist (EC50 6.3 nM, 70% activation) with 1,300- and 500-fold selectivity over binding to the beta 1 and beta 2 ARs, respectively. L-757,793 stimulated lipolysis in rhesus monkeys (ED50 0.2 mg/kg) with a maximum response equivalent to that elicited by isoproterenol.
