title: Conjugates of catecholamines. 6. Synthesis and beta-adrenergic activity of N-(hydroxyalkyl)catecholamine derivatives.
abstract: A new series of catecholamines has been prepared in which the N-alkyl substituent of dl-epinephrine or dl-isoproterenol has been extended by a methylene chain terminated by a hydroxyl group or derived functionality (e.g., carbamate or ester). These functionalized catecholamines (congeners) and model compounds were prepared with the goal of eventual attachment to polymeric carrier molecules. The beta-adrenergic agonist activity of the derivatives was evaluated in vitro by measuring the intracellular accumulation of cyclic AMP in S49 mouse lymphoma cells and by the displacement of iodocyanopindolol (ICYP). A n-butylcarbamate derivative (compound 15) was the most active compound in this series with a potency 190 times greater than dl-isoproterenol in the S49 assay. The biological results indicate that minor modifications in structure in the N-alkyl substituent of the catecholamine can influence the pharmacologic activity.
