Selectivity and potency of agonists for the three subtypes of cloned human beta-adrenoceptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
The selectivities, potencies and efficacies of beta3-adrenoceptor (beta3-AR) agonists on human three beta-AR subtypes expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were investigated using radioligand binding assay and cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation assay. The three beta-AR subtypes showed the nature of G protein-coupled receptors with the constitutive activity. BRL37344, CL-316,243 and a newly synthesized beta3-AR agonist N-5984, 6-[2-(R)-[[2-(R)-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]propyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxine-2-(R)-carboxylic acid, were compared for the potency and selectivity for the beta3-AR. In the radioligand binding assay, the affinity of N-5984 for beta3-ARs was 14, 70 and 220 times more potent than those of BRL37344, isoproterenol and CL-316,243, respectively. N-5984 had higher selectivity than BRL37344 for human beta3-ARs compared with either for beta1-ARs or beta2-ARs. N-5984 showed higher potency and intrinsic activity of cAMP production than BRL37344 in CHO cells expressing the beta3-ARs. CL-316,243 had almost no activity of cAMP production in CHO cells expressing any subtype of beta-ARs. These results indicate that N-5984 is the most potent and selective agonist for human beta3-ARs than any other agonists tested.
