Trimetoquinol (TMQ, 7) is a potent nonselective beta-adrenoceptor (AR) agonist. Replacement of the catechol moiety of TMQ with a 2-aminothiazole group resulted in novel thiazolopyridine derivatives 9-11 which have been synthesized and evaluated for biological activity on human beta(1)-, beta(2)-, and beta(3)-AR. The Bisckler-Napieralski reaction has been employed as a novel approach to construct the 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine ring system. Although in radioligand binding studies analogues 9 and 10 did not show selectivity toward beta(3)-AR, they exhibited a high degree of selective beta(3)-AR agonist activity in functional assays. Moreover, the beta(3)-AR agonist activity of the 2-aminothiazole derivatives is abolished by N-acetylation (analogue 11) or ring opening (analogue 25). This illustrates the importance of the intact 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine ring for beta(3)-AR activity.
