Substituted sulfonamides are selective .beta..sub.3 adrenergic receptor agonists with very little .beta..sub.1 and .beta..sub.2 adrenergic receptor activity and as such the compounds are capable of increasing lipolysis and energy expenditure in cells. The compounds thus have potent activity in the treatment of Type II diabetes and obesity. The compounds can also be used to lower triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels or raise high density lipoprotein levels or to decrease gut motility. In addition, the compounds can be used to reduced neurogenic inflammation or as antidepressant agents. The compounds are prepared by coupling an aminoalkylphenyl-sulfonamide with an appropriately substituted epoxide. Compositions and methods for the use of the compounds in the treatment of diabetes and obesity and for lowering triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels or raising high density lipoprotein levels or for increasing gut motility are also disclosed.
取代磺酰胺是具有极少量β1和β2
肾上腺素受体活性的选择性β3
肾上腺素受体激动剂,因此这些化合物能够增加细胞的脂解和能量消耗。因此,这些化合物在治疗II型糖尿病和肥胖症方面具有强效活性。这些化合物也可用于降低
甘油三酯水平和
胆固醇水平,或提高高密度脂蛋白
水平,或减少肠道运动性。此外,这些化合物也可用于减少神经源性炎症或作为抗抑郁剂。这些化合物是通过将
氨基烷基苯磺酰胺与适当取代的
环氧化物偶联制备而成。该发明还揭示了在治疗糖尿病和肥胖症以及降低
甘油三酯水平和
胆固醇水平或提高高密度脂蛋白
水平或增加肠道运动性方面使用这些化合物的组合物和方法。
