β2-adrenergic receptor agonists
View Patent ↗Disclosed are multibinding compounds which are β2 adrenergic receptor agonists and are useful in the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis. They are also useful in the treatment of nervous system injury and premature labor.
1. A method of treating a mammal having a disease or condition associated with β 2 adrenergic receptor activity, the method comprising administering to the mammal, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula:
or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof.
2. A method of treating a mammal having a disease or condition associated with β 2 adrenergic receptor activity, the method comprising administering to the mammal, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula:
wherein the stereochemistry at *C and **C is (RS) and (RS), (R) and (R), (R) and (S), (S) and (R), or (S) and (S); or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the stereochemistry at *C is (R) and the stereochemistry at **C is (R).
4. The method of any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein the disease or condition is selected from asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, nervous system injury, and premature labor.
5. The method of any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein the disease or condition is a respiratory disease.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the respiratory disease is asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
7. The method of any one of claims 1 to 3 further comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a steroidal anti-inflammatory agent.
8. A method of treating asthma in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula:
wherein the stereochemistry at *C and **C is (R) and (R), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
9. A method of treating asthma in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier; a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula:
wherein the stereochemistry at *C and **C is (R) and (R), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and a therapeutically effective amount of a steroidal anti-inflammatory agent.
