Background

EC50: (3.0±0.3) X 10-8 M for β3 adrenoceptor [1].Benzodioxole-containing phenethanolamine CL-316,243 is a murine-selective β3 adrenoceptor agonist which can correct obesity and elevated blood glucose in diabetic rodents, which offers an exciting possibility for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes as well as obesity without undesired β-mediated side effects [3]. β3 adrenoceptor is located mainly in adipose tissue and is involved in the regulation of lipolysis and thermogenesis.In vitro: The compound was a potent stimulant of rat adipocyte lipolysis (β3 effect, EC50 = (3.0±0.3) X 10-8 M), had no effect on the rate of contraction of guinea pig atria (β1 effect, EC50 > 10-4 M), and had only a very limited ability to inhibit insulin-stimulated [14C] glucose incorporation into glycogen in isolated rat soleus muacle (β2 effect, IC50 = (3.0±1.0) X 10-5 M) [1].In vivo: In rat, CL-316,243 treatment resulted in increased growth rates and significant changes in food consumption at the end of the 10-day treatment period. CL-316,243 treatment increased insulin responsiveness and sensitivity in non-insulin-resistant rodent species. The CL-316,243 induced increases in whole-body glucose disposal were due entirely to increases in adipose tissue glucose uptake, while muscle glucose uptake remained unaltered [2].Clinical trial: So far, no clinical study has been conducted.
