Abstract

The design and profile of a series of indole containing long acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonists is described. Evaluation of these analogues using an in vitro guinea pig trachea tissue model demonstrates that analogues within this series have salmeterol-like duration of action with potential for long duration of action in humans.
