Utilization of N-substituted-4-hydroxy-3-methylsulfonanilidoethanolamines 1 as selective beta(3) agonists is complicated by their propensity to undergo metabolic oxidative N-dealkylation, generating 0.01-2% of a very potent alpha(1) adrenergic agonist 2. A summary of the SAR for this hepatic microsomal conversion precedes presentation of strategies to maintain the advantages of chemotype 1 while mitigating the consequences of N-dealkylation. This effort led to the identification of 4-hydroxy-3-methylsulfonanilidopropanolamines 15 for which the SAR for the unique stereochemical requirements for binding to the beta adrenergic receptors culminated in the identification of the potent, selective beta(3) agonist 15f.
