A series of novel, potent, and selective human β2 adrenoceptor agonists incorporating a sulfone moiety on the terminal right-hand-side phenyl ring of (R)-salmeterol is presented. Sulfone 10b had salmeterol-like potency and selectivity profile, long duration of action on guinea pig trachea, and longer than salmeterol duration of action in vivo, suitable for once-daily dosing. It had lower than salmeterol oral absorption in rat, lower bioavailability in rat and dog, and a high turnover in human hepatocytes. It was metabolized in human hepatocytes by hydroxylation, oxidation, cleavage, and conjugation; most of the metabolites would be expected to have reduced or no β2 activity. The 4-biphenylsulfonic acid was identified as a crystalline, non-hygroscopic salt of 10b, suitable for inhaled delivery. Furthermore, it was free of any genetic toxicity issues and was considered as a backup to vilanterol.
