摘要:
This disclosure concerns the discovery of the use of fenoterol and ()- and ()- fenoterol analogues for the treatment of a tumor expressing a β2-adrenergic receptor, such as a primary brain tumor, including a glioblastoma or astrocytoma expressing a β2- adrenergic receptor. In one example, the method includes administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of fenoterol, a specific fenoterol analogue or a combination thereof to reduce one or more symptoms associated with the tumor, thereby treating the tumor in the subject.
