A comparison of GS-5759, a bifunctional 2-adrenoceptor agonist and PDE4 inhibitor, and indacaterol and GSK 256066 in combination on gene expression changes in the BEAS-2B human airway epithelial cell line

GS-5759 is a bifunctional ligand composed of a quinolinone-containing pharmacophore found in several 2-adrenoceptor agonists linked covalently to a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor (PDE4) related to GSK 256066 by a pent-1-yn-1-ylbenzene spacer. The object of the study was to detemine if gene expression changes induced by GS-5759 were replicated by a 2-adrenoceptor agonist (indacaterol; Ind) and a PDE4 inhibitor (GSK 256066; GSK) in combination.
