Flerobuterol (INN; developmental code name CRL-40827) is a selective β-adrenergic receptor agonist related to salbutamol which was under development for the treatment of major depressive disorder but was never marketed. It is an agonist of the β1-, β2-, and β3-adrenergic receptors. The drug was under development in France by Cephalon and Lafon and reached phase 2 clinical trials prior to its development being discontinued. It was first described in the scientific literature by 1988 and its development was terminated in 2007.
