Also known as QAB149, QAB-149, QAB 149, 5-[2-(5,6-diethylindan-2-ylamino)-1-hydroxyethyl]-8-hydroxy-1H-quinolin-2-one

Indacaterol is an ultra-long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist developed by Novartis. It needs to be taken only once a day, unlike the related drugs formoterol and salmeterol. It is licensed only for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (long-term data in patients with asthma are thus far lacking). It is delivered through a dry powder inhaler.

==Medical uses== A Cochrane review found benefit in lung function in people with COPD at least as good as that seen with twice-daily long-acting beta2-agonists. {| class="wikitable floatright" |+Receptor binding affinities (Ki) [nM] !Receptor !Ki |- |β1 |6.21 |- |β2 |7.36 |- |β3 |5.48 |}
