We prove that if ϕ grows or decays at most exponentially at infinity and satisfies a suitable ‘curvature condition’, then functions which are bounded and holomorphic in the intersection of a parabolic region and a sector and satisfy Mihlin-type conditions at infinity are spectral multipliers of Lp(λϕ). The parabolic region depends on ϕ, on p and on the infimum of the essential spectrum of the operator
