Development of prostaglandin D2 receptor antagonist: discovery of highly potent antagonists
摘要:
The process of discovery for highly potent prostaglandin D-2 (PGD(2)) receptor antagonists is reported. A series of N-(p-alkoxy)benzoyl-2-methylindole-4-acetic acids were synthesized and identified as a new class of selective PGD(2) receptor antagonists. Most of them exhibited strong PGD(2) receptor antagonism in binding studies and the cAMP formation assay. The structure-activity relationships (SAR), including subtype selectivity of the synthesized compounds, are also discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
