A novel series of potent and selective EP4 receptor ligands: Facile modulation of agonism and antagonism
摘要:
A novel series of EP4 ligands, based on a benzyl indoline scaffold, has been discovered. It was found that agonism and antagonism in this series can be easily modulated by minor modifications on the benzyl group. The pharmacokinetic, metabolic and pharmacological profiles of these compounds was explored. It was found that these compounds show good pharmacokinetics in rat and are efficacious in pre-clinical models of pain and inflammation. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
[Problems] To provide a compound that is useful as an agent for treating chronic renal insufficiency or an agent for treating diabetic nephropathy.
[Means for Solving Problems] The present inventors have conducted extensive studies on a compound having an EP4 receptor antagonistic action, and as a result, they have found that various amide derivatives having a carboxylic group or an equivalent thereof exhibit an excellent EP4 receptor antagonistic action, thereby completing the present invention.
Since the compound of the present invention has an excellent EP4 receptor antagonistic action, it is useful as an agent for preventing and/or treating chronic renal insufficiency or diabetic nephropathy.
