Improvement of EP4-receptor selectivity and the agonist activity by introduction of heteroatoms into the a chain of PGE(1) was investigated. Among the compounds tested, 3,7-dithiaPGE(1) 4a exhibited good EP4-receptor selectivity and agonist activity. Further modification of the omega chain of 3,7-dithiaPGE(1) was performed to improve EP4-receptor selectivity and agonist activity. Of the compounds produced, 16-phenyl-omega-tetranor-3.7-dithiaPGE(1) 4p possessing moderate EP4-receptor selectivity and agonist activity. was identified as a new chemical lead for further optimization by modification of the aromatic moiety.
