Abstract
EP2 is a G-protein coupled receptor that is activated by Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Signaling through the EP2 receptor has been shown to play a key role in various processes involved in diseases such as immune disorders or cancer. We have identified a new class of selective EP2 antagonists with an attractive in vitro and in vivo profile. The amide bond in the original screening hit was replaced by various alternatives. Introduction of an aminopyrimidine scaffold resulted in excellent potency. Improvement of physicochemical and ADME properties was achieved by incorporation of a carboxylic acid moiety, resulting in lead compound 29 exhibiting drug-like properties.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
