Abstract

Two new series of EP4 antagonists containing a 3-methylaryl-2-carbonyl core have been identified. One series has a 3-substituted-phenyl core, while the other one incorporates a 3-substituted pyridine. Both series led to compounds with potent activity in functional and human whole blood (hWB) assays. In the pyridine series, compound 7a was found to be a highly potent and selective EP4 antagonist, with suitable rat and dog pharmacokinetic profiles.
