Discovery of heteroaryl sulfonamides as new EP1 receptor selective antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem. 2006 Oct 1;14(19):6628-39. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2006.05.076. Epub 2006 Jun 19.

Abstract

4-({2-[Isobutyl(phenylsulfonyl)amino]-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy}methyl)benzoic acid (1) is a functional PGE2 antagonist selective for EP1 receptor subtype. Analogs of 1, in which the phenyl-sulfonyl moiety has been replaced with more hydrophilic heteroarylsulfonyl moieties, exhibited more optimized antagonist activity, while some of them showed in vivo antagonist activity. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies are also presented.
