3-Oxa-15-cyclohexyl prostaglandin DP receptor agonists as topical antiglaucoma agents.

A series of prostaglandin DP agonists containing a 3-oxa-15-cyclohexyl motif was synthesized and evaluated in several in vitro and in vivo biological assays. The reference compound ZK 118.182 (9beta-chloro-15-cyclohexyl-3-oxa-omega-pentanor PGF(2alpha)) is a potent full agonist at the prostaglandin DP receptor.
