A novel series of pyridone-based EP3 receptor antagonists was optimized for good physical properties and oral bioavailability in rodents. The lead compounds 3h, 3l and 4d displayed good in vitro profiles, moderate to good metabolic stability and good rodent PK profiles with low clearance, high oral exposure and acceptable half-life.

A novel series of pyridones were discovered as potent EP3 antagonists. Optimization guided by EP3 binding and functional assays as well as by eADME and PK profiling led to multiple compounds with good physical properties, excellent oral bioavailability, and a clean in vitro safety profile. Compound was identified as a lead compound as evidenced by the reversal of sulprostone-induced suppression of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in INS 1E β-cells in vitro and in a rat ivGTT model in vivo.
