Analogs 8-aza-16-aryl prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) and 8-aza-5-thia-16-arylPGE(1) were synthesized and evaluated with respect to their subtype receptor affinity and EP4 agonist activity for the purposes of identifying subtype-selective EP4 agonists that demonstrate oral efficacy. Using an inhibition assay of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production in rats, representative compounds were evaluated for their pharmacokinetic profiles and in vivo efficacy. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) were characterized and presented.

For the purpose of discovering an orally available EP4 subtype-selective agonist, a series of 8-aza prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their affinity for PGE(2) receptor subtypes. Additionally, the structure-activity relationships of these compounds were studied. Among the tested compounds, the 8-aza PGE(1) analog 6 and 8-aza-5-thiaPGE(1) analog 12 had highly potent EP4 receptor affinity, good functional activity, and excellent subtype-selectivity.

1 The ability of various prostaglandins (PGs) to inhibit monocyte chemotaxis induced by monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was investigated with a human monocytic leukaemia cell line, THP-1. Moreover, to investigate the mechanism of the inhibitory action of PGs the involvement of either intracellular adenosine 3': 5'-cyclic monosphosphate (cyclic AMP) accumulation or intracellular Ca2+ mobilization was studied. 2 TEI-6122, a synthetic 7-thia-PGE1 derivative, inhibited chemotaxis of THP-1 cells induced by MCP-1 with an IC50 of 1.
