摘要
The discovery of highly potent and selective second generation EP4 antagonist MK-2894 (34d) is discussed. This compound exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic profile in a number of preclinical species and potent anti-inflammatory activity in several animal models of pain/inflammation. It also shows favorable GI tolerability profile in rats when compared to traditional NSAID indomethacin.
