摘要

Studies of the role of the prostaglandin EP(2) receptor) have been limited by the availability of potent and selective antagonist tools. Here we describe the in vitro/in vivo pharmacological characterization of a novel EP(2) receptor antagonist, PF-04418948 (1-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-3-{[(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)oxy]methyl} azetidine-3-carboxylic acid). Functional antagonist potency was assessed in cell-based systems expressing human EP(2) receptors and native tissue preparations from human, dog and mouse. The selectivity of PF-04418948 was assessed against related receptors and a panel of GPCRs, ion channels and enzymes. The ability of PF-04418948 to pharmacologically block EP(2) receptor function in vivo was tested in rats. PF-04418948 inhibited prostaglandin E(2)(PGE(2))-induced increase in cAMP in cells expressing EP(2) receptors with a functional K(B) value of 1.8 nM. In human myometrium, PF-04418948 produced a parallel, rightward shift of the butaprost-induced inhibition of the contractions induced by electrical field stimulation with an apparent K(B) of 5.4 nM. In dog bronchiole and mouse trachea, PF-04418948 produced parallel rightward shifts of the PGE(2)-induced relaxation curve with a K(B) of 2.5 nM and an apparent K(B) of 1.3 nM respectively. Reversal of the PGE(2)-induced relaxation in the mouse trachea by PF-04418948 produced an IC(50) value of 2.7 nM. Given orally, PF-04418948 attenuated the butaprost-induced cutaneous blood flow response in rats. PF-04418948 was selective for EP(2) receptors over homologous and unrelated receptors, enzymes and channels. PF-04418948 is an orally active, potent and selective surmountable EP(2) receptor antagonist that should aid further elaboration of EP(2) receptor function.
