Neuroprotection by selective allosteric potentiators of the EP2 prostaglandin receptor.
Activation of the Galphas-coupled EP2 receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) promotes cell survival in several models of tissue damage. To advance understanding of EP2 functions, we designed experiments to develop allosteric potentiators of this key prostaglandin receptor. Screens of 292,000 compounds identified 93 that at 20 microM (i) potentiated the cAMP response to a low concentration of PG...
متن کاملAn EP2 receptor-selective prostaglandin E2 agonist induces bone healing.
The morbidity and mortality associated with impaired/delayed fracture healing remain high. Our objective was to identify a small nonpeptidyl molecule with the ability to promote fracture healing and prevent malunions. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) causes significant increases in bone mass and bone strength when administered systemically or locally to the skeleton. However, due to side effects, PGE2 i...
متن کاملInteraction between Antagonist of Cannabinoid Receptor and Antagonist of Adrenergic Receptor on Anxiety in Male Rat
Introduction: Anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. Adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (AM251) i...
متن کاملAsymmetric synthesis of a selective endothelin A receptor antagonist.
An asymmetric synthesis of a selective endothelin A receptor antagonist 1b is described. Asymmetric conjugate addition of aryllithium derived from 18 to the chiral oxazoline 17 followed by hydrolysis afforded 15 in 96% ee via purification as (S)-(-)-1-phenylethylamine salt. Pd(OAc)(2)/dppf (1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) catalyzed carbonylation followed by chemoselective addition of aryl...
متن کاملPharmacologic Characterization of Omidenepag Isopropyl, a Novel Selective EP2 Receptor Agonist, as an Ocular Hypotensive Agent.
Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate the pharmacologic characteristics of omidenepag isopropyl (OMDI), a compound developed as a novel intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering agent, with better IOP control and fewer side effects than other prostanoid receptor agonists such as prostaglandin F receptor (FP) agonists. Methods Binding activities of OMDI and its hydrolyzed form, omid...
