L-161,982

Description

Prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) exerts its effects through four separate G coupled-protein receptors (EP_1-4). L-161,982 is a potent and selective EP₄ receptor antagonist. It demonstrates selective binding to human EP₄ receptors with a K_i value of 0.024 μM compared to other receptors of the prostanoid family, EP₁, EP₂, EP₃, DP, FP, and IP, with K_i values of 17, 23, 1.9, 5.1, 5.6, and 6.7 μM, respectively. L-161,982 at 10 mg/kg/day suppresses PGE₂-stimulated bone formation in young rats and at 100 nM reverses the anti-inflammatory action of PGE₂ in LPS-activated human macrophages. At 10 μM L-161982 blocks PGE₂-induced cell proliferation in HCA-7 colon cancer cells.

The Uses of L-161,982

L-161,982 is an EP4 receptor antagonist, which blocks prostaglandin E2-induced signal transduction and cell proliferation in HCA-7 colon cancer cells.

Definition

ChEBI: N-[2-[4-[[3-butyl-5-oxo-1-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]methyl]phenyl]phenyl]sulfonyl-3-methyl-2-thiophenecarboxamide is a member of biphenyls.

Biological Activity

EP 4 receptor antagonist that is selective over all other members of the prostanoid receptor family (K i values are 0.024, 0.71, 1.90, 5.10, 5.63, 6.74, 19 and 23 μ M for human EP 4 , TP, EP 3 , DP, FP, IP, EP 1 and EP 2 receptors respectively). Suppresses PGE 2 -induced bone formation in rats and prevents the nociceptive response induced by misoprostol in formalin-injected mice.
