RESUMO
High-throughput screening and subsequent optimization led to the discovery of novel 3-oxazolidinedione-6-aryl-pyridinones exemplified by compound 2 as potent and selective EP3 antagonists with excellent pharmacokinetic properties. Compound 2 was orally active and showed robust in vivo activities in overactive bladder models. To address potential bioactivation liabilities of compound 2, further optimization resulted in compounds 9 and 10, which maintained excellent potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties and showed no bioactivation liability in glutathione trapping studies. These highly potent, selective, and orally active EP3 antagonists are excellent tool compounds for investigating and validating potential therapeutic benefits from selectively inhibiting the EP3 receptor.
RESUMO
High throughput screening and subsequent optimization led to the discovery of novel quaternary ammonium salts as highly potent muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists with excellent selectivity. Compounds 8a, 13a, and 13b showed excellent inhibitory activity and long duration of action in bronchoconstriction in vivo models in two species via intranasal or intratracheal administration. The novel inhaled muscarinic receptor antagonists are potentially useful therapeutic agents for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other bronchoconstriction disorders.

High-throughput screening of the corporate compound collection led to the discovery of a novel series of N-substituted-5-aryl-oxazolidinones as potent human CCR8 antagonists. The synthesis, structure-activity relationships, and optimization of the series that led to the identification of SB-649701 (1a), are described.
