Abstract: A series of novel ortho-substituted cinnamic acids have been synthesized, and their binding activity and selectivity on the four prostaglandin E(2) receptors evaluated. Many of them are very potent and selective EP(3) antagonists (K(i) 3-10 nM), while compound 9 is a very good and selective EP(2) agonist (K(i) 8 nM). The biological profile of the EP(2) agonist 9 in vivo and the metabolic profile of selected EP(3) antagonists are also reported.
