Abstract: A series of 3-(2-aminocarbonyl-4-phenoxymethylphenyl)propanoic acid analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their EP3 antagonist activity in the presence of additive serum albumin. Several compounds were biologically evaluated for their in vivo efficacy with respect to the PGE(2)-induced uterine contraction in pregnant rats as well as their pharmacokinetics. The discovery process of these potent and selective EP3 antagonists and their structure activity relationship are also presented.
