ep1/2 receptor

L-798106 (CM9) is a selective and potent prostaglandin-like EP3 receptor antagonist that inhibits EP4, EP1, and EP2 receptors, suppresses levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in atherosclerosis, and attenuates PGE2-induced cough.

Butaprost is a chemical compound that functions as a selective agonist for the prostaglandin E receptor (EP2). It exhibits an EC50 of 33 nM and a Ki of 2.4 μM when interacting with the murine EP2 receptor. However, Butaprost demonstrates lower activity against murine EP1, EP3, and EP4 receptors. Furthermore, it effectively attenuates fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad2 signaling pathway [1] [2] [3].

Prostaglandin E2 activates four distinct G protein-coupled receptors, EP1-4. Rivenprost is a potent and selective agonist for the EP4 receptor (Ki = 0.7, 56, 620, and >10,000 nM for EP4, EP3, EP2, and EP1, respectively). It has been used to promote EP4-mediated bone formation, prevent bone loss related to osteoporosis, drive osteoblast differentiation, and stabilize bone implants.[1][2][3][4][5] Rivenprost has also been used to support wound healing.[6]

Selective prostacyclin IP receptor antagonist (pKi = 8.3). Exhibits no affinity at other prostanoid receptors (EP1-4, FP and TP) in a radioligand binding assay. Demonstrates analgesic activity in rats. Orally bioavailable. Clark et al (2004) Discovery and SAR development of 2-(phenylamino) imidazolines as prostacyclin receptor antagonists.
