This compound inhibits PGE2-induced β-arrestin recruitment in HEK293 cells with an IC50 of 0.9 nM. In RAW 264.7 macrophages, it reduces the expression of PGE2-induced IL-4, macrophage mannose receptor 1 (Mrc1), chitinase-like protein 3 (Chil3), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (Cxcl1), triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2), and arginase 1 (Arg1) mRNA. In the CT26 mouse colon cancer model, EP4 receptor antagonist 7, combined with an anti-PD-1 antibody, inhibits tumor growth and enhances CD8+ T cell infiltration into the tumor.

EP4 receptor antagonist 4 is an agonist of EP4 receptor (human pEC 50 = 6.3) [1].

EP4 receptor antagonist 2 (compound 2-13) is a potent agonist of the EP4 receptor, with an IC50 of 7.8 nM, and exhibits antitumor effects.

EP4 receptor agonist 2 (compound 31) is a potent EP4 receptor agonist, demonstrating an EC50 value of 0.8 nM and K_i values of >100,000, 38,000, and 3.1 nM for the EP2, EP3, and EP4 receptors, respectively [1].

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a natural hormone-like substance involved in various physiological functions, including the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles, dilation and constriction of blood vessels, regulation of blood pressure, and modulation of inflammation. It can be used to induce neuropathic pain models.

MK-2894 is a prostaglandin receptor 4 antagonist.MK-2894 has anti-inflammatory activity and may be used in the study of inflammation.

Aganepag, a potent Prostanoid EP2 receptor agonist, exhibits remarkable selectivity with an EC50 of 0.19 nM, demonstrating no activity at the EP4 receptor. Its applications are primarily in the fields of wound healing, scar reduction, scar prevention, and the treatment and prevention of wrinkles.

L-161982 is a selective EP4 receptor antagonist that inhibits PGE2-induced ERK phosphorylation and cell proliferation in HCA-7 cells and alleviates collagen-induced arthritis in mice.

TP-16 is a novel potent and selective EP4 antagonist that blocks the function of IMCs and enhances cytotoxic T cell-mediated tumor elimination in vivo.

Rebamipide (OPC12759) is a quinolinone derivative with anti-ulcer and anti-inflammatory activities. Rebamipide induces cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) synthesis which results in an increase in endogenous prostaglandin synthesis in the gastric mucosa. This agent also inhibits H. pylori-induced production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and subsequent inflammation of the gastric mucosa. In addition, rebamipide scavenges oxygen-derived free radicals that potentially cause mucosal injury, and stimulates prostaglandin EP4 receptor gene expression followed by mucous secretion, thereby enhancing the gastric mucosal defense.

L-902688 is an orally active EP4 receptor agonist (Ki: 0.38 nM; EC50: 0.6 nM). L-902688 displays >4,000-fold selective for EP4 over other EP and prostanoid receptors.

Prostaglandin E1 (Alprostadil) is the naturally occurring prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) which displays a variety of pharmacologic actions. Prostaglandin E1 is a potent vasodilator agent that increases peripheral blood flow, inhibits platelet aggregation, and induces bronchodilation. Used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, this agent produces corporal smooth muscle relaxation by binding to PGE receptors, resulting in the activation of adenylate cyclase and the subsequent accumulation of 3'5'-cAMP.

PF-04418948 is a potent EP2 receptor antagonist (IC50 = 16 nM for human EP2 receptors). Displays over 2000-fold selectivity for EP2 receptors over EP1, EP3, EP4, DP1 amd CRTH2 receptors; exhibits <30% binding at a diverse panel of GPCRs and ion channels at a concentration of 10 μM. Inhibits PGE2-induced increases in intracellular cAMP; reverses PGE2-invoked relaxation of mouse trachea (IC50 = 2.7 nM).

ONO-AE3-208 (AE 3-208) is an EP4 antagonist. It suppresses cell migration, invasion, and metastasis of prostate cancer.

GSK726701A is a new type of prostaglandin E2 receptor 4 (EP4) partial agonist (pEC50: 7.4).

BAY-1316957 is a highly potent and selective EP4 receptor antagonist. With an IC50 of 15.3 nM. Good oral bioavailability[1].

CJ-42794 (CJ-042794) is a selective antagonist of the prostaglandin E receptor subtype 4 (EP4), inhibiting [3H]-PGE2 binding to the human EP4 receptor with a mean pKi of 8.5. It exhibits a binding affinity that is at least 200-fold more selective for the human EP4 receptor than for other human EP receptor subtypes (EP1, EP2, and EP3) (IC50: 8.5 (pKi)).

KAG-308 is an effective selective and orally active agonist of the EP4 receptor (Ki: 2.57 nM and EC50: 17 nM for human EP4 receptor), more selective over EP1, EP2, EP3, and IP receptor. KAG-308 suppresses colitis and promotes histological mucosal healing,
