Abstract

GPR4, a G-protein coupled receptor, functions as a proton sensor being activated by extracellular acidic pH and has been implicated in playing a key role in acidosis associated with a variety of inflammatory conditions. An orally active GPR4 antagonist 39c was developed, starting from a high throughput screening hit 1. The compound shows potent cellular activity and is efficacious in animal models of angiogenesis, inflammation and pain.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
