Discovery of ONO-7300243 from a Novel Class of Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 1 Antagonists: From Hit to Lead.

ABSTRACT: Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) evokes various physiological responses through a series of G protein-coupled receptors known as LPA_1-6. A high throughput screen against LPA₁ gave compound 7a as a hit. The subsequent optimization of 7a led to ONO-7300243 (17a) as a novel, potent LPA₁ antagonist, which showed good efficacy in vivo. The oral dosing of 17a at 30 mg/kg led to reduced intraurethral pressure in rats. Notably, this compound was equal in potency to the α₁ adrenoceptor antagonist tamsulosin, which is used in clinical practice to treat dysuria with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In contrast to tamsulosin, compound 17a had no impact on the mean blood pressure at this dose. These results sugge
