Further optimization of an initial DP receptor antagonist clinical candidate NVP-QAV680 led to the discovery of a follow-up molecule 2-(2-methyl-1-(4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1-pyrrolo[2,3-]pyridin-3-yl)acetic acid (compound , NVP-QAW039, fevipiprant), which exhibits improved potency on human eosinophils and Th2 cells, together with a longer receptor residence time, and is currently in clinical trials for severe asthma.
对首个DP受体拮抗剂临床候选药物NVP-QAV680的进一步优化,促成了后续分子2-(2-甲基-1-(4-(甲基磺酰基)-2-(三氟甲基)苄基)-1-吡咯并[2,3 -]吡啶-3-基)乙酸(化合物,NVP-QAW039,非维普兰特)的发现,该化合物对人嗜酸性粒细胞和Th2细胞表现出更高的效力,同时受体驻留时间更长,目前正处于重症哮喘的临床试验阶段。
