Discovery of selective indole-based prostaglandin D2 receptor antagonist

A series of N-benzoyl-2-methylindole-3-acetic acids were synthesized and biologically evaluated as prostaglandin (PG) D2 receptor antagonists. Some of the selected compounds significantly inhibited OVA-induced vascular permeability in guinea pig conjunctiva after oral dosing. Structure–activity relationship study is presented.
