Discovery of 2-(1H-indazol-1-yl)-thiazole derivatives as selective EP 1 receptor antagonists for treatment of overactive bladder by core structure replacement
We have designed a series of potent EP1 receptor antagonists. These antagonists are a series of 2-(1H-indazol-1-yl)-thiazoles in which the core structure was replaced with pyrazole-phenyl groups. In preliminary conscious rat cystometry experiments, two representative candidates, 2 and 22, increased bladder capacity. In particular, the increase using 22 was approximately 2-fold that of the baseline. More detailed profiling of this compound and further optimization of this series promises to provide a novel class of drug for treating overactive bladder (OAB).
A nitrogen-containing bicyclic heterocyclic compound represented by the following formula (1) is provided. When the compound or a salt thereof is administered to a human being or an animal, the compound has a strong antagonistic action against EP1 recepto
