Improvement of EP4-receptor selectivity and the agonist activity by introduction of heteroatoms into the α chain of PGE1 was investigated. Among the compounds tested, 3,7-dithiaPGE1 4a exhibited good EP4-receptor selectivity and agonist activity. Further modification of the ω chain of 3,7-dithiaPGE1 was performed to improve EP4-receptor selectivity and agonist activity. Of the compounds produced, 16-phenyl-ω-tetranor-3,7-dithiaPGE1 4p possessing moderate EP4-receptor selectivity and agonist activity, was identified as a new chemical lead for further optimization by modification of the aromatic moiety.
