Novel Selective Orally Active CRTH2 Antagonists for Allergic Inflammation Developed from in Silico Derived Hits UlvenTrond ReceveurJean-Marie GrimstrupMarie RistØystein FrimurerThomas M.

Oral administration of 4-bromo-2-(1-phenyl-1<i>H</i>-pyrazole-4-carbonyl)phenoxyacetic acid (<b>19</b>) inhibited peribronchial eosinophilia and mucus cell hyperplasia in a mouse model of allergic asthma, supporting the therapeutic potential of this novel compound class. In addition, this selective pharmacological tool compound provides further evidence for CRTH2 as a relevant therapeutic target for treatment of Th2- and eosinophil-related inflammation.
