Discovery and SAR development of 2-(phenylamino) imidazolines as prostacyclin receptor antagonists [corrected]

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Feb 23;14(4):1053-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2003.10.070.

Abstract

On the basis of screening hits (1a,b), a series of selective, high affinity prostacyclin receptor antagonists was developed. The optimized lead compound 25d [(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-[4-(4-isopropoxybenzyl)phenyl]amine] had analgesic activity in the rat.
