摘要

Heptanoic acid lactams, exemplified by 2, were identified as highly selective EP4 agonists via high throughput screening. Lead optimization led to the identification of lactams with a 30- fold increase in EP4 potency in vitro. Compounds demonstrated robust bone anabolic effects when administered in vivo in rat models of osteoporosis.
