Hits from an in silico derived focused library for CRTH2were transformed into highly selective antagonists with favorableADME properties. Oral administration of 4-bromo-2-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl)phenoxyacetic acid (19) inhibited peribronchialeosinophilia and mucus cell hyperplasia in a mouse model of allergicasthma, supporting the therapeutic potential of this novel compoundclass. In addition, this selective pharmacological tool compoundprovides further evidence for CRTH2 as a relevant therapeutic targetfor treatment of Th2- and eosinophil-related inflammation.
