Setipiprant is an orally available, selective CRTH2 antagonist. CRTH2 is a G protein-coupled receptor for PGD2. IC50 value: 6.0 nM Target: PGD2 in vitro: Setipiprant is an orally available, selective CRTH2 (chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on T helper [Th]-2 cells) antagonist. CRTH2 is a G protein-coupled receptor for prostaglandin (PGD2). PGD2 is produced by the mast cells and is a key mediator in various inflammatory diseases, including allergy and asthma. Binding of PGD2 to CRTH2, which are expressed on the surface of blood-borne cells, induces chemotaxis of Th2 cells, basophils, and eosinophils, and stimulates cytokine release from these cells. Thus, antagonism of CRTH2 receptors is considered to be a promising therapeutic target for various allergic diseases and asthma.
