    Abstract:
    7-Oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane analogs of prostaglandin (PG) H2 can act as thromboxane (Tx) A2 receptor antagonists or agonists, PGI2 and/or PGD2 receptor agonists, or exhibit a mixture of the above activities. SQ 28,852, a new analog with a hexyloxymethyl omega side chain, is a potent inhibitor of PG synthesis. SQ 28,852 inhibited collagen and arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation and TxB2 and PGE2 formation, but did not block platelet aggregation induced by ADP or the TxA2 mimics, 9,11-azo PGH2, SQ 26,655, and U-46,619. It also blocked conversion of AA to TxB2, PGE2, and 6-keto PGF1 alpha by microsomal preparations of human platelets, bovine seminal vesicles, and bovine aortas, respectively, but did not inhibit the conversion of PGH2 to TxA2 by the platelet microsomal preparation. SQ 28,852 (p.o.) protected mice against the lethal effects of AA (75 mg/kg, i.v.). The I50 values for SQ 28,852, indomethacin and aspirin were 0.025, 0.05 and 15 mg/kg, respectively. Neither SQ 28,852 nor indomethacin protected mice from death caused by 9,11-azo PGH2. SQ 28,852 (0.01 to 1 mg/kg, i.v.) inhibited AA-induced bronchoconstriction in anesthetized guinea pigs for at least 60 min. As an inhibitor of AA-induced bronchoconstriction, SQ 28,852 was 16- and 45-times more potent than indomethacin at 3 and 60 min after i.v. administration, respectively. SQ 28,852 did not inhibit bronchoconstriction induced by histamine or 9,11-azo PGH2, indicating its specificity of action in vivo. SQ 28,852 is the first example of a new class of cyclooxygenase inhibitors whose structure is similar to that of the naturally occurring endoperoxide, PGH2.
