Setipiprant (ACT-129968 and KYTH-105) is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable and selective CRTH2 antagonist. It has been demonstrated to be more specific for DP2 (prostaglandin D2 receptor 2-CRTH2) than for DP1. The G protein-coupled receptor for PGD2 is called CRTH2. When taken orally in multiple doses, setipiprant was well tolerated and in allergic asthmatics it decreased the allergen-induced lung inflammation as well as the related airway hyperresponsiveness. Treating allergic disorders may benefit from targeting CRTH2.

Biological Activity
| Targets | hCRTH2 ( IC50 = 6 nM ); hDP1 ( IC50 = 1290 nM ); EP2 ( IC50 = 2600 nM ) |
| ln Vitro |
Setipiprant (0-10 μM; 90 min) interacts with the hCRTH2 receptor in the assay buffer both with and without human serum albumin (HSA) with IC50 values of 6 and 340 nM, respectively[1]. Setipiprant (0-10 μM; 5-20 min) inhibits human eosinophil shape change, intracellular cAMP release mediated by the hCRTH2 receptor, and IC50 values of 30, 80, and 235 nM, respectively[1]. Setipiprant (0-10 μM) inhibits the prostanoid receptors hDP1, hEP2, and hEP4 with IC50 values of 1290, 2600, and <10000 nM, respectively[1]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: ~80 mg/mL (~198.8 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.21 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
