title: 1,3-Disubstituted-2-carboxy quinolones: highly potent and selective endothelin A receptor antagonists.
abstract: The design, synthesis, and in vitro biological activity of a series of 2-carboxy quinolone antagonists selective for the endothelin A receptor are presented. Introduction of a second acid group in position 3 of the quinolone ring increases dramatically the selectivity for ET(A).
