Abstract
Description
[0001] TITLE MRGPRX2 ANTAGONISTS, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION INCLUDING MRGPRX2 ANTAGONIST, AND METHOD OF TREATING MRGPRX2-MEDIATED DISEASE OR DISORDER CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Application No.63 / 636,536, filed April 19, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND Technical Field The present invention relates to MRGPRX2 antagonists, a pharmaceutical composition including a MRGPRX2 antagonist, and a method of treating an MRGPRX2- mediated disease or disorder. Description of Background Art Mast cells are involved in a variety of inflammatory diseases, and antigen- dependent activation of tissue mast cells with IgE bound to their surface is a major event in acute allergic reactions. In addition to the case where mast cells are activated by the combination of IgE-allergen, there is the case where the ligand directly stimulates and activates the Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor (MRGPR) on the mast cells. In particular, many new studies on MRGPRX2-mediated IgE-independent mast cell activation have been reported in recent years. International Publication No. WO 2021 / 092264 describes compounds as an MRGPRX2 antagonist. The entire contents of this publication are incorporated herein by reference.
