Compounds were tested for activation of BLT2 or BLT1 in the IP-One assay in agonist mode. For BLT2, efficacy was determined by comparison to reference agonist CAY10583 at 20 μM each. For BLT1, the reference agonist LTB4 served as a positive control. Inhibition of the second off-target AT1 was tested in the IP-One assay in antagonist mode with [Val5-angiotensin II being present at a constant concentration of 10 nM. **Indicates that the respective compound is a full agonist with efficacy comparible to irbesartan (1). IP-One assays for the determination of EC50 or IC50 with SEM were conducted at least two times (n = 2). Cellular toxicity was tested on Hep-G2 cells treated for 3 days. ATP content as a measure for overall metabolic activity and cell survival was determined using the CellTiter-Glo assay. For 50 μM of compound, the live rate is reported as percent of DMSO control.
