Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Mar 1;20(5):1516-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.01.102. Epub 2010 Jan 25.

Abstract

The discovery of a novel series of S1P1 agonists is described. Starting from a micromolar HTS positive, iterative optimization gave rise to several single-digit nanomolar S1P1 agonists. The compounds were able to induce internalization of the S1P1 receptor, and a selected compound was shown to be able to induce lymphopenia in mice after oral dosing.
