Structure-activity relationship studies of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonists with N-cinnamyl-β-alanine moiety

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Mar 1;21(5):1390-3. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2011.01.029. Epub 2011 Jan 11.

Abstract

Structure-activity relationship of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonist was examined. In terms of reducing the flexibility of molecule, hit compound 1 was modified to improve S1P(1) agonistic activity as well as selectivity over S1P(3) agonistic activity. Novel S1P agonists with cinnamyl scaffold or 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine scaffold were identified.
