- Novel S1P1 receptor agonists - Part 1: From pyrazoles to thiophenes
-
From a high-throughput screening campaign aiming at the identification of novel S1P1 receptor agonists, the pyrazole derivative 2 emerged as a hit structure. Medicinal chemistry efforts focused not only on improving the potency of the compound but in particular also on resolving its inherent instability issue. This led to the discovery of novel bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane fused thiophene derivatives. Compounds with high affinity and selectivity for S1P1 efficiently reducing the blood lymphocyte count in the rat were identified. For instance, compound 85 showed EC50 values of 7 and 2880 nM on S1P1 and S1P3, respectively, had favorable pharmacokinetic properties in rat and dog, distributed well into brain tissue, and efficiently and dose dependently reduced the blood lymphocyte count in the rat. After oral administration to spontaneously hypertensive rats, the S1P 1 selective compound 85 showed no effect on mean arterial blood pressure and affected the heart rate during the wake phase of the animals only.

- New thiadiazole derivatives
-
The present invention relates to thiadiazole derivatives of formula (I), to processes for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them. These compounds are potent agonists of S1P1 receptors and thus, they are useful in the treatment, prevention or suppression of diseases and disorders known to be susceptible to improvement by sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors agonists (S1P1), such as autoimmune diseases, chronic immune and inflammatory diseases, transplant rejection, malignant neoplastic diseases, angiogenic-related disorders, pain, neurological diseases, viral and infectious diseases.
