Oxydecahydronaphthalene modulators of HM74
View Patent ↗Host cells expressing HM74 were used to obtain oxydecalin-like molecules with agonist activity having the following structure:
1. A method for identifying an agonist of HM74 comprising, contacting a potential agonist with a cell expressing HM74 and determining whether in the presence of said potential agonist the signaling activity of HM74 is increased relative to the activity of HM74 in the absence of said potential agonist, wherein said potential agonist has the structure:
where X is O, NR 2 or S;
R 1 is a C 1 -C 18 alkyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; a C 1 -C 18 alkenyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; a C 1 -C 18 alkynl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof: a C 3 -C 18 aryl which may contain a side group, may contain a bridge, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or a C 5 -C 18 cycloalkyl which may contain a side group, may contain a bridge, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or combinations thereof;
R2 is an R1 group, a (C1-C10) alkyl-(C3-C10) cycloalkyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or X and R2 may form a ring;
R3 is H or R1; and
Y is carbonyl, a Schiff base, an oxine, a ketal, an acetal, an oxazolidine, a thiazolidine or an enol ester.
2. A method for identifying an inverse agonist of HM74 comprising, contacting a potential inverse agonist with a cell expressing HM74 and determining whether in the presence of said potential inverse agonist, the activity of HM74 is decreased relative to the activity of HM74 in the absence of said potential inverse agonist, and is decreased in the presence of an agonist, wherein said potential inverse agonist has the structure:
where X is O, NR 2 or S;
R 1 is a C 1 -C 18 alkyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; a C 1 -C 18 alkenyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; a C 1 -C 18 alkynl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; a C 3 -C 18 aryl which may contain a side group, may contain a bridge, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or a C 5 -C 18 cycloalkyl which may contain a side group, may contain a bridge, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or combinations thereof;
R 2 is an R 1 group, a (C 1 -C 10 ) alkyl-(C 3 -C 10 ) cycloalkyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or X and R 2 may form a ring;
R 3 is an H or R 1 ; and
Y is carbonyl or oxygen bound to a Schiff base, an oxine, a ketal, an acetal, an oxazolidine, a thiazolidine or an enol ester.
3. A method for identifying an antagonist of HM74 comprising, contacting a potential antagonist with a cell expressing HM74 and determining whether in the presence of said potential antagonist the signaling activity of HM74 is decreased relative to the activity of HM74 in the presence of an agonist, wherein said potential antagonist has the structure:
where X is O, NR 2 or S;
R 1 is a C 1 -C 18 alkyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; a C 1 -C 18 alkenyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; a C 1 -C 18 alkynl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; a C 3 -C 18 aryl which may contain a side group, may contain a bridge, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or a C 5 -C 8 cycloalkyl which may contain a side group, may contain a bridge, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or combinations thereof;
R 2 is an R 1 group, a (C 1 -C 10 ) alkyl-(C 3 -C 10 ) cycloalkyl, which may be branched, may contain a heteroatom or may be substituted, or combinations thereof; or X and R 2 may form a ring;
R 3 is H or R 1 ; and
Y is carbonyl, a Schiff base, an oxine, a ketal, an acetal, an oxazolidine, a thiazolidine or an enol ester.
