Applicant has probed the Edg2 lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor with a series of LPA analogs to determine receptor activation. The present invention is drawn to a series of LPA analogs which function as Edg2 receptor agonists, and methods of using such compounds to activate the Edg2 receptor of the surface of a cell. The compounds of the invention comprise a glycerol backbone with an Sn1 ester-linked saturated or unsaturated alkyl group, substitutions of the hydroxyl group (—OH) at carbon two of the glycerol backbone, and optional replacement of the phosphate di-anion with either a hydroxyl group or a dimethylated phosphate. These LPA analogs may find uses in cancer and neurological disorders.
申请人已经使用一系列LPA类似物探索了Edg2赖氨酸磷脂酸(LPA)受体,以确定受体的激活。本发明涉及一系列LPA类似物,其作为Edg2受体激动剂,并且使用这些化合物来激活细胞表面的Edg2受体的方法。该发明的化合物包括具有甘油骨架的Sn1酯基饱和或不饱和烷基基团,取代甘油骨架碳二位的羟基(—OH),以及可选择替换磷酸二阴离子为羟基或二甲基磷酸酯。这些LPA类似物可能在癌症和神经系统疾病中发挥作用。
