Ligand-based virtual screening identifies a family of selective cannabinoid receptor 2 agonists
摘要:
The cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) has been linked with the regulation of inflammation, and selective receptor activation has been proposed as a target for the treatment of a range of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and arthritis. In order to identify selective CB2R agonists with appropriate physicochemical and ADME properties for future evaluation in vivo, we first performed a ligand-based virtual screen. Subsequent medicinal chemistry optimisation studies led to the identification of a new class of selective CB2R agonists. Several examples showed high levels of activity (EC50 < 200 nM) and binding affinity (K-i < 200 nM) for the CB2R, and no detectable activity at the CB1R. The most promising example, DIAS2, also showed favourable in vitro metabolic stability and absorption properties along with a clean selectivity profile when evaluated against a panel of GPCRs and kinases.

The present invention relates to cannabinnoid-2-receptor (CB2R) agonist compounds. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of these compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and to their use as therapeutic agents for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases or conditions in which CB2R stimulation is beneficial (especially inflammatory conditions).
