The present invention includes methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors, and modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands. The present invention also includes modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands having Formula (I), its subgenus, and specific compounds. Furthermore, the present invention includes ingestible compositions comprising the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands and methods of using the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands to enhance the sweet taste of an ingestible composition or treat a condition associated with a chemosensory receptor. In addition, the present invention include processes for preparing the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands.
本发明涉及识别化学感受器及其配体的修饰剂的方法,例如,通过确定测试实体是否适合与化学感受器的食虫植物结构域内的一个或多个相互作用位点相互作用来确定。本发明还包括能够调节化学感受器及其配体的修饰剂。本发明还包括具有公式(I)、其亚属和特定化合物的化学感受器及其配体的修饰剂。此外,本发明包括包含化学感受器及其配体的修饰剂的可食用组合物,并使用化学感受器及其配体的修饰剂来增强可食用组合物的甜味或治疗与化学感受器相关的疾病的方法。此外,本发明还包括制备化学感受器及其配体的修饰剂的方法。
