Compounds which modulate the CB2 receptor are disclosed. Compounds according to the invention bind to and are agonists of the CB2 receptor, and are useful for treating inflammation. Those compounds which are agonists are additionally useful for treating pain.
Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) is an intestinotropic peptide that binds to GLP-2 receptor (GLP-2R), a class-B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Few synthetic agonists have been reported so far for class-B GPCRs. Here, we report the first scaffold compounds of ago-allosteric modulators for human GLP-2R, derived from methyl 2-[(2Z)-2-(2,5-dichlorothiophen-3-yl)-2-(hydroxyimino) ethyl] sulfanyl}benzoate (compound 1).
