Synthesis, stability, and implications of phosphothioate agonists of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors
摘要:
Phosphothioates may provide metabolic stability when compared to their phosphate counterparts, while retaining the potency and efficacy as agonists at sphingosine-1 -phosphate (SIP) G-protein coupled receptors. Unlike their phosphate precursors, phosphothioate compounds with SIP-receptor profiles similar to that of FTY720, an emerging immunomodulator, were shown to evoke prolonged lymphopenia in vivo. Analysis of mouse plasma concentrations for a series of related alcohol/phosphate/phosphothioate compounds showed the conversion of the phosphate to alcohol. These preliminary data highlight the importance of metabolic regulation of SIP receptor ligands. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
