S1P(3)-sparing S1P(1) agonists have attracted attention as a suppressant of autoimmunity with reduced side effects. Our synthetic efforts and extensive SAR studies led to the discovery of 10b named CS-2100 with the EC50 value of 4.0 nM for human S1P(1) and over 5000-fold selectivity against S1P(3). The in vivo immunosuppressive efficacy was evaluated in rats on host versus graft reaction and the ID50 value was determined at 0.407 mg/kg. The docking studies of CS-2100 with the homology model of S1P(1) and S1P(3) showed that the ethyl group on the thiophene ring of CS-2100 was sterically hindered by Phe263 in S1P(3), not in the case of Leu276 in S1P(1). This observation gives an explanation for the excellent S1P(3)-sparing characteristic of CS-2100. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
