The discovery of 1-({6-[(2-methoxy-4-propylbenzyl)oxy]-1-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl}methyl)azetidine-3-carboxylic acid 13n (ceralifimod, ONO-4641), a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist selective for S1P1 and S1P5, is described. While it has been revealed that the modulation of the S1P1 receptor is an effective way to treat autoimmune diseases such as relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), it was also reported that activation of the S1P3 receptor is implicated in some undesirable effects. We carried out a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of hit compound 6 with an amino acid moiety in the hydrophilic head region. Following identification of a lead compound with a dihydronaphthalene central core by inducing conformational constraint, optimization of the lipophilic tail region led to the discovery of 13n as a clinical candidate that exhibited >30 000-fold selectivity for S1P1 over S1P3 and was potent in a peripheral lymphocyte lowering (PLL) test in mice (ED50 = 0.029 mg/kg, 24 h after oral dosing).

Versatile ruthenium(II) complexes allow for site-selective C-H oxygenations with weakly-coordinating aldehydes. The challenging C-H functionalizations proceed with high chemoselectivity by rate-determining C-H metalation. The new method features an ample substrate scope, which sets the stage for the step-economical preparation of various bioactive heterocycles.

Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is associated with the development of many pathologic conditions. The product of COX-2, prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), can spontaneously rearrange to form reactive γ-ketoaldehydes called levuglandins (LGs). This γ-ketoaldehyde structure confers a high degree of reactivity on the LGs, which rapidly form covalent adducts with primary amines of protein residues. Formation of LG adducts of proteins has been demonstrated in pathologic conditions (e.g., increased levels in the hippocampus in Alzheimer's disease) and during physiologic function (platelet activation). On the basis of knowledge that lipid modification of proteins is known to cause their translocation and to alter their function, we hypothesize that modification of proteins by LG could have functional consequences. Testing this hypothesis requires an experimental approach that discriminates between the effects of protein modification by LG and the effects of cyclooxygenase-derived prostanoids acting through their G-protein coupled receptors. To achieve this goal, we have synthesized and evaluated a series of scavengers that react with LG with a potency more than 2 orders of magnitude greater than that with the ε-amine of lysine. A subset of these scavengers are shown to block the formation of LG adducts of proteins in cells without inhibiting the catalytic activity of the cyclooxygenases. Ten of these selective scavengers did not produce cytotoxicity. These results demonstrate that small molecules can scavenge LGs in cells without interfering with the formation of prostaglandins. They also provide a working hypothesis for the development of pharmacologic agents that could be used in experimental animals in vivo to assess the pathophysiological contribution of levuglandins in diseases associated with cyclooxygenase up-regulation.
