The YAP-TEAD transcriptional complex is responsible for the expression of genes that regulate cancer cell growth and proliferation. Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway due to overexpression of TEAD has been reported in a wide range of cancers. Inhibition of TEAD represses the expression of associated genes, demonstrating the value of this transcription factor for the development of novel anti-cancer therapies. We report herein the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of LM98, a flufenamic acid analogue. LM98 shows strong affinity to TEAD, inhibits its autopalmitoylation and reduces the YAP-TEAD transcriptional activity. Binding of LM98 to TEAD was supported by 19F-NMR studies while co-crystallization experiments confirmed that LM98 is anchored within the palmitic acid pocket of TEAD. LM98 reduces the expression of CTGF and Cyr61, inhibits MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell migration and arrests cell cycling in the S phase during cell division.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors play major roles in cardiovascular, immunological and neurological diseases. The recent approval of the sphingolipid drug Fingolimod (Gilenya), a sphingosine-1-phosphate agonist for relapsing multiple sclerosis, in 2010 exemplifies the potential for targeting sphingolipids for the treatment of human disorders. Moreover, non-invasive in vivo imaging of S1P receptors that are not available till now would contribute to the understanding of their role in specific pathologies and is therefore of preclinical interest. Based on fluorinated analogues of the S1P1receptor antagonist W146 showing practically equal in vitro potency as the lead structure, the first S1P receptor antagonist [18F]-radiotracer has been synthesized and tested for in vivo imaging of the S1P1receptor using positron emission tomography (PET). Though the tracer is serum stable, initial in vivo images show fast metabolism and subsequent accumulation of free [18F]fluoride in the bones.

The present invention relates to S1P analogs that have activity as S1Preceptor modulating agents and the use of such compounds to treat diseases associated with inappropriate S1P receptor activity. The compounds have the general structure (I) wherein R11 is C5-C18 alkyl or C5-C18 alkenyl; Q is selected from the group consisting of C3-C6 optionally substituted cycloalkyl, C3-C6 optionally substituted heterocyclic, C3-C6 optionally substituted aryl C3-C6 optionally substituted heteroaryl and; R2 is selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C4 alkyl, (C1-C4 alkyl)OH and (C1-C4 alkyl)NH2; R23 is H or C1-C4 alkyl, and R15 is a phosphonate ester or a phosphate ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or tautomer thereof.
