Neuropathic pain (NP) is a complex chronic pain state with a prevalence of almost 10% in the general population. Pharmacological options for NP are limited and weakly effective, so there is a need to develop more efficacious NP attenuating drugs. Activation of the type 1 lysophosphatidic acid (LPA1) receptor is a crucial factor in the initiation of NP. Hence, it is conceivable that a functional antagonism strategy could lead to NP mitigation. Here we describe a new series of LPA1 agonists among which derivative (S)-17 (UCM-05194) stands out as the most potent and selective LPA1 receptor agonist described so far (Emax = 118%, EC50 = 0.24 μM, KD = 19.6 nM; inactive at autotaxin and LPA2-6 receptors). This compound induces characteristic LPA1-mediated cellular effects and prompts the internalization of the receptor leading to its functional inactivation in primary sensory neurons and to an efficacious attenuation of the pain perception in an in vivo model of NP.

New efficient routes to enantiopure phospholipids, starting from (S)-glycidol, are described. Lysophosphatidic acids and phosphatidic acids were obtained in good overall yields from (S)-glycidol, in only three and four steps, respectively. Moreover, the strategy can also be used to produce phosphatidylcholines in three steps. Using dialkylphosphoramidites, (S)-glycidol was phosphorylated to give (R)-1-O-glycidyl dialkyl phosphates. Regiospecific epoxide opening, using hexadecanol or cesium palmitate, followed by phosphate deprotection, provided lysophosphatidic acids. 2-O-Esterification prior to phosphate deprotection provided 1,2-O-diacyl and 1-O-alkyl-2-O-acyl phosphatidic acids. Phosphorylation of (S)-glycidol using phosphorus oxychloride followed by in situ treatment with choline tosylate produced (R)-glycidyl phosphocholine. Subsequent nucleophilic opening of the epoxide using cesium palmitate produced 1-O palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, which has been used in syntheses of phosphatidylcholines.
