A series of 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ones was synthesized and tested for activity as antagonists at GPR55 in cellular beta-arrestin redistribution assays. The synthesis was designed to be modular in nature so that a sufficient number of analogues could be rapidly accessed to explore initial structure-activity relationships. The design of analogues was guided by the docking of potential compounds into a model of the inactive form of GPR55. The results of the assays were used to learn more about the binding pocket of GPR55. With this oxadiazolone scaffold, it was determined that modification of the aryl group adjacent to the oxadiazolone ring was often detrimental and that the distal cyclopropane was beneficial for activity. These results will guide further exploration of this receptor.
合成了一系列1,3,4-恶二唑-2-酮,并在细胞β-抑制蛋白再分布试验中测试了其作为GPR55拮抗剂的活性。合成设计本质上是模块化的,以便能够快速获得足够数量的类似物,以探索初步的构效关系。类似物的设计以潜在化合物对接至GPR55无活性形式模型为指导。试验结果用于更深入了解GPR55的结合口袋。使用这种恶二唑酮支架,确定恶二唑酮环相邻芳基的修饰通常是有害的,而远端环丙烷对活性有益。这些结果将指导对该受体的进一步探索。
