ABSTRACT
Structure-activity relationship of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonists was examined. Cinnamyl derivative 1 was modified to improve S1P(1) agonistic activity as well as selectivity over S1P(3) agonistic activity. Dihydronaphthalene derivative 10d was identified as a potent S1P(1) receptor agonist with high selectivity against S1P(3) and enhanced efficacy in lowering peripheral lymphocyte counts in mice.
