摘要
The binding of Sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P)with the S1PR1-5 plays a fundamental physiological role in a number of processes including vascular development and stabilization,lymphocyte migration and distribution.S1P-S1PR1 signal axis established roles in immune cell trafficking thus playing a therapeutic role in multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease.In this study,a series of oxadiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized as S1PR1 agonists based on rational drug design.Among them,compound 9i was identified as a potent and selective S1PR1 agonist with activities onβ-arrestin recruitment(EC50=0.36 nmol/L)and receptor internalization(EC50=8.09 nmol/L).Meanwhile,compound 9i displayed an oral bioavailability up to 93.6%.Based on its excellent activity to S1PR1 and pharmacokinetic properties,compound 9i effectively alleviated dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis in mice at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg.
