ملخص

The orphan receptor GPR17 may be a novel drug target for inflammatory diseases. 3-(2-Carboxyethyl)-4,6-dichloro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (MDL29,951, 1) was previously identified as a moderately potent GPR17 agonist. In the present study, we investigated the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of 1. Substitution of the indole 1-, 5-, or 7-position was detrimental. Only small substituents were tolerated in the 4-position while the 6-position accommodated large lipophilic residues. Among the most potent compounds were 3-(2-carboxyethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives containing the following substituents: 6-phenoxy (26, PSB-1737, EC50 270 nM), 4-fluoro-6-bromo (33, PSB-18422, EC50 27.9 nM), 4-fluoro-6-iodo (35, PSB-18484, EC50 32.1 nM), and 4-chloro-6-hexyloxy (43, PSB-1767, EC50 67.0 nM). (3-(2-Carboxyethyl)-6-hexyloxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (39, PSB-17183, EC50 115 nM) behaved as a partial agonist. Selected potent compounds tested at human P2Y receptor subtypes showed high selectivity for GPR17. Docking into a homology model of the human GPR17 and molecular dynamic simulation studies rationalized the observed SARs.
