phosphonic Acids as Potent Agonists of Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) Recep-tors. — Analogues of 3-(N-tetradecylamino)propylphosphonic acid, a potent agonist of S1P receptors, in which the nitrogen and a neighboring carbon atom or a pair of ad-jacent carbons are tethered with short alkyl chains are synthesized to identify novel scaffolds for S1P receptor agonists. Three different scaffolds are tolerated for S1P re-ceptor agonists. Further investigations show that the proper incorporation of a phenyl ring into the long alkyl chains significantly enhances their binding affinities and pyr-rolidines (I) and (II) induce a maximal peripheral lowering of lymphocytes. Pyrro-lidines (I), (II), and cyclohexane (IV) possess greatly enhanced affinity for S1P1 as compared to their n-alkyl counterparts, and pyrrolidine (III) and cyclohexane (IV) re-veal 30 and 50-fold selectivity of S1P1 over S1P3, respectively. — (YAN*, L.; et al.; Bioorg.
