Discovery of novel S1P2 antagonists. Part 1: Discovery of 1,3-bis(aryloxy)benzene derivatives

The structure–activity relationships of a novel series of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor antagonists have been examined in detail. The initial hit compound 1 was modified through synthesis to improve its S1P2 activity. The synthesis of a series of analogs revealed that 1,3-bis(aryloxy)benzene derivatives, as represented by 22, are potent and selective S1P2 antagonists.
