Abstract:
SYL927 and SYL930 are selective S1P1 agonists under preclinical development. However, during their pharmacokinetic studies we detected two metabolites in rat blood that were tentatively identified as monohydroxylated metabolites of SYL927 and SYL930 based on LC-MS/MS data. In this study, we designed and synthesized possible monohydroxylated products 6a-e and used them as references to confirm the structures of the two metabolites detected by LC-MS/MS. We also evaluated the in vitro and in vivo biological activities of these two metabolites.

Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
