Abstract
We have discovered novel benzofuran-based S1P1 agonists with excellent in vitro potency and selectivity. 1-((4-(5-Benzylbenzofuran-2-yl)-3-fluorophenyl)methyl) azetidine-3-carboxylic acid (18) is a potent S1P1 agonist with >1000× selectivity over S1P3. It demonstrated a good in vitro ADME profile and excellent oral bioavailability across species. Dosed orally at 0.3 mg/kg, 18 significantly reduced blood lymphocyte counts 24 h postdose and demonstrated efficacy in a mouse EAE model of relapsing MS.Entities:
