Discovery of AMG 369, a Thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine Agonist of S1P1 and S1P5

The optimization of a series of thiazolopyridine S1P1 agonists with limited activity at the S1P3 receptor is reported. These efforts resulted in the discovery of 1-(3-fluoro-4-(5-(1-phenylcyclopropyl)thiazolo-[5,4-b]pyridin-2-yl)benzyl)azetidine-3-carboxylic acid (5d, AMG 369), a potent dual S1P1/S1...

Description
Summary:The optimization of a series of thiazolopyridine S1P1 agonists with limited activity at the S1P3 receptor is reported. These efforts resulted in the discovery of 1-(3-fluoro-4-(5-(1-phenylcyclopropyl)thiazolo-[5,4-b]pyridin-2-yl)benzyl)azetidine-3-carboxylic acid (5d, AMG 369), a potent dual S1P1/S1P5 agonist with limited activity at S1P3 and no activity at S1P2/S1P4. Dosed orally at 0.1 mg/kg, 5d is shown to reduce blood lymphocyte counts 24 h postdose and delay the onset and reduce the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in rat.
