Abstract

High throughput screening and hit to lead optimization led to the identification of 'carene' as a promising scaffold showing selective S1P(1) receptor agonism. In parallel to this work we have established a pharmacophore model for the S1P(1) receptor highlighting the minimal structural requirement necessary for potent receptor agonism.Copyright 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
