In formulas I and the following meanings are preferred independently, collectively or in any combination or sub-combination: a) one of R or R5 is otherwise hydrogen, more preferably R5 is otherwise hydrogen and R4 is hydrogen; b) R4 or R5 is benzyl, ethyl, butoxy, propyl, isopropyl or chloro, more preferably R5 is one of the aforementioned groups and R is hydrogen; b) R3 is hydrogen or chloro, more preferably hydrogen; c) R2 is hydrogen or methyl. The compounds of formula I can also form inorganic or organic acid or acid addition salts, for example hydrochloric, hydrobromic or maleic acid. The compounds of formula 1 can also form cationic salts derived from the carboxy group, more particularly alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, for example sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium salt, and ammonium salts derived from ammonia or organic amines. The compounds of formula I contain a chiral center at the carbon atom that leads to the primary amino group. The compound of formula I will therefore exist in two enantiomeric forms. It is to be understood that the present invention comprises the racemate of the formula I and any enantiomeric form. The compounds of formula I can also be obtained in the form of their hydrates. Hydrates also form part of the invention. The present invention also provides a process for the production of the compounds of formula I, which comprises deprotecting a compound of formula 11
wherein R -i and R2 are as defined above, R6 is C1-6 alkyl or benzyl, R7 is an amino protecting group, and and if it is desired to convert the compound of formula I I into a salt thereof. The process can be carried out using conventional methods. Examples of suitable amino protecting groups are for example as described in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" T.W. Greene, J.Wiley &; Sons NY, 2d0 is. , chapter 7, 1 991, and references thereto, for example, acyl, for example tert-butyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl, trifluoroacetyl, trimethylsilylethanesulfonyl and the like. The deprotection can be effected, for example, by hydrogenolysis, when R7 is benzyloxycarbonyl and R6 is benzyl. The reaction can then be carried out in an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride or dioxane at room temperature using palladium-carbon as a catalyst. If R6 is C1-6 alkyl, the process is conveniently carried out in two stages. In the first step the carboxy group of a compound of formula II can be deprotected by light hydrolysis with for example aqueous NaOH or a basic ion exchange resin in an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, methanol or ethanol at room temperature. In the second step the amino group is deprotected with for example iodotrimethylsilane in methylene chloride. If R7 is benzyloxycarbonyl, hydrogenolysis can be used. Stage two of the process is suitably used when one or two of R3 to R5 are halogen. The optional formation of a salt can be carried out conventionally. A racemic mixture of the compound of formula I can be resolved in a known manner, for example using an optically active acid as a resolving agent. Alternatively, a pure enantiomeric form can be produced using optically active starting materials. The compounds of formula I I used as starting material can be prepared with for example, by reacting a compound of formula I I I
wherein R6 and R are as defined above, with a compound of formula IV wherein Ri and R2 are as defined above, and X is a leaving group. The reaction can be carried out in a conventional manner. For example, the reaction can be carried out in an organic solvent such as methylene chloride at a temperature between -1.5 ° to 25 °. The leaving group X is, for example, halogen, especially chlorine or hydroxy. Conveniently an acid binder, for example a tertiary amine such as pyridine, is present. As far as the production of the starting materials for the above processes is not particularly described, they can be produced in an analogous manner by known compounds or the processes described herein.

b) Development of a stable CHO-K1 cell line expressing S 1 P4
To develop stable cell lines expressing the S 1 P4 receptor labeled c-myc 5 μg of plasmid pRc / CMV myc-S 1 P4 is cut using the restriction of the Pvul endonuclease, which dissociates the plasmid once. The linearized plasmid is then precipitated using a final concentration of 0.3M sodium acetate, pH5.0 and 66% ethanol. After centrifugation and washing, the DNA pellet is dissolved in 30 μl of water. For transfection, CHO-K1 cells
(ATCC number: CCL-61) are grown in plates in MEM medium (modification of minimal essential alpha medium) containing 1 0% FCS (fetal calf serum) the day before transfection at a cell density of 1 x 106 cells per well of the 100-mm cell culture dish (Falcon) and incubate at 37 ° C in 5% of a CO2 atmosphere for 24 hours. On the day of transfection, 5 μg of linearized pRC / CMV myc-S1 P4 plasmid is added to 270 μl of RPMl medium. After adding 60 μl of SuperFect Transfection Reagent (Qiagen) to the DNA solution and mixing for 10 seconds, the sample is incubated for 10 minutes to leave the complex formation. The DNA-SuperFect complex is mixed with an additional 3 ml of RPM / 10% FCS and then transferred to the cell monolayer. After 3 hours of incubation, the transfection medium is removed and the cells are washed with PBS. The fresh RPMl medium supplemented with 10% FCS is added and the cells are incubated for 72 hours at 37 ° C and 5% CO2. The selection for the transformed clones is made after adding 500 μg / ml of G41 8 (Lifetechnologies). After approximately 12-14 days, the cell clones obtained by sorting individual cells according to their forward and reverse scattering characteristics in individual wells of a 96-well cell culture plate using a FACStar Plus cell separator (Becton Dickinson) . The individual clones growing after the sorting and selection procedure are expanded and a clone is finally selected based on the expression level of S 1 P 4 mRNA determined by the quantitative TaqMan PCR assay.
c) Cell culture maintenance The parental CHO-K1 cells are maintained in the RPMl medium (Lifetechnologies), supplemented with 10% FB'S and 10 μg / ml gentamicin (Lifetechnologies). The S1 P4 / myc cell transfected
CHO-K1, including a finally selected clone is maintained in alpha MEM medium, supplemented with 10% FBS, 10 μg / ml gentamicin and 0.5 mg / ml G418 (Lifetechnologies).
d) Determination of transcription levels of S1 P4 in stable clones of CHO The total RNA of cells is isolated with the help of! RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen). After disruption of cells (grown in a monolayer) directly in culture dishes (for a 35 mm dish, 350 μl of buffer are used, prepared according to the Qiagen protocol), the lysate is pipetted onto a Qiashredder rotating column and centrifuged for 2 minutes at 21 O00 xg. 350 μl of 70% ethanol are added to continuous flow, from the mixed well, applying to a RNeasy Mini column, and centrifuged at 1 5 seconds at 1 0O00 xg. The continuous flow is eliminated, 700 μl of RW1 buffer (Qiagen) are added to the RNeasy column and centrifuged for 15 seconds to clarify the column. The column is further washed by adding twice 500 μl of RPE buffer (Qiagen) and centrifuging for 1 5 seconds at 1 0000 xg. The RNA is eluted by adding 30-50 μl of RNAse-free water in the RNeasy column and centrifuging for 1 minute at 10O00 xg.
The RNA is reverse transcribed with the Omniscript kit from Qiagen (Qiagen). About 2 μg of RNA are mixed with 2 μl of 1 0 x buffer, 2 μl of dNTP of Mix, 1 μl of RNase inhibitor (10 units / μl), 0.5 μg of random hexamer, 1 μl of Omniscript Reverse Transcriptase and RNase-free water at a final volume of 20 μl, and incubated at 37 ° C for 60 minutes and an additional 30 minutes at 42 ° C. The reaction is inactivated for 5 minutes at 93 ° C, cooled on ice and stored at -20 ° C until use.
To determine the relative transcription levels of S1 P4 mRNA in the selected clones, real-time PCR analysis (polymerase chain reaction) is performed. The optimal primer and test concentrations are determined as described in the User's bulletin provided by the PE Biosystems (Perkin / Elmer) using a human S1 P4 containing the plasmid as a template. The human S1 P4 oligonucleotides as well as their concentrations optimized for real-time PCR are the following (based on HSEDG4; accession number GenBank AJ000479):
The first strand of cDNA is then used for quantitative PCR in the TaqMan AB1 7700 machine (Biosystems PE). As an internal control of the amount of RNA present in each sample, the 18S ribosomal RNA is used by multiplexing the reaction of S1 P4 PCR with the ribosomal RNA PCR in the same tube using the control reagents of the TaqMan with the ribosomal RNA (PE Biosystems, P / N430831 0, test marked VIC). Although the similar efficacy of the two independent amplifications for S 1 P4 and ribosomal RNA is not formally determined, the semi-quantitative determination of the transcription levels of S1 P4 in different cell clones is sufficient for the selection of cell clones for also be characterized in functional tests.
e) Membrane preparation Membrane proteins are prepared from wild type CHO-K1 and CHO cell clones expressing S1 P4. human. To obtain 1 0-30 mg of membrane proteins, the cells are grown in a large culture dish (500 cm2) per cell clone at 80 and 90% confluence. The culture medium is removed and the cells are harvested on ice from the dish, scraping in 20 ml of cold 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5) supplemented with 0.1% fatty acid free bovine serum albumin (BSA) and a cocktail of inhibitors. of protease (one tablet per 50 ml, Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz). Cells are centrifuged at 750xg for 10 minutes at 4 ° C and resuspended in 10 ml of cold membrane buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 1 mM NaCl, 1.0 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 % BSA and cocktail of protease inhibitors). The cell suspension is homogenized on ice, using a Polytron homogenizer at 25000 rpm in three intervals of 20 seconds each. The homogenate is centrifuged at 26'900 xg for 30 minutes at 4 ° C and the pellet of the membrane protein is resuspended by vortexing in 2 ml of cold membrane buffer. The protein concentration is determined using the Bio Rad Protein Assay and human IgG as standard. The suspension volume of the membrane protein is adjusted to give a final concentration of 2 to 3 mg protein / ml. The solution is then homogenized again
(Polytron) on ice at 25,000 rpm for 20 seconds before being aliquoted into Eppendorf tubes in the volume of 0.8-1 ml.
f) Activity measurements of cells expressing hS1 P4: f1) GTP agglutination assay 35S The selection of the clones to be tested in the GTP? S assay is based on real-time PCR assays. CHO clones expressing large amounts of human S 1 P 4 are used in these experiments. The membrane proteins are prepared as described above. The basic protocol of the GTP? 35S agglutination assay used is described in a recent publication (Brinkmann et al. 2002, J. Biol. Chem, 277, 21453) with the modifications described herein below. To characterize the agglutination of GTP? 35S for the membrane proteins of CHO cells expressing S1 P, WGA-coated PVT granulates are used (SPA-bead, Amersham Biosciences). Because the ß-rays of GTP? 35S have significant penetration into the water solution, the dishes are centrifuged to minimize non-specific effects caused by non-binding of GTP? 35S. The assay is performed in 96-well Optiplates (Packard, Cat. No. 6005190) in final volume of 225 μl / well. After a short homogenization, the membrane proteins are resuspended at different concentrations (between 25 to 50 μg / ml) in 50 mM of HEPES, 100 mM of NaCl, 10 mM of MgCl2, 20 μg / ml of saponin (Riedel-de -Haen: Cat. No. 161 09), 0.1% fat free BSA (Sigma Cat. No. A0281) pH 7.4. The membrane proteins are mixed with 1 mg / well of pellet SPA, 10 μM of G DP, different concentrations of agonists and incubated for 1 0-1 5 minutes at room temperature. The GTP? 35S agglutination reaction is initiated by the addition of 200 pM of GTP? 35S (Amersham, Cat. No. SJ 1 308, >1 000 Ci / mmol). The Optiplates is sealed and incubated at room temperature for 1 10-120 minutes with constant agitation. The plates are then centrifuged for 10 minutes at 2000 rpm and equipped with a TopCount instrument (Packard). EC50 calculations are performed with a non-linear regression adjustment program such as that available in the Origin 7 RS2 software package (Origin Lab Corporation, One Roundhouse Plaza, Northampton, MA 01060, USA).
f2) Calcium mobilization assay CHO cells are grown in plates on a black Costar plate (96 or 384 wells, 50O00 cells or 12,500 cells, respectively) in a MEM with FCS and cultured for 20-24 h at 37 ° C in a CO2 incubator. After removal of the culture medium, the cells are incubated in the HBSS medium containing 2 μM, Flu04AM (Molecular Probes, Cat. No, F-1241, 1 mg / ml material in DMSO), 5 mM probenicide for 1 at 37 ° C, rinsing with HBSS buffer, 2.5 mM probenicide and coating with the same medium (75 μl for 96-well dishes, 50 μl for 384 dishes).

The EC50 calculations are performed using a non-linear regression adjustment program provided in the Origin 7 RS2 software package (Origin Lab Corporation) available from Novartis.
In vitro determination of the specificity and selectivity of the S1P4 agonist:
The compounds mentioned in this application are tested for specificity, for example the activity they have in the previous transformation of the parental cell line with the S1P4 cDNA and for selectivity in CHO cell lines transformed with the S1P1, S1P2, S1P3 and S1P5. The generation of stable cell lines for the other S1P receptors is done as described for S1P4, using published human DANc sequences as described above. Preferably the compounds with a selectivity and specificity of 100x are chosen. For example, the specific S1P4 and selective compounds may have an EC50 (apparent EC50) measured in S1P4 that is 10x, preferably 100x lower than is measured in wild-type CHO cells or in the cell expressing any of the other four recipients of S1P.
For example if EC50 of 200 nM is measured for S1P4, the EC50's in CHO cells or in CHO cells expressing S1P1, 2, 3, 5 is preferably = 20 μM. The compound of Example 1 has an EC50 for S1P4 in this 432 nM assay.
The EC50 values (in μM) for the compound of Example 2 in CHO cells or in CHO cells expressing several S1P receptors is shown in Table 2 below:
