Definitions
- the present invention relates to compounds that have activity as S 1 P receptor modulating agents and the use of such compounds to treat diseases associated with inappropriate SlP receptor activity.
- Sphingosine-1 -phosphate has been demonstrated to induce many cellular effects, including those that result in platelet aggregation, cell proliferation, cell morphology, tumor cell invasion, endothelial cell chemotaxis and endothelial cell in vitro angiogenesis.
- SlP receptors are therefore good targets for therapeutic applications such as wound healing and tumor growth inhibition.
- SlP signals cells in part via a set of G protein-coupled receptors named SlPl, S1P2, S1P3, S1P4, and S1P5 (formerly called EDG-I, EDG-5, EDG-3, EDG-6, and EDG-8, respectively).
- LPA structurally-related lysophosphatidic acid
- GPCR G-Protein Coupled Receptor
- SlP receptors make good drug targets, because individual receptors are both tissue- and response-specific. Tissue specificity of the SlP receptors is important, because development of an agonist or antagonist selective for one receptor localizes the cellular response to tissues containing that receptor, limiting unwanted side effects. Response specificity of the SlP receptors is also important because it allows for development of agonists or antagonists that initiate or suppress certain cellular responses without affecting other things. For example, the response specificity of the SlP receptors could allow for an SlP mimetic that initiates platelet aggregation without affecting cell morphology.
- SlP is formed as a metabolite of sphingosine in its reaction with sphingosine kinase, and is abundantly stored in platelet aggregates where high levels of sphingosine kinase exist and sphingosine lyase is lacking. SlP is released during platelet aggregation, accumulates in serum and is also found in malignant ascites. SlP biodegradation most likely proceeds via hydrolysis by ectophosphohydrolases, specifically the sphingosine 1 -phosphate phosphohydrolases.
- the present invention relates to the use of new compositions which include SlP modulators, e.g., agonists, partial agonists, inverse agonists and antagonists, and their use in treating, preventing or curing various SlP receptor- related conditions.

A decrease of 10% or more in labeled GTP binding as measured by scintillation counting in a sample containing a candidate modulator, relative to a sample without the modulator, indicates that the candidate modulator is an inhibitor of SlP receptor activity.
- a similar GTP-binding assay can be performed without the presence of the ligand (SlP) to identify agents that act as agonists.
- ligand-stimulated GTP binding is used as a standard.
- An agent is considered an agonist if it induces at least 50% of the level of GTP binding induced by SlP when the agent is present at 10 ⁇ m or less, and preferably will induce a level which is the same as or higher than that induced by the ligand.
- GTPase activity can be measured by incubating cell membrane extracts containing an SlP receptor with ⁇ 32 P-GTP.
- Active GTPase will release the label as inorganic phosphate, which can be detected by separation of free inorganic phosphate in a 5% suspension of activated charcoal in 20 mM H 3 PO 4 , followed by scintillation counting.
- Controls would include assays using membrane extracts isolated from cells not expressing an SlP receptor (e.g., mock-transfected cells), in order to exclude possible non-specific effects of the candidate modulator.
- cell membrane samples can be incubated with the ligand (SlP), with and without the modulator, and a GTPase assay can be performed as described above.
- a change (increase or decrease) of 10% or more in the level of GTP binding or GTPase activity relative to samples without modulator is indicative of SlP modulation by a candidate modulator.

- Pain is a complex subjective sensation reflecting real or potential tissue damage and the affective response to it.
- Acute pain is a physiological signal indicating a potential or actual injury.
- Chronic pain can either be somatogenetic (organic) or psychogenic.
- Chronic pain is frequently accompanied or followed by vegetative signs, which often result in depression.
- Somatogenetic pain may be of nociceptive origin, inflammatory or neuropathic. Nociceptive pain is judged to be commensurate with ongoing activation of somatic or visceral pain-sensitive nerve fibers. Neuropathic pain results from dysfunction in the nervous system; it is believed to be sustained by aberrant somatosensory processes in the peripheral nervous system, the CNS, or both. Chronic pain results in individual suffering and social economic costs of tremendous extent. Existing pharmacological pain therapies are widely unsatisfying both in terms of efficacy and of safety.
