The S1P1 receptor-selective agonist CYM-5442 reduces the severity of acute GVHD by inhibiting macrophage recruitment.[Pubmed:25088224]

Cell Mol Immunol. 2015 Nov;12(6):681-91.

FTY720, an agonist for four of the five known sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors, has been reported to inhibit acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Because FTY720 functions through multiple S1P receptors, the mechanism of action through one or more of these receptors may account for its side effects. Thus, more selective S1P receptor modulators are needed to evaluate the roles of different S1P receptors and their therapeutic efficacies. In this study, we investigated the effect of an S1P1-selective agonist, CYM-5442, on the progression of aGVHD. We showed that CYM-5442 significantly inhibited but did not prevent aGVHD. CYM-5442 did not affect the infiltration of the donor T cells into the target organs, while the number of macrophages in GVHD organs was significantly reduced by CYM-5442 treatment. In vivo proliferation assays showed that the proliferation of macrophages was not suppressed by CYM-5442. Further studies using human endothelial cells demonstrated that CYM-5442 treatment downregulated CCL2 and CCL7 expression in endothelial cells, therefore reducing the migration of monocytes, from which tissue macrophages originate. Our data demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of an S1P1-selective agonist in aGVHD and its possible mechanism of action. The results suggest that further investigations are needed regarding CYM-5442 as a potential therapeutic regimen for aGVHD.

A dinuclear [{(p-cym)Ru(II)Cl}2(mu-bpytz (-))](+) complex bridged by a radical anion: synthesis, spectroelectrochemical, EPR and theoretical investigation (bpytz = 3,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)1,2,4,5-tetrazine; p-cym = p-cymene).[Pubmed:27435992]

The reaction of the chloro-bridged dimeric precursor [{(p-cym)Ru(II)Cl}(mu-Cl)]2 (p-cym = p-cymene) with the bridging ligand 3,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (bpytz) in ethanol results in the formation of the dinuclear complex [{(p-cym)Ru(II)Cl}2(mu-bpytz (-))](+), [1](+). The bridging tetrazine ligand is reduced to the anion radical (bpytz (-)) which connects the two Ru(II) centres. Compound [1](PF6) has been characterised by an array of spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The radical anion character has been confirmed by magnetic moment (corresponding to one electron paramagnetism) measurement, EPR spectroscopic investigation (tetrazine radical anion based EPR spectrum) as well as density functional theory based calculations. Complex [1](+) displays two successive one electron oxidation processes at 0.66 and 1.56 V versus Ag/AgCl which can be attributed to [{(p-cym)Ru(II)C}2(mu-bpytz (-))](+)/[{(p-cym)Ru(II)Cl}2(mu-bpytz)](2+) and [{(p-cym)Ru(II)Cl}2(mu-bpytz)](+)/[{(p-cym)Ru(III)Cl}2(mu-bpytz)](2+) processes (couples I and II), respectively. The reduction processes (couple III-couple V), which are irreversible, likely involve the successive reduction of the bridging ligand and the metal centres together with loss of the coordinated chloride ligands. UV-Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical investigation reveals typical tetrazine radical anion containing bands for [1](+) and a strong absorption in the visible region for the oxidized form [1](2+), which can be assigned to a Ru(II) --> pi* (tetrazine) MLCT transition. The assignment of spectroscopic bands was confirmed by theoretical calculations.

Mononuclear half-sandwiched complexes [(p-cym)RuCl(bpmo)](ClO4) {[1](ClO4)} and [(p-cym)RuCl(bpms)](PF6) {[2](PF6)} have been prepared by reacting heteroscorpionate ligands bpmo = 2-methoxyphenyl-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane and bpms = 2-methylthiophenyl-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane, respectively, with a dimeric precursor complex [(p-cym)RuCl(mu-Cl)]2 (p-cym = 1-isopropyl-4-methylbenzene) in methanol. The corresponding aqua derivatives [(p-cym)Ru(H2O)(bpmo)](ClO4)2 {[3](ClO4)2} and [(p-cym)Ru(H2O)(bpms)](PF6)2 {[4](PF6)2} are obtained from {[1](ClO4)} and {[2](PF6)}, respectively, via Cl(-)/H2O exchange process in the presence of appropriate equivalents of AgClO4/AgNO3 + KPF6 in a methanol-water mixture. The molecular structures of the complexes {[1]Cl, [3](ClO4)2 and [4](PF6)(NO3)} are authenticated by their single crystal X-ray structures. The complexes show the expected piano-stool geometry with p-cym in the eta(6) binding mode. The aqua complexes [3](ClO4)2 and [4](PF6)2 show significantly good antibacterial activity towards E. coli (gram negative) and B. subtilis (gram positive) strains, while chloro derivatives ({[1](ClO4)} and {[2](PF6)} are found to be virtually inactive. The order of antibacterial activity of the complexes according to their MIC values is [1](ClO4) (both 1000 mug mL(-1)) < [2](PF6) (580 mug mL(-1) and 750 mug mL(-1)) < [3](ClO4)2 (both 100 mug mL(-1)) < [4](PF6)2 (30 mug mL(-1) and 60 mug mL(-1)) for E. coli and B. subtilis strains, respectively. Further, the aqua complexes [3](ClO4)2 and [4](PF6)2 show clear zones of inhibition against kanamycin, ampicillin and chloramphenicol resistant E. coli strains. The detailed mechanistic aspects of the aforesaid active aqua complexes [3](ClO4)2 and [4](PF6)2 have been explored, and it reveals that both the complexes inhibit the number of nucleoids per cell in vivo and bind to DNA in vitro. The results indeed demonstrate that both [3](ClO4)2 and [4](PF6)2 facilitate the inhibition of bacterial growth by binding to DNA.

Discovery, synthesis and SAR analysis of novel selective small molecule S1P4-R agonists based on a (2Z,5Z)-5-((pyrrol-3-yl)methylene)-3-alkyl-2-(alkylimino)thiazolidin-4-one chemotype.[Pubmed:21982495]

High affinity and selective S1P(4) receptor (S1P(4)-R) small molecule agonists may be important proof-of-principle tools used to clarify the receptor biological function and effects to assess the therapeutic potential of the S1P(4)-R in diverse disease areas including treatment of viral infections and thrombocytopenia. A high-throughput screening campaign of the Molecular Libraries-Small Molecule Repository was carried out by our laboratories and identified (2Z,5Z)-5-((1-(2-fluorophenyl)-2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)methylene)-3-methyl-2- (methylimino) thiazolidin-4-one as a promising S1P(4)-R agonist hit distinct from literature S1P(4)-R modulators. Rational chemical modifications of the hit allowed the identification of a promising lead molecule with low nanomolar S1P(4)-R agonist activity and exquisite selectivity over the other S1P(1-3,5)-Rs family members. The lead molecule herein disclosed constitutes a valuable pharmacological tool to explore the effects of the S1P(4)-R signaling cascade and elucidate the molecular basis of the receptor function.
