HETEROAROMATIC COMPOUNDS HAVING SPHINGOSINE-1-PHOSPHATE (S1P) RECEPTOR AGONIST BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

摘要

A novel compound having agonist activity at the S1P3 receptor which is represented by the formula (I) wherein X is selected from the group consisting of CR3, N and NO; Y is selected from the group consisting of CR3, N and NO; Z is selected from the group consisting of CR3, N and NO; and at least one of X, Y and Z is N or NO; V is O or NOR4 R1 is an aryl group; R2 is an aryl group; R3 is selected from the group consisting of H and alkyl; and 2 of said R3 groups may together form a cyclic alkyl ring having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms; R4 is selected from the group consisting of H and alkyl; a is 0 or an integer of from 1 to 6; b is 0 or 1; c is 0 or 1; f is 0 or an integer of 1 or 2; x is 0 or 1; y is 0 or an integer of from 1 to 3; and z is 0 or an integer of from 1 to 3.
