4-Octyl-4-biphenylcarboxylic acid (1g, AC-55649) was identified as a highly isoform-selective agonist at the human RARβ2 receptor in a functional intact cell-based screening assay. The subsequent hit to lead optimization transformed the lipophilic, poorly soluble hit into a more potent and orally available compound (2, AC-261066) with retained β2 selectivity and greatly improved physiochemical properties. Being an isoform-selective RARβ2 receptor agonist that discriminates between nuclear receptor isoforms having identical ligand binding domains, 2 will be useful as a pharmacological research tool but also a valuable starting point for drug development. |
