Popis: Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors. Among the five identified subtypes S1P1-5, the S1P3 receptor expressed on vascular endothelial cells has been shown to play an important role in cell proliferation, migration, and inflammation. A pharmacophore-based database search was used to identify a potent scaffold for an S1P3 receptor antagonist by common feature-based alignment and further validated using the Guner-Henry (GH) scoring method. Assumed excluded volumes were merged into this model to evaluate the steric effect with the S1P3 receptor. Three commercially available compounds were identified as S1P3 receptor antagonists, with IC50 values
