- Abstract
We discovered structurally novel human calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) allosteric agonists and compared their pharmacology to phenylalkylamine calcimimetics. 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanol (AC-265347) activated CaSR signaling in cellular proliferation and phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis assays with potencies of 30 and 10 nM, respectively. (S)-1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanol) [(S)-AC-265347], the S-enantiomer of AC-265347, was approximately 10- to 20-fold more potent than (R)-1-benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2, 4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanol) [(R)-AC-265347]. The phenylalkylamines cinacalcet and calindol had activity similar to that of AC-265347 in cellular proliferation assays but less activity in PI... (More)
We discovered structurally novel human calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) allosteric agonists and compared their pharmacology to phenylalkylamine calcimimetics. 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanol (AC-265347) activated CaSR signaling in cellular proliferation and phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis assays with potencies of 30 and 10 nM, respectively. (S)-1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanol) [(S)-AC-265347], the S-enantiomer of AC-265347, was approximately 10- to 20-fold more potent than (R)-1-benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2, 4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanol) [(R)-AC-265347]. The phenylalkylamines cinacalcet and calindol had activity similar to that of AC-265347 in cellular proliferation assays but less activity in PI assays. All compounds had reduced activity when extracellular Ca 2+ was removed, indicating that they cooperate with Ca 2+ to activate CaSRs, and all activated CaSR isoforms with the N-terminal extracellular domain deleted, indicating that they interact with the transmembrane domains. In both cases, AC-265347 and therefore (S)-AC-265347 were significantly more efficacious than the phenylalkylamines. Mutations E837A 7.39 and I841A 7.43 strongly reduced phenylalkylamine-induced signaling, but not AC-265347-or (S)-AC-265347-induced signaling, suggesting different modes of binding. AC-265347 and (S)-AC-265347 stimulated significantly greater responses than cinacalcet or calindol at each of four loss-of-function human polymorphic CaSR variants. AC-265347 did not inhibit the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 isozyme, unlike cinacalcet, which is a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor. In rats, AC-265347, (S)-AC-265347, and (R)-AC-265347 each reduced serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) with a rank order potency correlated with their in vitro potencies. AC-265347 and (S)-AC-265347 also reduced plasma ionizable calcium ([Ca 2+] o). AC-265347 was orally active, and its plasma concentrations correlated well with its effects on serum PTH. Thus, these highly efficacious CaSR allosteric agonists represent leads for developing therapeutic agents with potential advantages over existing therapies.
