2895 Angew. Chem. 2004, 116, 2894–2897 www. angewandte. de 2004 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim presence of the LPA2 receptor. As compounds 2–14 had no significant agonist activity for LPA1, we attempted to introduce a substituent on the six-membered ring to adjust the relative position of the recognition motifs for LPA1 through fine-tuning of the ring conformation. Thus, we synthesized 15–17 and found that 15 had equivalent or stronger potency as an agonist for LPA1 relative to 1-oleoyl LPA (Figure 1 b).[14, 16] As 15 did not activate LPA2,[10] it is the first compound that can be used to distinguish between LPA1-and LPA2-agonist activity.[15, 17] The subtype-selective agonist activity of 2, 13 (LPA3-selective), and 15 (LPA1-selective) might be partly rationalized based on the hypothesis that a specific LPA receptor distinguishes a specific three-dimensional arrangement of the recognition motifs. To test this hypothesis, we determined the ring conformation in a solution state by using NMR techniques. All NOE data and coupling constant values suggested that 2 exists in a skewed-boat conformation with both the phosphate and oleoyl groups in pseudoequatorial positions (Figure2a). On the other hand, 15 exists in a chair conformation with the methyl and oleoyl groups in equatorial positions and the phosphate group in an axial position (Figure 2 b).[18] The observed recognition-motif arrangements in 2 and 15 might correspond to the active binding structures of flexible 2-oleoyl LPA to LPA1 and LPA3, respectively, and the arrangements might be recognized selectively by each receptor.
