Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a chemotactic lipid that influences immune cell positioning. S1P concentration gradients are necessary for proper egress of lymphocytes from the thymus and secondary lymphoid tissues. This trafficking is interdicted by S1P receptor modulators, and it is expected that S1P transporter (Spns2) inhibitors, by reshaping S1P concentration gradients, will do the same. We previously reportedSLF1081851as a prototype Spns2 inhibitor, which provided a scaffold to investigate the importance of the oxadiazole core and the terminal amine. In this report, we disclose a structure–activity relationship study by incorporating imidazole as both a linker and surrogate for a positive charge inSLF1081851.In vitroinhibition of Spns2-dependent S1P transport in HeLa cells identified7bas an inhibitor with an IC50of 1.4 ± 0.3 µM. The SAR studies reported herein indicate that imidazolium can be a substitute for the terminal amine inSLF1081851and that Spns2 inhibition is highly dependent on the lipid alkyl tail length.
