Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of a Potent, Orally Available, and Isoform-Selective Retinoic Acid β2 Receptor Agonist

TL;DR: Being an isoform-selective RARbeta2 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the first synthetic steroidogenic factor 1 inverse agonists: pharmacological modulation of steroidogenic enzymes.

TL;DR: 4-(heptyloxy)phenol (AC-45594), a prototype inverse agonist lead, was used to show that SF-1 constitutive activity can be pharmacologically modulated by a synthetic ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broad modulation of neuropathic pain states by a selective estrogen receptor beta agonist.

TL;DR: ERb-131 a non-steroidal estrogen receptor beta ligand was evaluated in several pain animal models involving nerve injury or sensitization and demonstrated a critical effector in attenuating a broad range of anti-nociceptive states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and evaluation of dibenzothiazepines: a novel class of selective cannabinoid-1 receptor inverse agonists.

TL;DR: A novel class of CB1 inverse agonists was discovered and a lead compound 11-(4-chlorophenyl)dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepine-8-carboxylic acid butylamide (12e) which showed excellent in vivo activity in pharmacodynamic models related to CB1 receptor activity was discovered.
