Developing Sphingosine-1-Phosphate (Spns2) Inhibitors for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
… The transporter for S1P, spinster homolog 2 (Spns2), which is upstream of the S1P receptors, is another viable target that our lab has recently been targeting. Spns2 inhibition decreases extracellular S1P levels and result in reduced lymphocytes in mice models. In this dissertation, several …

Improving Potency and Oral Bioavailability of Spinster Homolog 2 (Spns2) Inhibitor: A Structure-Activity Relationship Study
… is the transporter protein spinster homolog 2 (Spns2). This protein is responsible for the transport of S1P from intracellular space to extracellular space to interact with its receptors and induce the immune response. Recently, our group has developed several effective inhibitors of Spns2. In …

Development of Potent Inhibitors of the Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Transporter Spns2 for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
… transport protein Spinster homolog 2 (Spns2) in most vertebrates. Studies in murine species have demonstrated that the protein plays a key role in directing immune cell chemotaxis and the progression of autoimmune diseases. Consequently, Spns2 represents an attractive target for the …

Trans Addition of B-X Reagents Across Polarized Triple Bonds and Development of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Transport Inhibitors
… (S1P) transporter spinster homolog 2 (SPNS2). While little is known in regard to the structure and function of SPNS2, previous studies have demonstrated the vital role SPNS2 plays in S1P mediated processes and have identified SPNS2 as a potential clinical target. For example, SPNS2 is …

Branched Peptides Targeting HIV-1 RRE RNA and Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of Spinster Homolog 2 Inhibitors
… by its location, in which Spinster homolog 2 (spns2) and mfsd2b are the two known transporters. The two transporters exist in different cell types and cellular localizations, with spns2-produced S1P being responsible for trafficking of lymphocytes. As such, spns2 has become of interest for …

Fused Heterocycles as Spinster Homolog 2 Inhibitors and Regio- and Stereoselective Copper-Catalyzed Borylation-Protodeboronation of 1,3-Diynes: Access to (Z)-1,3-Enynes
… by S1P transporters spinster homolog 2 (Spns2) or major facilitator domain containing 2B (mfsd2b). In the extracellular space, S1P can bind to S1P-specific G-protein coupled receptors (S1PR), which initiate many signaling pathways. A critical role of extracellular S1P is its ability to …

Refining computer-aided drug design routes for probing difficult protein targets and interfaces
… we explored the sphingolipid transport protein, Spns2, which has been demonstrated to be important in regulating the metastatic cancer enabling microenvironment. This work utilized molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) to explore the protein structure-function relationship for each protein of …
