The optimization of a series of thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives for agonist activity against the GPR35 is reported. Compounds were optimized to achieve β-arrestin-biased agonism for developing probe molecules that may be useful for elucidating the biology and physiology of GPR35. Compound 13 was identified to the most potent GPR35 agonist, and compounds 30 and 36 exhibited the highest efficacy to cause β-arrestin translocation.

A new terthiophene-based imidazole luminophore 5,5'-(1-thieno[3,4-d]imidazole-4,6-diyl)bis(thiophene-2-carboxylic acid) (TIBTCH, ) was synthesized in one step from previously reported 4,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1-thieno[3,4-d]imidazole (DTTI, ), and their photophysical properties were studied and compared accordingly. Under solvothermal conditions, reacting with Mn(OAc) yielded a new three-dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF, ) which was structurally defined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In , all Mn(II) ions octahedrally bind to carboxylate- atoms to form a linear Mn secondary building unit (SBU) that contains three distinct coordination modes.

Thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidinones (8 and 9) were also prepared. Compound 9 was used as an intermediate for the synthesis of imidazole/1,2,4-triazole and tetrazine functionalized thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives (10-12).

D-Luciferin (also known as beetle or firefly luciferin) is one of the most widely used bioluminescent reporters for monitoring in vitro or in vivo luciferase activity. The identification of several natural phenols and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives as agonists for GPR35, an orphan G protein-coupled receptor, had motivated us to examine the pharmacological activity of D-Luciferin, given that it also contains phenol and carboxylic acid moieties. Here, we describe label-free cell phenotypic assays that ascertain D-Luciferin as a partial agonist for GPR35.

Screening with dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) assays in a native cell line HT-29 led to identification of two novel series of chemical compounds, 2-(4-methylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene)malononitrile and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives, as GPR35 agonists. Of these, 2-(3-cyano-5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene)malononitrile (YE120) and 6-bromo-3-methylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (YE210) were found to be the two most potent GPR35 agonists with an EC(50) of 32.5 ± 1.
