Abstract

Host cells expressing HM74 were used to obtain oxydecalin-like molecules with agonist activity having the following structure:

Claims

1. A method for identifying an agonist of HM74 comprising, contacting a potential agonist with a cell expressing HM74 and determining whether in the presence of said potential agonist the signaling activity of HM74 is increased relative to the activity of HM74 in the absence of said potential agonist, wherein said potential agonist has the structure:

2. A method for identifying an inverse agonist of HM74 comprising, contacting a potential inverse agonist with a cell expressing HM74 and determining whether in the presence of said potential inverse agonist, the activity of HM74 is decreased relative to the activity of HM74 in the absence of said potential inverse agonist, and is decreased in the presence of an agonist, wherein said potential inverse agonist has the structure:

3. A method for identifying an antagonist of HM74 comprising, contacting a potential antagonist with a cell expressing HM74 and determining whether in the presence of said potential antagonist the signaling activity of HM74 is decreased relative to the activity of HM74 in the presence of an agonist, wherein said potential antagonist has the structure:
