Abstract: GPR55 is an orphan G-protein coupled receptor involved in various pathophysiological conditions. However, there are only a few noncannabinoid GPR55 ligands reported so far. The lack of potent and selective GPR55 ligands precludes a deep exploration of this receptor. The studies presented here focused on a thienopyrimidine scaffold based on the GPR55 antagonist ML192, previously discovered by high-throughput screening. The GPR55 activities of the new synthesized compounds were assessed using β-arrestin recruitment assays in Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing human GPR55. Some derivatives were identified as GPR55 antagonists with functional efficacy and selectivity versus CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
