Abstract
The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) is a ubiquitously expressed G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that regulates extracellular calcium signals via the parathyroid glands. CaSR has recently also been implicated in noncalcitropic pathophysiologies like asthma, gut inflammation, and cancer. To date, molecular tools that enable the bioimaging of CaSR in tissues are lacking. Based on in silico analyses of available structure-activity relationship data on CaSR ligands, we designed and prepared silicon-rhodamine (SiR) conjugates of the clinically approved drug evocalcet. The new probes EvoSiR4 and EvoSiR6, with differing linker lengths at the evocalcet carboxyl end, both showed a 6-fold and 3-fold increase in potency toward CaSR (EC50 < 45 nM) compared to evocalcet and the evocalcet-linker conjugate, respectively, in an FLIPR-based cellular functional assay. The specificity of the EvoSiR probes toward CaSR binding and the impact of albumin was evaluated in live cell experiments. Both probes showed strong albumin binding, which facilitated the clearance of nonspecific binding interactions. Accordingly, in zebrafish embryos, EvoSiR4 specifically labeled the high CaSR expressing neuromasts of the lateral line in vivo. EvoSiR4 was also assessed in human parathyroid tissues ex vivo, showing a specific absolute CaSR-associated fluorescence compared to that of parathyroid autofluorescence. In summary, functionalization of evocalcet by SiR led to the preparation of potent and specific fluorescent CaSR probes. EvoSiR4 is a versatile small-molecular probe that can be employed in CaSR-related biomedical analyses where antibodies are not applicable.

Abstract
The CaSR is a class C G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that acts as a multimodal chemosensor to maintain diverse homeostatic functions. The CaSR is a clinical therapeutic target in hyperparathyroidism and has emerged as a putative target in several other diseases. These include hyper- and hypocalcaemia caused either by mutations in the CASR gene or in genes that regulate CaSR signaling and expression, and more recently in asthma. The development of CaSR-targeting drugs is complicated by the fact that the CaSR possesses many different binding sites for endogenous and exogenous agonists and allosteric modulators. Binding sites for endogenous and exogenous ligands are located throughout the large CaSR protein and are interconnected in ways that we do not yet fully understand. This review summarizes our current understanding of CaSR physiology, signaling, and structure and how the many different binding sites of the CaSR may be targeted to treat disease.

Abstract
Postsurgical hypoparathyroidism is the most common complication of thyroid surgery. Conventional therapy with high-dose calcium and vitamin D can correct hypocalcemia but can increase the risk of hypercalciuria, renal stones, or ectopic calcification. The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of a calcium-sensing receptor antagonist, also called a calcilytic (AXT914), in rat models of postsurgical hypoparathyroidism. Two postsurgical hypoparathyroidism rat models were made by hemi-parathyroidectomy or total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation in 10-week-old female Wistar rats. AXT914 or vehicle was administered orally for 2 to 3 weeks. Serum PTH, calcium, and phosphorus levels, and the urinary excretion of calcium were measured. Autotransplanted parathyroid tissues were collected and examined histologically. In the hemi-parathyroidectomy model, the oral administration of the calcilytic AXT914 (5 and 10 mg/kg) for 2 weeks increased serum PTH and calcium levels and decreased serum phosphorus levels and urinary calcium excretion. In the total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation model, the oral administration of AXT914 (10 mg/kg) for 3 weeks increased serum PTH and calcium levels and decreased serum phosphorus levels. The serum PTH and calcium levels increased by AXT914 were maintained for 1 week, even after discontinuation of the drug. In conclusion, AXT914 increased PTH secretion in rat models of postsurgical hypoparathyroidism, thereby correcting abnormal calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. Furthermore, AXT914 improved the functional recovery of autotransplanted parathyroid tissues.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic progressive disease. With the improvement of people's living standard and the aging of population, osteoporosis and its fracture have become one of the main diseases threatening the aging society. The serious medical and social burden caused by this has aroused wide public concern. Osteoporosis is listed as one of the three major diseases of the elderly. At present, the drugs for osteoporosis include bone resorption inhibitors and bone formation promoters. The purpose of these anti-osteoporosis drugs is to balance osteoblast bone formation and osteoclast bone resorption. With the development of anti-osteoporosis drugs, new anti osteoporosis drugs have been designed and synthesized. There are many kinds of new compounds with anti osteoporosis activity, but most of them are concentrated on the original drugs with anti osteoporosis activity, or the natural products with anti-osteoporosis activity are extracted from the natural products for structural modification to obtain the corresponding derivatives or analogues. These target compounds showed good ALP activity in vitro and in vivo, promoted osteoblast differentiation and mineralization, or had anti TRAP activity, inhibited osteoclast absorption. This work attempts to systematically review the studies on the synthesis and bioactivity of anti-osteoporosis drugs in the past 10 years. The structure-activity relationship was discussed, which provided a reasonable idea for the design and development of new anti-osteoporosis drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) that target the calcium-sensing receptor (CaS receptor) were originally developed for the treatment of osteoporosis by stimulating the release of endogenous parathyroid hormone, but failed in human clinical trials. Several chemically and structurally distinct NAM scaffolds have been described, but it is not known how these different scaffolds interact with the CaS receptor to inhibit receptor signalling in response to agonists. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In the present study, we used a mutagenesis approach combined with analytical pharmacology and computational modelling to probe the binding sites of four distinct NAM scaffolds. KEY RESULTS Although all four scaffolds bind to the 7-transmembrane and/or extracellular or intracellular loops, they occupy distinct regions, as previously shown for positive allosteric modulators of the CaS receptor. Furthermore, different NAM scaffolds mediate negative allosteric modulation via distinct amino acid networks. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS These findings aid our understanding of how different NAMs bind to and inhibit the CaS receptor. Elucidation of allosteric binding sites in the CaS receptor has implications for the discovery of novel allosteric modulators.

Abstract
Quinazolinones have pharmacological effects on vascular reactivity through different mechanisms. We synthesized 4-phenylquinazolin-2(1H)-one derivatives under microwave irradiation and tested them on the rat thoracic aorta. The prepared compounds 2a–2f were obtained in about 1 h with suitable yields (31–92%). All derivatives produced vasorelaxant effects with IC50 values ranging from 3.41 ± 0.65 µM to 39.72 ± 6.77 µM. Compounds 2c, 2e and 2f demonstrated the highest potency in endothelium-intact aorta rings (IC50 4.31 ± 0.90 µM, 4.94 ± 1.21 µM and 3.41 ± 0.65 µM respectively), and they achieved around 90% relaxation (30 μM). In aorta rings without an endothelium, the effect of compound 2f was abolished. Using the MTT assay to test for cell viability, only compound 2b induced cytotoxicity at the maximum concentration employed (30 µM). The results show that vasorelaxation by 4-phenylquinazolin-2(1H)-one derivatives might depend on the activation of a signalling pathway triggered by endothelium-derived factors.

Abstract
The use of an acetylene (ethynyl) group in medicinal chemistry coincides with the launch of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in 1959. Since then, the acetylene group has been broadly exploited in drug discovery and development. As a result, it has become recognized as a privileged structural feature for targeting a wide range of therapeutic target proteins, including MAO, tyrosine kinases, BACE1, steroid receptors, mGlu5 receptors, FFA1/GPR40, and HIV-1 RT. Furthermore, a terminal alkyne functionality is frequently introduced in chemical biology probes as a click handle to identify molecular targets and to assess target engagement. This Perspective is divided into three parts encompassing: (1) the physicochemical properties of the ethynyl group, (2) the advantages and disadvantages of the ethynyl group in medicinal chemistry, and (3) the impact of the ethynyl group on chemical biology approaches.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), particularly its sporadic or late-onset form (SAD/LOAD), is the most prevalent (96–98% of cases) neurodegenerative dementia in aged people. AD’s neuropathology hallmarks are intrabrain accumulation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβs) and of hyperphosphorylated Tau (p-Tau) proteins, diffuse neuroinflammation, and progressive death of neurons and oligodendrocytes. Mounting evidences suggest that family C G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which include γ-aminobutyric acid B receptors (GABABRs), metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1-8), and the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), are involved in many neurotransmitter systems that dysfunction in AD. This review updates the available knowledge about the roles of GPCRs, particularly but not exclusively those expressed by brain astrocytes, in SAD/LOAD onset and progression, taking stock of their respective mechanisms of action and of their potential as anti-AD therapeutic targets. In particular, GABABRs prevent Aβs synthesis and neuronal hyperexcitability and group I mGluRs play important pathogenetic roles in transgenic AD-model animals. Moreover, the specific binding of Aβs to the CaSRs of human cortical astrocytes and neurons cultured in vitro engenders a pathological signaling that crucially promotes the surplus synthesis and release of Aβs and hyperphosphorylated Tau proteins, and also of nitric oxide, vascular endothelial growth factor-A, and proinflammatory agents. Concurrently, Aβs•CaSR signaling hinders the release of soluble (s)APP-α peptide, a neurotrophic agent and GABABR1a agonist. Altogether these effects progressively kill human cortical neurons in vitro and likely also in vivo. Several CaSR’s negative allosteric modulators suppress all the noxious effects elicited by Aβs•CaSR signaling in human cortical astrocytes and neurons thus safeguarding neurons’ viability in vitro and raising hopes about their potential therapeutic benefits in AD patients. Further basic and clinical investigations on these hot topics are needed taking always heed that activation of the several brain family C GPCRs may elicit divergent upshots according to the models studied.

Abstract
The extracellular calcium receptor (CaR) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and the pivotal molecule regulating systemic Ca2+ homeostasis. The CaR was a challenging target for drug discovery because its physiological ligand is an inorganic ion (Ca2+) rather than a molecule so there was no structural template to guide medicinal chemistry. Nonetheless, small molecules targeting this receptor were discovered. Calcimimetics are agonists or positive allosteric modulators of the CaR, while calcilytics are antagonists and all to date are negative allosteric modulators. The calcimimetic cinacalcet was the first allosteric modulator of a GPCR to achieve regulatory approval and is a first-in-class treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients on dialysis, and for hypercalcemia in some forms of primary hyperparathyroidism. It is also useful in treating some rare genetic diseases that cause hypercalcemia. Two other calcimimetics are now on the market (etelcalcetide) or under regulatory review (evocalcet). Calcilytics stimulate the secretion of parathyroid hormone and were initially developed as treatments for osteoporosis. Three different calcilytics of two different chemotypes failed in clinical trials due to lack of efficacy. Calcilytics are now being repurposed and might be useful in treating hypoparathyroidism and several rare genetic diseases causing hypocalcemia. The challenges ahead for medicinal chemists are to design compounds that select conformations of the CaR that preferentially target a particular signalling pathway and/or that affect the CaR in a tissue-selective manner.

Abstract
Calcium-sensing receptors (CaSR) are integral to regulation of systemic Ca(2+) homeostasis. Altered expression levels or mutations in CaSR cause Ca(2+) handling diseases. CaSR is regulated by both endogenous allosteric modulators and allosteric drugs, including the first Food and Drug Administration-approved allosteric agonist, Cinacalcet HCl (Sensipar®). Recent studies suggest that allosteric modulators not only alter function of plasma membrane-localized CaSR, but regulate CaSR stability at the endoplasmic reticulum. This brief review summarizes our current understanding of the role of membrane-permeant allosteric agonists in cotranslational stabilization of CaSR, and highlights additional, indirect, signalling-dependent role(s) for membrane-impermeant allosteric drugs. Overall, these studies suggest that allosteric drugs act at multiple cellular organelles to control receptor abundance and hence function, and that drug hydrophobicity can bias the relative contributions of plasma membrane and intracellular organelles to CaSR abundance and signalling.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is defined as low bone mineral density associated with skeletal fractures secondary to minimal or no trauma, most often involving the spine, the hip, and the forearm. The decrease in bone mineral density is the consequence of an unbalanced bone remodeling process, with higher bone resorption than bone formation. Osteoporosis affects predominantly postmenopausal women, but also older men. This chronic disease represents a considerable medical and socioeconomic burden for modern societies. The therapeutic options for the treatment of osteoporosis have so far comprised mostly antiresorptive drugs, in particular bisphosphonates and more recently denosumab, but also calcitonin and, for women, estrogens or selective estrogen receptor modulators. These drugs have limitations, however, in particular the fact that they lead to a low turnover state where bone formation decreases with the decrease in bone-remodeling activity. In this review, we discuss the alternative class of osteoporosis drugs, i.e. bone anabolics, their biology, and the perspectives they offer for our therapeutic armamentarium. We focus on the two main osteoanabolic pathways identified as of today: PTH, the only anabolic drug currently on the market; and activation of canonical Wnt signaling through inhibition of the endogenous inhibitors sclerostin and dickkopf1. Each approach is based on a different molecular mechanism, but most recent evidence suggests that these two pathways may actually converge, at least in part. Whereas recombinant human PTH treatment is being revisited with different formulations and attempts to regulate endogenous PTH secretion via the calcium-sensing receptor, antibodies to sclerostin and dickkopf1 are currently in clinical trials and may prove to be even more efficient at increasing bone mass, possibly independent of bone turnover. Each of these anabolic approaches has its own limitations and safety issues, but the prospects of effective anabolic therapy for osteoporosis are indeed bright.

Abstract
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is the key controller of extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)(o)) homeostasis via its regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and renal Ca(2+) reabsorption. The CaR-selective calcimimetic drug Cinacalcet stimulates the CaR to suppress PTH secretion in chronic kidney disease and represents the world's first clinically available receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM). Negative CaR allosteric modulators (NAMs), known as calcilytics, can increase PTH secretion and are being investigated as possible bone anabolic treatments against age-related osteoporosis. Here we address the current state of development and clinical use of a series of positive and negative CaR modulators. In addition, clinical CaR mutations and transgenic mice carrying tissue-specific CaR deletions have provided a novel understanding of the relative functional importance of CaR in both calciotropic tissues and those elsewhere in the body. The development of CaR-selective modulators and signalling reagents have provided us with a more detailed appreciation of how the CaR signals in vivo. Thus, both of these areas of CaR research will be reviewed.

Abstract
With the emerging new crystal structures of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), the number of reported in silico receptor models vastly increases every year. The use of these models in lead optimization (LO) is investigated here. Although there are many studies where GPCR models are used to identify new chemotypes by virtual screening, the classical application in LO is rarely reported. The reason for this may be that the quality of a model, which is appropriate for atomistic modeling, must be very high, and the biology of GPCR ligand-dependent signaling is still not fully understood. However, the few reported studies show that GPCR models can be used efficiently in LO for various problems, such as affinity optimization or tuning of physicochemical parameters.

Abstract
The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) was first described in the parathyroid gland. Recent studies have shown that the CaR is also expressed in blood vessels, especially in the endothelial and adventitial layers but its physiological function is still not clear. However, an understanding of its possible role(s) in the vasculature (perivascular-neurones, heart and blood vessels) is important because of the use of synthetic positive allosteric CaR modulators in hyperparathyroidism and the potential importance of negative modulators in the treatment of osteoporosis. In this review, the effects of CaR activation and inhibition are detailed and the possible role of the CaR as both an amplifier and attenuator of myo-endothelial coupling in the vasculature is described.

Abstract
The only bone anabolic agents currently available on the market are based on the parathyroid hormone (PTH). Secretion of endogenous PTH is controlled by a calcium-sensing receptor at the surface of the parathyroid glands. Antagonists of this receptor (calcilytics) induce the release of the hormone. Provided the effect of the calcilytic is of short duration, a bone anabolic effect should also result. Although the first calcilytic series became known approximately 10 years ago, the number of different structural types is still small today. This article outlines the quest from hits to potent development candidates of all relevant calcilytic series currently known. Even after the front-runners unexpectedly failed in the clinic, the approach for an oral alternative to parenteral PTH remains highly attractive.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), when injected daily as either the intact hormone PTH(1-84) or the active fragment PTH(1-34) (teriparatide), is an efficacious bone anabolic treatment option for osteoporosis patients. Injections lead to rapid and transient spikes in hormone exposure levels, a profile which is a prerequisite to effectively form bone. Oral antagonists of the calcium-sensing receptor (calcilytics) stimulate PTH secretion and represent thus an alternative approach to elevate hormone levels transiently. We report here on ATF936, a novel calcilytic, which triggered rapid, transient spikes in endogenous PTH levels when given orally in single doses of 10 and 30mg/kg to growing rats, and of 1mg/kg to dogs. Eight weeks daily oral application of 30mg/kg of ATF936 to aged female rats induced in the proximal tibia metaphysis increases in bone mineral density, cancellous bone volume and cortical and trabecular thickness as evaluated by computed tomography. In healthy humans, single oral doses of ATF936 produced peak PTH levels in plasma after a median time of 1h and levels returned to normal at 24-h post-dose. The average maximum PTH concentration increase from baseline was 1.9, 3.6, and 6.0-fold at doses of 40, 70, and 140mg. ATF936 was well tolerated. The sharp, transient increase in PTH levels produced by the oral calcilytic ATF936 was comparable to the PTH profile observed after subcutaneous administration of teriparatide. In conclusion, ATF936 might hold potential as an oral bone-forming osteoporosis therapy.

Abstract
Short-acting oral calcilytics, calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) antagonists, have been considered as alternatives for parathyroid hormone (PTH), an injectable bone anabolic drug used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Previously, we identified aminopropandiol 1, which transiently stimulated endogenous PTH secretion in rats. However, the inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and the low bioavailability of 1 remain to be solved. Attempts to change the physicochemical properties of the highly lipophilic amine 1 by introduction of a carboxylic acid group as well as further structural modifications led to the discovery of the highly potent biphenylcarboxylic acid 15, with a markedly reduced CYP2D6 inhibition and a significantly improved bioavailability. Compound 15 evoked a rapid and transient elevation of endogenous PTH levels in rats after oral administration in a dose-dependent manner at a dose as low as 1 mg/kg. The PTH secretion pattern correlated with the pharmacokinetic profile and agreed well with that of the exogenous PTH injection which exerts a bone anabolic effect.

Abstract
Allosteric receptor modulation is an attractive concept in drug targeting because it offers important potential advantages over conventional orthosteric agonism or antagonism. Allosteric ligands modulate receptor function by binding to a site distinct from the recognition site for the endogenous agonist. They often have no effect on their own and therefore act only in conjunction with physiological receptor activation. This article reviews the current status of allosteric modulation at family C G-protein coupled receptors in the light of their specific structural features on the one hand and current concepts in receptor theory on the other hand. Family C G-protein-coupled receptors are characterized by a large extracellular domain containing the orthosteric agonist binding site known as the "venus flytrap module" because of its bilobal structure and the dynamics of its activation mechanism. Mutational analysis and chimeric constructs have revealed that allosteric modulators of the calcium-sensing, metabotropic glutamate and GABA(B) receptors bind to the seven transmembrane domain, through which they modify signal transduction after receptor activation. This is in contrast to taste-enhancing molecules, which bind to different parts of sweet and umami receptors. The complexity of interactions between orthosteric and allosteric ligands is revealed by a number of adequate biochemical and electrophysiological assay systems. Many allosteric family C GPCR modulators show in vivo efficacy in behavioral models for a variety of clinical indications. The positive allosteric calcium sensing receptor modulator cinacalcet is the first drug of this type to enter the market and therefore provides proof of principle in humans.
