Compounds including substituted thienopyrimidinone derivatives as ligands for modulating chemosensory receptors
The present invention provides compounds including substituted thienopyrimidinone derivatives of Formula (IIc) as ligands for modulating chemosensory receptors:These compounds are useful as sweet taste enhancers in comestible or medicinal compositions. The present invention also provides screening methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors as well as modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands.
