Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) type 1 and 2 are disorders of calcium homeostasis caused by gain of function variants. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a class C GPCR that responds to elevated extracellular calcium (Ca2+ o) by inhibiting parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and promoting renal excretion of Ca2+ and other salts to restore physiologically normal Ca2+ o concentrations. CaSR negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) transiently raise PTH levels in individuals with ADH1, restoring Ca2+ o concentration to a physiological normal range. Herein we disclose the discovery of a chemoreactive NAM (ATF936-NCS, 4) for the CaSR that (i) is wash-resistant indicative of irreversible receptor binding and (ii) stimulates prolonged PTH release in vivo. This 'first-in-class' chemical probe will provide invaluable insight towards the development of longer acting NAMs for the treatment of ADH.
