RESUMEN

Activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) by inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) has the potential for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications, caused by the malfunction of the glycolytic system and glucose oxidation. In this paper, we describe the identification of novel PDHK inhibitors with a fluorene structure. High-throughput screening using our in-house library provided compound 6 as a weak inhibitor that occupied the allosteric lipoyl group binding site in PDHK2. Structure-based drug design (SBDD) while addressing physicochemical properties succeeded in boosting inhibitory activity approximately 700-fold. Thus obtained compound 32 showed favorable pharmacokinetics profiles supported by high membrane permeability and metabolic stability, and exhibited activation of PDH in rat livers and a glucose lowering effect in Zucker fatty rats.

RESUMEN

A number of RORγ inhibitors have been reported over the past decade. There were also several examples advancing to human clinical trials, however, none of them has reached the market yet, suggesting that there could be common obstacles for their future development. As was expected from the general homology of nuclear receptor ligands, insufficient selectivity as well as poor physicochemical properties were identified as potential risks for a RORγ program. Based on such considerations, we conducted a SAR investigation by prioritizing drug-like properties to mitigate such potential drawbacks. After an intensive SAR exploration with strong emphasis on "drug-likeness" indices, an orally available RORγ inhibitor, JTE-151, was finally generated and was advanced to a human clinical trial. The compound was confirmed to possess highly selective profiles along with good metabolic stability, and most beneficially, no serious adverse events (SAE) and good PK profiles were observed in the human clinical trial.

RESUMEN

The NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in the defense mechanism of the innate immune system and has recently attracted much attention as a drug target for various inflammatory disorders. Among the strategies for generating the novel chemotype in current drug discovery, scaffold hopping and bioisosteric replacement are known to be attractive approaches. As the results of our medicinal chemistry campaign, which involved exploration of core motifs using a ring closing approach, a five-membered oxazole-based scaffold was identified, and subsequent implementation of bioisosteric replacement led to discovery of a novel chemical class of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor bearing the acylsulfamide group. Further optimization of aniline and sulfamide moieties to improve potency in human whole blood assay led to the identification of the orally bioactive compound 32 in the LPS challenge model. Furthermore, compound 32 attenuated kidney injury in adriamycin-induced glomerulonephritis in mice. These investigations indicated that the NLRP3 inhibitor could be a potential therapeutic agent for glomerulonephritis.

RESUMEN

Homoserine dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus (TtHSD) is a key enzyme in the aspartate pathway that catalyses the reversible conversion of l-aspartate-ß-semialdehyde to l-homoserine (l-Hse) with NAD(P)H. We determined the crystal structures of unliganded TtHSD, TtHSD complexed with l-Hse and NADPH, and Lys99Ala and Lys195Ala mutant TtHSDs, which have no enzymatic activity, complexed with l-Hse and NADP+ at 1.83, 2.00, 1.87 and 1.93 Å resolutions, respectively. Binding of l-Hse and NADPH induced the conformational changes of TtHSD from an open to a closed form: the mobile loop containing Glu180 approached to fix l-Hse and NADPH, and both Lys99 and Lys195 could make hydrogen bonds with the hydroxy group of l-Hse. The ternary complex of TtHSDs in the closed form mimicked a Michaelis complex better than the previously reported open form structures from other species. In the crystal structure of Lys99Ala TtHSD, the productive geometry of the ternary complex was almost preserved with one new water molecule taking over the hydrogen bonds associated with Lys99, while the positions of Lys195 and l-Hse were significantly retained with those of the wild-type enzyme. These results propose new possibilities that Lys99 is the acid-base catalytic residue of HSDs.
