Discovery of a potent nicotinic Acid receptor agonist for the treatment of dyslipidemia.

ABSTRACT: Nicotinic acid has been used clinically for decades to control serum lipoproteins. Nicotinic acid lowers very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and lipoprotein-a (LPa), and it is also effective in raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. However, nicotinic acid has several side effects in clinical use. The most notable is intense cutaneous vasodilation "flushing" on the upper body and face. We discovered a pyranopyrimidinedione series to be nicotinic acid receptor agonists. A potent nicotinic acid receptor agonist from this series {5-(3-cyclopropylpropyl)-2-(difluoromethyl)-3H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4,7-dione}with reduced flushing side effect in dogs was identified.

Discovery of SCH 900271, a Potent Nicotinic Acid Receptor Agonist for the Treatment of Dyslipidemia.

Project description:Structure-guided optimization of a series of C-5 alkyl substituents led to the discovery of a potent nicotinic acid receptor agonist SCH 900271 (33) with an EC50 of 2 nM in the hu-GPR109a assay. Compound 33 demonstrated good oral bioavailability in all species. Compound 33 exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of plasma free fatty acid (FFA) with 50% FFA reduction at 1.0 mg/kg in fasted male beagle dogs. Compound 33 had no overt signs of flushing at doses up to 10 mg/kg with an improved therapeutic window to flushing as compared to nicotinic acid. Compound 33 was evaluated in human clinical trials.

Discovery of a Potent and Orally Efficacious TGR5 Receptor Agonist.

Project description:TGR5 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), activation of which promotes secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and modulates insulin secretion. The 2-thio-imidazole derivative 6g was identified as a novel, potent, and selective TGR5 agonist (hTGR5 EC50 = 57 pM, mTGR5 = 62 pM) with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile. The compound 6g was found to have potent glucose lowering effects in vivo during an oral glucose tolerance test in DIO C57 mice with ED50 of 7.9 mg/kg and ED90 of 29.2 mg/kg.

Discovery of a novel potent peptide agonist to adiponectin receptor 1.

Project description:Activation of adiponectin receptors (AdipoRs) by its natural ligand, adiponectin has been known to be involved in modulating critical metabolic processes such as glucose metabolism and fatty acid oxidation as demonstrated by a number of in vitro and in vivo studies over last two decades. These findings suggest that AdipoRs' agonists could be developed into a potential therapeutic agent for metabolic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, especially for type II diabetes, a long-term metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. Because of limitations in production of biologically active adiponectin, adiponectin-mimetic AdipoRs' agonists have been suggested as alternative ways to expand the opportunity to develop anti-diabetic agents. Based on crystal structure of AdipoR1, we designed AdipoR1's peptide agonists using protein-peptide docking simulation and screened their receptor binding abilities and biological functions via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and biological analysis. Three candidate peptides, BHD1028, BHD43, and BHD44 were selected and confirmed to activate AdipoR1-mediated signal pathways. In order to enhance the stability and solubility of peptide agonists, candidate peptides were PEGylated. PEGylated BHD1028 exhibited its biological activity at nano-molar concentration and could be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of diabetes. Also, SPR and virtual screening techniques utilized in this study may potentially be applied to other peptide-drug screening processes against membrane receptor proteins.

Agonist activation of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

Project description:How does an agonist activate a receptor? In this article I consider the activation process in muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), a prototype for understanding the energetics of binding and gating in other ligand-gated ion channels. Just as movements that generate gating currents activate voltage-gated ion channels, movements at binding sites that generate an increase in affinity for the agonist activate ligand-gated ion channels. The main topics are: i) the schemes and intermediate states of AChR activation, ii) the energy changes of each of the steps, iii) the sources of the energies, iv) the three kinds of AChR agonist binding site and v) the correlations between binding and gating energies. The binding process is summarized as sketches of different conformations of an agonist site. The results suggest that agonists lower the free energy of the active conformation of the protein in stages by establishing favorable, local interactions at each binding site, independently. This article is part of the Special Issue entitled 'The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor: From Molecular Biology to Cognition'.
