Synthesis and pharmacological characterization of novel inverse agonists acting on the viral-encoded chemokine receptor US28
摘要:
G-protein coupled receptors encoded by viruses represent an unexplored class of potential drug targets. In this study, we describe the synthesis and pharmacological characterization of the first class of inverse agonists acting on the HCMV-encoded receptor US28. It is shown that replacement of the 4-hydroxy group of lead compound I with a methylamine group results in a significant 6-fold increase in affinity. Interestingly, increasing the rigidity of the spacer by the introduction of a double bond also leads to a significant increase in binding affinity compared to 1. These novel inverse agonists serve as valuable tools to elucidate the role of constitutive signaling in the pathogenesis of viral infection and may have therapeutic potential as leads for new antiviral drugs.

(EN) A compound of formula (I). The present invention relates to therapeutically active carbazole derivatives, a method of preparing the same and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds. The novel compounds are useful in treating a central nervous system ailment related to the inhibition of GABA uptake via the GAT-4 subtype carrier.(FR) Composé de formule (I). Cette invention concerne des dérivés de carbazole thérapeutiquement actifs, un procédé de préparation de ces dérivés ainsi que des compositions pharmaceutiques comprenant ces composés. On utilise ces nouveaux composés dans le traitement d'un touble du système nerveux central lié à l'inhibition de l'apport du GABA par l'intermédiaire du vecteur du sous-type GAT-4.
