On the Intractability of Estrogen-Related Receptor α as a Target for Activation by Small Molecules
摘要:
The estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERR alpha) is a potential target for activation in the treatment of metabolic disease. To date, no small-molecule agonists of ERR alpha have been identified despite several high-throughput screening campaigns. We describe the synthesis and profiling of a small array of compounds designed on the basis of a previously reported agonist-bound crystal structure of the closely related receptor ERR gamma. The results suggest that ERRa may be intractable as a direct target for pharmacologic activation.

Herein we report the design and synthesis of a series of simple phenol amide ERRγ agonists based on a hydrazone lead molecule. Our structureactivityrelationship studies in this series revealed the phenol portion of the molecule to be required for activity. Attempts to replace the hydrazone with more suitable chemotypes led to a simple amide as a viable alternative. Differential hydrogen-deuterium
Disclosed is the use of the reactive components of the inverse electron-demand Diels Alder reaction for chemical masking and unmasking in vitro. This can be applied in complex chemical reactions and, particularly in the synthesis of biomolecules, e.g. on solid supports. The reactive components are a dienophile, particularly a trans-cyclooctene, and a diene, particularly a tetrazine.
