This invention relates to compounds and their use as inhibitors or activators of Rab7 GTPase to treat or prevent the onset of Rab 7 GTPase-associated disorders such as neuropathies, cancer, metabolic diseases of bone and lipid storage. The invention is also applicable to infectious diseases where Rab7 is inactivated or its protein-protein interactions are modulated to facilitate intracellular survival of pathogens. The compound described acts as a competitive inhibitor of nucleotide binding and as such also has utility as a scaffold for targeting other small GTPases. In one aspect, methods of treatment of the invention are used to treat or prevent the onset of hereditary sensory neuropathies such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2B disease. Related pharmaceutical compositions, assays, and drug screens are also provided.
本发明涉及化合物及其作为Rab7 GTP酶抑制剂或激活剂的用途,以治疗或预防Rab 7 GTP酶相关疾病,如神经病变、癌症、骨代谢疾病和脂质储存病。该发明还适用于Rab7被失活或其蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用被调节以促进病原体的细胞内生存的感染性疾病。所述化合物作为核苷酸结合的竞争性抑制剂,并且也具有作为靶向其他小GTP酶的支架的效用。在一个方面,本发明的治疗方法用于治疗或预防遗传性感觉神经病变,如Charcot-Marie-Tooth 2B病。还提供相关的制药组合物、测定和药物筛选。
