Design of novel synthetic MTS conjugates of bile acids for site-directed sulfhydryl labeling of cysteine residues in bile acid binding and transporting proteins
摘要:
The purpose of this study was to design bile acid-containing methanethiosulfonate (MTS) agents with appropriate physical attributes to effectively modify the cysteine residues present in the human apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter. Four physical properties including surface area, molecular volume, Clog P, and dipole moment were calculated for each semiempirically optimized structure of NITS compounds. The specificity of the synthesized bile acid-MTS conjugate toward native cysteines and putative bile acid interacting domains of hASBT was supported by the effect of 1 mM cholyl-MTS, cholylglycyl-MTS, and 3-amino-cholyl-MTS on uptake activity, that displayed a significant decrease in TCA affinity (K-T = 69.9 +/- 4.5, 69.01 +/- 6.2, and 63.24 +/- 0.26 mu M and J(max) = 35.8 +/- 0.3, 24.03 +/- 1.22, 46.49 +/- 5.01 pmol mg protein min(-1), respectively). These compounds prove to be effective tools in probing the structural and functional effects of cysteine residues in bile acid binding and transporting proteins. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

In an effort to decrease the toxicity of camptothecin (CPT) and improve selectivity for hepatoma and colon cancer cells, bile acid groups were introduced into the CPT 20 or 10 positions, resulting in the preparation of sixteen novel CPT-bile acid analogues. The compounds in which a bile acid group was introduced at the 20-hydroxyl group of CPT showed better cytotoxic selectivity for human hepatoma and colon cancer cells than for human breast cancer cells. Fluorescence microscopy analysis demonstrated that one compound (E2) entered human hepatoma cells more effectively than it did human breast cancer cells. Compound G4 exhibited the best anti-tumour activity in vivo. These results suggested that introduction of a bile acid group at the 20-position of CPT could decrease toxicity in vivo and improve selectivity for hepatoma cells.
In accordance with the present disclosure, compounds have been discovered that bind to PD-L1 and are capable of inhibiting the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 and CD80. These macrocyclic compounds exhibit in vitro immunomodulatory efficacy thus making them therapeutic candidates for the treatment of various diseases including cancer and infectious diseases.

Synthesis and characterization of bile acid-porphyrin conjugates (BAPs) are reported. Binding of saccharides with BAPs in aqueous methanol was studied by monitoring changes in the visible absorption spectral of the porphyrin-moieties. Although these studies clearly showed absorbance changes, suggesting quite high if non-selective binding, the mass spectral studies do not unambiguously support these results.

Preparation, structural and thermoanalytical characterization of fourteen N-hydroxyalkyl 5 beta-cholan-24-amides have been performed in this study. The utilized techniques include liquid state and CP-MAS C-13 NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, and also powder and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The results were discussed and compared to each other and also to previous findings on similar compounds. One pure hydrate form was obtained. Six new single crystal structures were determined, including one hydrated chloroform solvate. Decomposition temperatures were found to correlate with the side chain length, and the number of the hydroxyl groups. The spatial direction of the groups in the steroid skeleton was also found to be relevant in predicting the thermal properties of bile acid amidoalcohols studied. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
