Synthesis and Agonistic Activity at the GPR35 of 5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic Acid Analogues
摘要:
5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), an intermediate of melanin synthesis and an eumelanin building block, was recently discovered to be a GPR35 agonist with moderate potency. Here, we report the synthesis and pharmacological characterization of a series of DHICA analogues against GPR35 using both label-free, dynamic mass redistribution and Tango beta-arrestin translocation assays. This led to identification of novel GPR35 agonists with improved potency and/or having biased agonism.

Dihydroxyindoles such as 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) are the main monomer units of eumelanin, the black to brown pigment in humans, and have emerging biological roles beyond melanin. Elaboration of commercially available 5,6-dimethoxy-2-carboxylate ethylester provides ready access to DHICA-inspired small molecules, including 3-(hetero)aryl-indoles and 4,7-di-(hetero)aryl-indoles.
