with an IC50 value of 0.73 nM against cholesterol esterase. To determine the type of inhibition, enzyme kinetic studies were carried out for B-16, which revealed its mixed-type inhibition approach. Moreover, to figure out the key binding interactions of B-16 with the amino acid residues of the enzyme's active site, molecular protein–ligand docking studies were also performed. B-16 completely blocks the

using cell-based assays, of a series of benzoflavone analogues to examine structure-activity relationships and to identify compounds having greater potency for activation of both wild type CFTR and a mutant CFTR (G551D-CFTR) that causes cystic fibrosis in some human subjects. Using UCCF-029 as a structural guide, a panel of 77 flavonoid analogues was prepared. Analysis of the panel in FRT cells indicated
The physiological role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is not yet fully understood, and investigation is hampered by the limited solubility of reported AhR ligands in aqueous media. To achieve improved solubility, we focused on our previous finding that planarity-disruption of molecules leads to less efficient crystal packing and greater aqueous solubility. Here, we describe chemical modification of an AhR agonist, beta-naphthoflavone, focusing on planarity-disruption. As expected, introduction of substituents at the ortho-positions of the phenyl group resulted in greater solubility. Among the compounds prepared, the fluoro analog showed more potent AhR agonistic activity and greater solubility than did b-naphthoflavone. Our results indicate that this strategy to improve aqueous solubility, that is, introduction of substituent(s) that disrupt planarity, may be generally applicable to bicyclic molecules.
