The first synthetic agonists of FFA2: Discovery and SAR of phenylacetamides as allosteric modulators
摘要:
Free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFA2) is a G-protein coupled receptor for which only short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been reported as endogenous ligands. We describe the discovery and optimization of phenylacetamides as allosteric agonists of FFA2. These novel ligands can suppress adipocyte lipolysis in vitro and reduce plasma FFA levels in vivo, suggesting that these allosteric modulators can serve as pharmacological tools for exploring the potential function of FFA2 in various disease conditions.

Severe influenza is associated with defects in pulmonary innate immunity, a phenomenon leading to secondary bacterial infections. The gut microbiota can control immune/inflammatory responses locally and at distant sites. The inventors hypothesized that perturbation of the gut microbiota during severe influenza might participate in bacterial superinfection. Their data demonstrated that influenza infection profoundly altered the functionality of the gut microbiota as assessed by the altered production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Remarkably, treatment of IAV-infected mice with acetate, the main SCFA found systematically, reinforced host defenses against S. pneumoniae. Lastly, the inventors showed that pharmacological manipulation of the FFAR2 agonist TUG-1375 provides the same benefit as acetate in the treatment of bacterial superinfection post-influenza. The present invention thus relates to the use of synthetic free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFAR2) agonist for the treatment of bacterial superinfections post-viral infection (e.g. post-influenza).
