have been linked to an increased susceptibility to cancer and autoimmune disease. Here, we report the discovery of novel ERAP1 inhibitors using a high throughput screening approach. Due to ERAP1 broad substrate specificity, the hit finding strategy included testing inhibitors with a range of biochemical assays. Based on the hit potency, selectivity, and in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism
ERAP1 是在主要组织相容性复合物 (MHC) 呈递之前参与肽修整的关键氨肽酶。ERAP1 基因中的单核苷酸多态性 (SNP) 可导致修剪活性受损并影响 ERAP1 功能。ERAP1 基因变异与癌症和自身免疫性疾病的易感性增加有关。在这里,我们报告了使用高通量筛选方法发现的新型 ERAP1 抑制剂。由于 ERAP1 广泛的底物特异性,命中发现策略包括使用一系列生化分析测试抑制剂。基于命中效力、选择性和体外吸收、分布、代谢、排泄和毒性,选择苯并呋喃系列。设计并合成了 15 种衍生物,化合物效价提高到纳摩尔范围,构效关系得到建模研究的支持。
