Bi-aryl Analogues of Salicylic Acids: Design, Synthesis and SAR Study to Ameliorate Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
摘要:
Introduction: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress condition is characterized as the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins in lumen of ER. This condition has been implicated in various diseases and pathologies including β-cell apoptosis, Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis. We have reported that hydroxynaphthoic acids (HNA), naphthalene analogues of salicylic acid (SA), reduced ER stress. In this study, we explored structural modification to bi-aryl analogues of SA. Methods: Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling was applied to synthesize bi-aryl analogues of SA. Anti-ER stress activity was monitored by using our cell-based assay system where ER stress is induced by tunicamycin. To monitor ER stress markers, ER stress was induced physiologically relevant palmitate system. Results: Many analogues decreased ER stress signal induced by tunicamycin. Compounds creating dihedral angle between Ar group and SA moiety generally increased the activity but gave some cytotoxicity to indicate the crucial role of flat conformation of aromatic region. The best compound (16e) showed up to almost 6-fold and 90-fold better activity than 3-HNA and tauro-ursodeoxycholic acid, positive controls, respectively. ER stress markers such as p-PERK and p-JNK were accordingly decreased in Western blotting upon treatment of 16e under palmitate-induced condition. Conclusion: Anti-ER stress activity and toxicity profile of bi-aryl analogues of SA could provide a novel platform for potential therapy for protein misfolding diseases.

extracellular loop (LEL) of the CD81‐receptor (crystal structure: PDB‐ID: 1G8Q). After benzyl salicylate had been experimentally validated to be a moderate inhibitor of the CD81‐LEL–HCV‐E2interaction, further optimization was performed and heterocyclic‐substituted benzyl salicylate derivatives were synthesized. The compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit the interaction of a fluorescence‐labeled

Disruption of cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB) provides a potential new strategy to address acute leukemia, a disease associated with poor prognosis, and for which conventional treatment options often carry a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. We describe the structure-activity relationships (SAR) for a series of XX-650-23 derived from naphthol AS-E phosphate that disrupts binding and activation of CREB by the CREB-binding protein (CBP). Through the development of this series, we identified several salicylamides that are potent inhibitors of acute leukemia cell viability through inhibition of CREB-CBP interaction. Among them, a biphenyl salicylamide, compound 71, was identified as a potent inhibitor of CREB-CBP interaction with improved physicochemical properties relative to previously described derivatives of naphthol AS-E phosphate.
