the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Here, the identification and characterization of a high throughput screening hit 6 as a potentiator of mutant human F508del and wild-type CFTR channels is reported. The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of compounds 7–33 to establish structure–activity relationships of the scaffold are described, leading to the identification
囊性纤维化跨膜电导调节器 (CFTR) 离子通道中的突变被确定为破坏性肺病囊性纤维化 (CF) 的主要致病因素。最近,香烟烟雾暴露已被证明与气道上皮离子转运功能障碍有关,这表明 CFTR 在慢性阻塞性肺病 (COPD) 的发病机制中起作用。在这里,报告了高通量筛选命中6作为突变人类 F508del 和野生型 CFTR 通道的增强剂的鉴定和表征。化合物7 – 33的设计、合成和生物学评价描述了建立支架的构效关系,从而确定了临床开发化合物 icenticaftor (QBW251) 33,该化合物随后取得了进展,为 CF 和 COPD 患者提供了两个积极的临床概念证明,现在正在进一步开发作为 COPD 患者的一种新型治疗方法。
