Structure-guided design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of a series of pyrazole-based fatty acid binding protein (FABP) 3 ligands
摘要:
We designed a series of pyrazole-based carboxylic acids as candidate ligands of heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP, or FABP3), based on a comparison of the X-ray crystallographic structures of adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (FABP4)-selective inhibitor (BMS309403) complex and FABP3-elaidic acid complex. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited dual FABP3/4 ligand activity, and some exhibited selectivity for FABP3. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
