Chemical Subtleties in Small-Molecule Modulation of Peptide Receptor Function: The Case of CXCR3 Biaryl-Type Ligands
摘要:
The G protein-coupled chemokine receptor CXCR3 plays a role in numerous inflammatory events. The endogenous ligands for the chemokine receptors are peptides, but in this study we disclose small-molecule ligands that are able to activate CXCR3. A class of biaryl-type compounds that is assembled by convenient synthetic routes is described as a new class of CXCR3 agonists. Intriguingly, structure-activity relationship and structure-function relationship studies reveal that subtle chemical modifications on the outer aryl ring (e.g., either the size or position of a halogen atom) result in a full spectrum of agonist efficacies on CXCR3. Quantum mechanics calculations and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy NMR studies suggest that the biaryl dihedral angle and the electronic nature of ortho-substituents play an important role in determining agonist efficacies. Compounds 38 (VUF11222) and 39 (VUF11418) are the first reported nonpeptidomimetic agonists on CXCR3, rendering them highly useful chemical tools for detailed assessment of CXCR3 activation as well as for studying downstream CXCR3 signaling.

surfactant. The redox reaction between o-aminothiophenol and Pd(NO3)2 leads to the simultaneous formation of a PATP polymer and Pd nanoparticles. The PATP-stabilized Pd nanoparticles have been characterized by TEM, FTIR, XRD, ICP-MS and XPS. Catalytic results showed that PATP-stabilized Pd nanoparticles were highly stable and active catalysts for Suzukicross-couplingreactions, where high yields could
