group is replaced with pyridine or fluorine-substituted benzene was synthesized. Among them the pyridine- and tetrazole-containing compound 24 has significantly improved solubility and reduced CYP3A4 inhibition compared to itraconazole. Similar to itraconazole, compound 24 inhibited the AMPK/mTOR signaling axis and the glycosylation of VEGFR2. It also induced cholesterol accumulation in the endolysosome
伊曲康唑是一种广泛使用的抗真菌药物,被发现具有抗血管生成活性,目前正接受多种临床试验来治疗不同类型的癌症。但是,它具有极低的溶解度和通过抑制CYP3A4与许多药物的强烈相互作用,限制了其作为新的抗血管生成和抗癌药物的潜力。为了解决这些问题,合成了一系列类似物,其中苯基被吡啶或氟取代的苯取代。其中,与伊曲康唑相比,含吡啶和四唑的化合物24的溶解度显着提高,并且对CYP3A4的抑制作用降低。与伊曲康唑相似,化合物24抑制AMPK / mTOR信号轴和VEGFR2的糖基化。在模拟研究中,它还诱导胆固醇在溶酶体中积累,并证明与NPC1的固醇感应域结合。这些结果表明,化合物24可以作为开发新一代抗血管生成药物的有吸引力的候选物。
