1-Phenyl-4-benzoyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles as Orally Bioavailable Transcriptional Function Suppressors of Estrogen-Related Receptor α
摘要:
Estrogen-related receptor a is a potential candidate target for therapeutic treatment of breast cancer. We describe the discovery and structure activity relationship study of a series of 1-phenyl-4-benzoyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles as novel suppressors of ERR alpha transcriptional functions. The most promising compound, 2-aminophenyl-(1-(3-isopropylpheny1)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methanone (14n), potently suppressed the transcriptional functions of ERR alpha with IC50 = 0.021 mu M in a cell-based reporter gene assay and also decreased both the mRNA levels and the protein levels of ERR alpha and the downstream targets. This compound inhibited the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells with high level of ERR alpha. Preliminary pharmacolcinetic studies suggested that it possessed a good pharmacokinetic profile with an oral bioavailability of 71.8%. The compounds may serve as novel small molecule probes for further validation of ERR alpha as a molecular target for anticancer drug development.
