still represents a high unmet medical need. Specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (SMURF1) is a HECT E3 ligase that ubiquitinates key signaling molecules from the TGFβ/BMP pathways, which are of great relevance in the pathophysiology of PAH. Herein, the design and synthesis of novel potent small-molecule SMURF1 ligase inhibitors are described. Lead molecule 38 has demonstrated good oral pharmacokinetics
肺动脉高压(PAH)是一种毁灭性的罕见疾病,尽管目前有可用的治疗方法,但仍然代表着很高的未满足的医疗需求。特异性 E3 泛素蛋白连接酶 1 (SMURF1) 是一种 HECT E3 连接酶,可泛素化 TGFβ/BMP 通路中的关键信号分子,这些分子与 PAH 的病理生理学密切相关。本文描述了新型有效小分子 SMURF1 连接酶抑制剂的设计和合成。先导分子38在大鼠中表现出良好的口服药代动力学,并且在肺动脉高压啮齿动物模型中具有显着疗效。
