Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is an endogenous lipid mediator that reduces food intake, promotes lipolysis, and decreases body weight gain in rodents by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α). The biological effects of OEA are terminated by two intracellular lipid hydrolase enzymes, fatty-acid amide hydrolase and N -acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase. In the present study, we describe OEA analogs that resist enzymatic hydrolysis, activate PPAR-α with high potency in vitro, and persistently reduce feeding when administered in vivo either parenterally or orally. The most potent of these compounds, ( Z )-( R )-9-octadecenamide, N -(2-hydroxyethyl,1-methyl) (KDS-5104), stimulates transcriptional activity of PPAR-α with a half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of 100 ± 21 nM ( n = 11). Parenteral administration of KDS-5104 in rats produces persistent dose-dependent prolongation of feeding latency and postmeal interval (half-maximal effective dose, ED50 = 2.4 ± 1.8 mg kg-1 i.p.; n = 18), as well as increased and protracted tissue exposure compared with OEA. Oral administration of the compound also results in a significant tissue exposure and reduction of food intake in free-feeding rats. These results suggest that the endogenous high-affinity PPAR-α agonist OEA may provide a scaffold for the discovery of novel orally active PPAR-α ligands.
油酰乙醇酰胺(OEA)是一种内源性脂质介质,可通过激活过氧化物酶体增殖激活受体-α(PPAR-α)来降低啮齿动物的食物摄入量、促进脂肪分解并减少体重增加。OEA 的生物效应由两种细胞内脂质水解酶(脂肪酸酰胺水解酶和 N -酰基乙醇胺水解酸酰胺酶)终止。在本研究中,我们描述了能抵抗酶水解的 OEA 类似物,它们能在体外高效力地激活 PPAR-α,并在体内经肠道或口服给药后持续减少摄食。这些化合物中效力最强的是 ( Z )-( R )-9- 十八烯酰胺,N -(2-羟乙基,1-甲基)(KDS-5104),它能刺激 PPAR-α 的转录活性,其半最大有效浓度(EC50)为 100 ± 21 nM(n = 11)。与 OEA 相比,KDS-5104 给大鼠肠外给药会产生持续的剂量依赖性进食潜伏期和餐后间隔延长(半数最大有效剂量,ED50 = 2.4 ± 1.8 mg kg-1 i.p.;n = 18),以及组织暴露增加和延长。在自由采食的大鼠中,口服该化合物也会导致显著的组织暴露和食物摄入量减少。这些结果表明,内源性高亲和力 PPAR-α 激动剂 OEA 可为发现新型口服活性 PPAR-α 配体提供支架。
