Triterpenoid Hydroxamates as HIF Prolyl Hydrolase Inhibitors
摘要:
Pentacyclic triterpenoid acids (PCTTAs) are pleiotropic agents that target many macromolecular endpoints with low to moderate affinity. To explore the biological space associated with PCTTAs, we have investigated the carboxylate-to-hydroxamate transformation, discovering that it de-emphasizes affinity for the transcription factors targeted by the natural compounds (NF-kappa B, STAT3, Nrf2, TGRS) and selectively induces inhibitory activity on HIF prolyl hydrolases (PHDs). Activity was reversible, isoform-selective, dependent on the hydroxamate location, and negligible when this group was replaced by other chelating elements or O-alkylated. The hydroxamate of betulinic acid (Sb) was selected for further studies, and evaluation of its effect on HIF-la expression under normal and hypoxic conditions qualified it as a promising lead structure for the discovery of new candidates in the realm of neuroprotection.

Proteintyrosinephosphatase1B is a key factor in the negative regulation of insulin pathway and a promising target for treatment of diabetes and obesity. Herein, a series of competitive inhibitors were optimized from oleanolic acid, a natural triterpenoid identified against PTP1B by screening libraries of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. Modifying at 3 and 28 positions, we obtained compound 13
Two series of oleanolic acid derivatives were synthesized and their inhibitory activity on the formation of osteoclast-like multinucleated cells (OCLs) induced by 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy vitamin D-3 was evaluated in a co-culture assay system. The structure-activity relationships, together with electronic structure based on the frontier molecular orbitals, for example, HOMO and LUMO, related to different amino acid substituents were studied. Derivatives with proline or phenylalanine showed a tendency to enhance the inhibitory activity. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and evaluation of potential complement inhibitory semisynthetic analogs of oleanolic acid
A number of semisynthetic analogs of oleanolic acid have been synthesized and tested for their complement inhibitory, cytotoxic and apoptotic activities. Among these, compounds 10 and 17 exhibited complement inhibitory potency superior to oleanolic acid. Both have also shown a moderate improvement in in vitro therapeutic index (T.I.).
