Recently, we reported a novel role for KMO in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). A number of inhibitors of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) have previously been described as potential treatments for neurodegenerative conditions and particularly for Huntington’s disease. However, the inhibitors reported to date have insufficient aqueous solubility relative to their cellular potency to be compatible
最近,我们报道了KMO在急性胰腺炎(AP)发病机理中的新作用。犬尿氨酸3-单加氧酶(KMO)的许多抑制剂以前已被描述为神经退行性疾病,尤其是亨廷顿舞蹈病的潜在治疗方法。然而,迄今为止报道的抑制剂相对于其细胞效力而言,其水溶性不足以与AP中所需的静脉内(iv)给药途径相容。我们已经鉴定并优化了一系列具有良好理化特性的新型高亲和力KMO抑制剂。最主要的例子是选择性强,在两个物种中清除率低,在急性胰腺炎的大鼠模型中预防肺和肾脏的损害,并正在向临床前发展。
