Discovery and Development of TMPRSS6 Inhibitors Modulating Hepcidin Levels in Human Hepatocytes
摘要:
Iron overload disorders are characterized by the body's inability to regulate iron absorption and its storage which can lead to organ failures. Accumulated evidence has revealed that hepcidin, the master regulator of iron homeostasis, is negatively modulated by TMPRSS6 (matriptase-2), a liver-specific type II transmembrane serine protease (TTSP). Here, we report that treatment with a pep-tidomimetic inhibitor affecting TMPRSS6 activity increases hepcidin production in hepatic cells. Moreover, similar effects were observed when using non-peptidic inhibitors obtained through optimization of hits from high-throughput screening. Using HepG2 cells and human primary hepato-cytes, we show that TMPRSS6 inhibitors block TMPRSS6- dependent hemojuvelin cleavage and increase HAMP expression and levels of secreted hepcidin.

[EN] A process for resolving a compound in racemic form comprising the following steps is described: a) reacting a compound in racemic form with a resolving agent, b) forming a diastereoisomeric complex of the resolving agent and an enantiomer of interest, c} separating the enantiomer of interest from the obtained diastereoisomer, wherein such a process is characterized in that said resolving agent is a compound of Formula (I). A diastereoisomeric complex between the resolving agent of Formula (I) and the enantiomer of interest is also described. The process according to the invention allows acid and basic racemic mixtures to be separated. [FR] L'invention concerne un procédé de résolution de composé sous forme racémique, qui consiste à: (a) effectuer la réaction du composé sous forme racémique avec un agent de résolution, (b) produire un complexe diastéréomère constitué de l'agent de résolution et d'un énantiomère, (c) séparer cet énantiomère du diastéréomère obtenu, ce procédé étant caractérisé par le fait que ledit agent de résolution est un composé représenté par la formule (I). L'invention concerne également un complexe diastéréomère constitué de l'agent de résolution représenté par la formule (I) et de l'énantiomère. Ce procédé permet de séparer des mélanges racémiques acides et basiques.
