In this study, we evaluated the chemical chaperone activity of synthetic 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) derivatives. These derivatives have a methoxy group at the benzene ring and/or longer or shorter fatty acid portions. Several 4-PBA derivatives demonstrated higher antiaggregation activity than 4-PBA. Moreover, 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)butanoic acid (7b) showed protective effects against endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced neuronal cell death.
本研究中,我们评估了合成4-苯基丁酸(4-PBA)衍生物的化学伴侣活性。这些衍生物在苯环上具有甲氧基和/或更长或更短的脂肪酸部分。多个4-PBA衍生物表现出比4-PBA更高的抗聚集活性。此外,4-(4-甲氧基苯基)丁酸(7b)显示出对内质网应激诱导的神经细胞死亡的保护作用。
