Development of the First Potential Covalent Inhibitors of Anandamide Cellular Uptake
摘要:
On the basis of the chemical structures of two previously developed metabolically stable and relatively potent inhibitors of anandamide uptake, OMDM-1,2, two series of potential covalent inhibitors of anandamide cellular reuptake, which might be used for the molecular characterization of the protein(s) involved in the membrane transport of endocannabinoids, have been designed and synthesized. Most of the compounds inhibited uptake to a varied extent and in a generally enantio-sensitive manner when co-incubated with [C-14]anandamide, but only three of them, the photoactivatable 1a (OMDM-37), 1b (OMDM-39), and 8 (Lo395), also produced a significant inhibition of uptake following the preincubation only of the cells, and this effect was significantly enhanced following UV exposure only in the case of 8. None of the new compounds inhibited [C-14]anandamide hydrolysis with IC50 < 50 mu M, except for 1b.

The present invention relates to a cationic lipid having one or more biodegradable groups located in the mid- or distal section of a lipidic moiety (e.g., a hydrophobic chain) of the cationic lipid. These cationic lipids may be incorporated into a lipid particle for delivering an active agent, such as a nucleic acid. The invention also relates to lipid particles comprising a neutral lipid, a lipid capable of reducing aggregation, a cationic lipid of the present invention, and optionally, a sterol. The lipid particle may further include a therapeutic agent such as a nucleic acid.

lysocardiolipin acyltransferase-1) facilitates the conversion of CL by incorporating polyunsaturated fatty acids into lysocardiolipin. Accumulating evidence suggests that overexpression of ALCAT1 is involved in pathological cardiolipin remodeling and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Few ALCAT1 modulators are reported in the literature, and the enzymatic activity was tested via a low-throughput TLC (thin
