Synthesis and biological evaluations of chalcones, flavones and chromenes as farnesoid x receptor (FXR) antagonists
摘要:
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor mainly distributed in liver and intestine, has been regarded as a potential target for the treatment of various metabolic diseases, cancer and infectious diseases related to liver. Starting from two previously identified chalcone-based FXR antagonists, we tried to increase the activity through the design and synthesis of a library containing chalcones, flavones and chromenes, based on substitution manipulation and conformation (ring closure) restriction strategy. Many chalcones and four chromenes were identified as microM potent FXR antagonists, among which chromene 11c significantly decreased the plasma and hepatic triglyceride level in KKay mice.

Design, synthesis, and in vitro bioevaluation of a new class of potential dual PPARα and γ agonists discovered through a structure-driven design paradigm are described. The 7-hydroxy-benzopyran-4-one moiety (includes flavones, flavanones, and isoflavones) is the key pharmacophore of these novel molecules, exhibiting similarity to the core structure of both fibrates and thiazolidinediones.
