New telmisartan-derived PPARγ agonists: Impact of the 3D-binding mode on the pharmacological profile
摘要:
In previous studies, the 4'-((2-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yemethyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid was identified as pharmacophoric core for PPAR gamma activation. In this structure-activity relationship study the C2-alkyl chain was elongated and the 2-COOH group was changed to a carbamide/carbonitrile or shifted to the 3- or 4-position. Furthermore, the benzo[d]imidazole was exchanged by 2,3dihydrobenzo[d]thiazole or 1H-indole. C2-propyl derivatives showed the profile of partial agonists, while elongation of the C2-chain to that of an n-heptyl group or a 4-COOH shift changed the pharmacological profile to that of a potent full agonist. This finding can be explained by binding to the LBD in different ligand conformations. Two anchoring points (Tyr473 and Arg288) exist in the LBD, which have to be contacted to achieve receptor activation. In a crystal violet chemosensitivity assay using COS-7 cells and LNCaP cells expressing PPAR gamma only the carbamide derivatives influenced the cell growth, independently on the presence of the PPAR gamma. Therefore, receptor mediated cytotoxicity can be excluded. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

New strategies to eradicate cancer stem cells in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) include a combination of imatinib with peroxisomeproliferator‐activatedreceptorgamma (PPARγ) ligands. Recently, we identified the partial PPARγ agonist telmisartan as effective sensitizer of resistant K562 CML cells to imatinib treatment. Here, the importance of the heterocyclic core on the cell death‐modulating effects

In this and previous studies we investigated the importance of partial structures of Telmisartan on PPAR gamma activation. The biphenyl-4-ylmethyl moiety at N1 and residues at C2 of the central benzimidazole were identified to be essential for receptor activation and potency of receptor binding. Now we focused our attention on positions 5 and 6 of the central benzimidazole and introduced bromine (3b-5/6, 3c), phenylcarbonyl (3d-5/6), hydroxy(phenyl) methyl (3g-5/6), hydroxymethyl (3h-5/6) and formyl (3i) groups. The selection of these moieties was inspired by the structure of Losartan and its metabolite EXP3179. In order to increase the hydrophobicity of the central part of the molecule, the benzimidazole was exchanged by a naphtho[2,3-d] imidazole (5). The compounds 3a-3i and 5 were tested in a differentiation assay using 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and a luciferase assay using COS-7 cells, transiently transfected with pGal4-hPPAR gamma DEF, pGal5-TK-pGL3 and pRL-CMV, as established models for the assessment of cellular PPAR gamma activation. An enhanced effect on PPAR gamma activation could be observed if lipophilic moieties are introduced in these positions. 4 '-[(2-Propyl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d] imidazol-1-yl) methyl] biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid (5) was identified as the most potent compound with an EC50 of 0.26 mu M and the profile of a full agonist.Together with compounds of the former structure-activity relationship study (position 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives 4a-4j), the binding mode of Telmisartan and its derivatives have been analyzed in 3D pharmacophore-driven docking experiments.
