Isoform-Selective and Stereoselective Inhibition of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-2
摘要:
Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) transcription factors reside at the center of signaling pathways used by mammalian cells to sense and respond to low oxygen levels. While essential to maintain oxygen homeostasis, misregulation of HIF protein activity correlates with tumor development and metastasis. To provide artificial routes to target misregulated HIF activity, we identified small molecule antagonists of the HIF-2 transcription factor that bind an internal cavity within the C-terminal PAS domain of the HIF-2 alpha subunit. Here we describe a new class of chiral small molecule ligands that provide the highest affinity binding, the most effective, isoform-selective inhibition of HIP-2 in cells, and trigger the largest protein conformation changes reported to date. The current results further illuminate the molecular mechanism of HIF-2 antagonism and suggest additional routes to develop higher affinity and potency HIF-2 antagonists.

Disclosed is a chalcone composition for treating diabetes and metabolic syndromes. In particular, the chalcone compound bound with 2-halogen in ring A significantly decreases the blood glucose level in the in vitro anti-diabetic effect experiment. In the in vivo animal model, the leading chalcone compound can prevent the progression of diabetes and control the blood glucose level, and there is no significant difference in the gains in body weight. Throughout the seven-week administration, there are no hepatic or renal toxicity observed.

Chalcones bearing electron donating or electron withdrawing substitutions were prepared and their glucose uptake activity was evaluated. Chalcone derivatives were synthesized in one step protocol with high purity and yield. Chalcones with chloro, bromo, iodo and hydroxy substitutions at position 2 on A-ring exhibited the highest activity with glucose medium concentration (210 to 236 mg/dl) compared to pioglitazone and rosiglitazone (230 and 263 mg/dl, respectively). Also chalcones with iodo substitution at position 3 on A-ring were comparably active (<= 238 mg/dl). The structure-activity relationship of the tested chalcones was studied and the findings were supported statistically (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
