- Structure-activity relationship study of non-steroidal NPC1L1 ligands identified through cell-based assay using pharmacological chaperone effect as a readout
-
Niemann-Pick type C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) is an intestinal cholesterol transporter that is known to be the target of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe. We previously discovered steroidal NPC1L1 ligands by using a novel cell-based assay that employs pharmacological chaperone effect as a readout. Those steroid derivatives bound to a site different from both the sterol-binding domain and the ezetimibe-binding site, implying that they may be a novel class of NPC1L1 inhibitors with a distinct mode of action. As an extension of that work, we aimed here to find non-steroidal NPC1L1 ligands, which may be better candidates for clinical application than steroidal ligands, by using the same assay to screen our focused library of ligands for liver X receptor (LXR), a nuclear receptor that recognizes oxysterols as endogenous ligands. Here we describe identification of a novel class of NPC1L1 ligands with a ring-fused quinolinone scaffold, and an analysis of the structure-activity relationships of their derivatives as NPC1L1 ligands.

- CATHEPSIN S INHIBITORS
-
Compounds of the formula (I) where R1 is C1-C4 straight or branched alkyl, optionally substituted with up to three substituents selected from halo and hydroxy; R2 is halo, hydroxy, methyloxy, or C1-C2 alkyl, which alkyl is optionally substituted with up to three halogens or an hydroxy or a methyloxy; D is - C3-C7 alkylene-, thereby defining a cycloalkyl ring; E is -C(=O)-, -S(=O)m-, -NRdS(=O)m-, -NRaC(=O)-, -OC(=O)-, R3 is an optionally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring R10 is H, ORc, SRc or together with the gem H is =O or (ORc)2; Ra is independently selected from H, C1-C4 alkyl; have utility in the inhibition of cathepsin S and are thus useful pharmaceuticals against disorders such as autoimmune disorders and chronic pain.
