The transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel is associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury, inflammation, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the limit of specific inhibitors impedes the development of TRPM2-targeted therapeutic agents. To discover more potent and selective TRPM2 inhibitors, 59 N-(p-amylcinnamoyl) anthranilic acid (ACA) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated using calcium imaging and electrophysiology approaches. Systematic structure-activity relationship studies resulted in some potent compounds inhibiting the TRPM2 channel with sub-micromolar half-maximal inhibitory concentration values. Among them, the preferred compound A23 exhibited TRPM2 selectivity over TRPM8 and TRPV1 channels as well as phospholipase A2 and showed neuroprotective activity in vitro. Following pharmacokinetic studies, A23 was further evaluated in a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion model in vivo, which significantly reduced cerebral infarction. These data indicate that A23 might serve as a useful tool for TRPM2-related research as well as a lead compound for the development of therapeutic agents for ischemic injury.

Cinnamoylanthranilates including tranilast have been identified as promising antifibrotics that can reduce fibrosis occurring in the kidney during diabetes, thereby delaying and/or preventing kidney dysfunction. Structure-activity relationships aimed at improving potency and metabolic stability have led to the discovery of FT061. This compound, which bears a bis-difluoromethoxy catechol, attenuates TGF-β-stimulated production of collagen in cultured renal mesangial cells (approx 50% at 3 μM). When dosed orally at 20 mg/kg to male Sprague Dawley rats, FT061 exhibited a high bioavailability (73%), Cmax of 200 μM and Tmax of 150 min, and a half-life of 5.4 h. FT061 reduced albuminuria when orally dosed in rats at 200 mg kg/day in a late intervention study of a rat model of progressive diabetic nephropathy.
