Tranilast is an anti-inflammatory drug in use for asthma and atopic dermatitis. In studies over the last decade it has been revealed that tranilast can reduce fibrosis occurring in the kidney during diabetes, thereby delaying and/or preventing kidney dysfunction. We report a structure-activity study aimed at optimizing the antifibrotic activity of tranilast. A series of cinnamoyl anthranilates were prepared and assessed for their ability to prevent TGF-β-stimulated production of collagen in cultured renal mesangial cells. We reveal derivatives with improved potency and reduced cellular toxicity relative to tranilast. 3-Methoxy-4-propargyloxycinnamoyl anthranilate reduces albuminuria in a rat model of progressive diabetes, and thus has potential as an innovative treatment for diabetic nephropathy.

Dihydroxy stilbene derivatives were designed based on lithospermic acid B and were prepared from 4-(chloromethyl)benzoic acid. The inhibitory activities of the novel compounds against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) were evaluated. 3,4-Dihydroxy stilbene carbonyl compounds (7, 11b, 27b) inhibited PTP1B with IC50 values comparable to molybdate, while the conjugation-extended compound (15b) showed inhibition 3-fold better than preclinical RK682. The introduction of electron withdrawing groups or amides into the second phenyl ring, or extension of the conjugation into the stilbene molecule may increase stability of the generated radicals.
