Herein, we report a photoswitchable modulator for a nuclear hormone receptor that exerts its hormonal effects in a light-dependent fashion. The azobenzene AzoGW enables optical control of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a key regulator of hepatic bile aci

The present technology is directed to compounds of formula (I), compositions, and methods related to modulation of FXR. In particular, the present compounds and compositions may be used to treat FXR-mediated disorders and conditions, including, e.g., liver disease, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesteremia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease, and atherosclerosis, and renal disease.

Our group has previously reported a series of isoflavone derivatives with antidyslipidemic activity. With this background, a series of isoflavone analogs of GW4064 were designed, synthesized and evaluated the lipid-lowering activity of analogs. As a result, most of compounds significantly reduced the lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and four of them (10a, 11, 15c and 15d) showed stronger inhibitory than GW4064. The most potent compound 15d exhibited promising agonistic activity for FXR in a cell-based luciferase reporter assay. Meanwhile, 15d up-regulated FXR, SHP and BSEP gene expression and down-regulated the mRNA expression of lipogenesis gene SREBP-1c. Besides, an improved safety profile of 15d was also observed in a HepG2 cytotoxicity assay compared with GW4064. The obtained biological results were further confirmed by a molecular docking study showing that 15d fitted well in the binding pocket of FXR and interacted with some key residues simultaneously.
