NOVEL COMPOUNDS, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SAME, METHODS OF USE FOR SAME, AND METHODS FOR PREPARING SAME

The present invention relates to a novel class of compounds comprising formula I, wherein n is 0 or 1. A is NR1, O, or S, wherein R1 is H, hydroxyl, C1-C10 alkyl, C1-C10 alkoxy, alkenyl, aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl. X is a carboxylate, a phosphonate, or a phosphate residue, or a C1-C10 alkyl residue optionally substituted with a carboxylate, phosphonate or phosphate residue. Y is a C1-C20 alkyl, alkenyl, halide, hydroxyl, C1-C20 alkoxy, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, or a heterocyclic ring and is optionally substituted with one or more halides. Z is a H, a hydroxyl group, a halide, an aryl group, an alkylaryl group, an arylalkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a cycloalkenyl group or a heterocyclic ring and is optionally substituted with one or more C1-C10 alkyl groups, C1-C10alkoxy groups, hydroxyl groups, cyano groups, carboxylate groups, halides, aryl groups, alkylaryl groups, arylalkyl groups, cycloalkyl groups, cycloalkenyl groups or heterocyclic rings.

Design and synthesis of small molecule glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase inhibitors

The incidence of obesity and other diseases associated with an increased triacylglycerol mass is growing rapidly, particularly in the United States. Glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) catalyzes the ratelimiting step of glycerolipid biosynthesis, the acylation of glycerol 3-phosphate with saturated long-chain acyl-CoAs. In an effort to produce small molecule inhibitors of this enzyme, a series of benzoic and phosphonic acids was designed and synthesized. In vitro testing of this series has led to the identification of several compounds, in particular 2-(nonylsulfonamido)benzoic acid (15g), possessing moderate GPAT inhibitory activity in an intact mitochondrial assay.
