Transthyretin (TTR) is a homotetrameric protein. Its dissociation into monomers leads to the formation of fibrils that underlie human amyloidogenic diseases. The binding of small molecules to the thyroxin-binding sites in TTR stabilizes the homotetramer and attenuates TTR amyloidosis. Herein, we report on boronic acid-substituted stilbenes that limit TTR amyloidosis in vitro. Assays of affinity for TTR and inhibition of its tendency to form fibrils were coupled with X-ray crystallographic analysis of nine TTR·ligand complexes. The ensuing structure-function data led to a symmetrical diboronic acid that forms a boronic ester reversibly with serine 117. This diboronic acid inhibits fibril formation by both wild-type TTR and a common disease-related variant, V30M TTR, as effectively as does tafamidis, a small-molecule drug used to treat TTR-related amyloidosis in the clinic. These findings establish a new modality for covalent inhibition of fibril formation and illuminate a path for future optimization.

Compounds represented by formula (1), wherein X is, for example, CH, CH2, CHR (wherein R is a lower alkyl group or a substituted lower alkyl group) or CRR′ (wherein R and R′ are the same as the above defined R); Y is, for example, CH, CH2or C═O; Z is, for example, O, S, S=O or SO2; U is C or N; R1to R4are each independently, for example, a hydrogen atom, OR, SR (wherein R is the same as defined above), or an aromatic ring, a substituted aromatic ring or a heterocycle; at least one of R5and R8is, for example, OH and the remaining of R5and R8are each independently, for example, a hydrogen atom or OH, optical isomers thereof, conjugates thereof or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are provided. These compounds are characterized in having a wide range of pharmacological actions such as an excellent relaxing action of tracheal smooth muscles, an inhibition of airway hypersensitivity and an inhibition of infiltration of inflammatory cells into the airway and, in addition, high safety.
