Abstract
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) protein plays an important role in the inflammatory response, and it has been associated with different pain conditions and pain-related diseases, making TRPA1 a valid target for painkillers. In this study, we identified potential TRPA1 inhibitors and located their binding sites utilizing computer-aided drug design (CADD) techniques. The designed 3-phenylcoumarin-based TRPA1 inhibitors were successfully synthesized using a microwave assisted synthetic strategy. 3-(3-Bromophenyl)-7-acetoxycoumarin (5), 7-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)coumarin (12) and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)coumarin (23) all showed inhibitory activity toward TRPA1 in vitro. Compound 5 also decreased the size and formation of breast cancer cells. Hence, targeting TRPA1 may represent a promising alternative for the treatment of pain and inflammation.
期刊介绍:
ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is interested in receiving manuscripts that discuss various aspects of medicinal chemistry. The journal will publish studies that pertain to a broad range of subject matter, including compound design and optimization, biological evaluation, drug delivery, imaging agents, and pharmacology of both small and large bioactive molecules. Specific areas include but are not limited to:
Identification, synthesis, and optimization of lead biologically active molecules and drugs (small molecules and biologics)
Biological characterization of new molecular entities in the context of drug discovery
Computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification or SAR analysis of bioactive molecules, ligands and their targets, etc.
Novel and improved methodologies, including radiation biochemistry, with broad application to medicinal chemistry
Discovery technologies for biologically active molecules from both synthetic and natural (plant and other) sources
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies that address mechanisms underlying drug disposition and response
Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies used to enhance drug design and the translation of medicinal chemistry into the clinic
Mechanistic drug metabolism and regulation of metabolic enzyme gene expression
Chemistry patents relevant to the medicinal chemistry field.
