Abstract
Aminopeptidase A (APA) is a membrane-bound zinc metallopeptidase involved in the production of angiotensin III, one effector peptide of the brain renin-angiotensin system, making brain APA a relevant pharmacological target for the development of novel therapeutic treatments against hypertension and heart failure. The structure-based design of new APA inhibitors is described, based on previously developed thiol-containing inhibitors and APA crystal structure. Chemical synthesis, in vitro assessment against APA activity, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic profiling were performed, ultimately leading to a potent and selective APA inhibitor.
氨基肽酶 A(APA)是一种膜结合锌金属肽酶,参与脑肾素-血管紧张素系统效应肽之一血管紧张素 III 的生成,因此脑 APA 是开发高血压和心力衰竭新型疗法的相关药理学靶点。本文介绍了基于先前开发的含硫醇抑制剂和 APA 晶体结构设计的新型 APA 抑制剂。研究人员进行了化学合成、体外评估 APA 活性、药理学和药代动力学分析,最终研制出了一种强效且具有选择性的 APA 抑制剂。
