Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of amide imidazole derivatives as novel metabolic enzyme CYP26A1 inhibitors.

Abstract:

:All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) as a physiological metabolite of vitamin A is widely applied in the treatment of cancer, skin, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases. CYP26A1 enzyme, induced by ATRA in liver and target tissues, metabolizes ATRA into 4-hydroxyl-RA. Inhibition of CYP26A1 metabolic enzyme represents a promising strategy for discovery of new specific anticancer agents. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of new amide imidazole derivatives as retinoic acid metabolism blocking agents (RAMBAs) toward CYP26A1 enzyme. First, based on the recent theoretical models (Sun et al., J. Mol. Graph. Model., 2015, 56, 10-19) a series of RAMBAs with novel scaffolds were designed using fragment-based drug discovery approach. Subsequently, the new RAMBAs were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. All the compounds demonstrated appropriate enzyme activities and cell activities. The promising inhibitors 20 and 23 with IC50 value of 0.22 μM and 0.46 μM toward CYP26A1, respectively, were further evaluated for CYP selectivity and the metabolic profile of ATRA. Both compounds 20 and 23 showed higher selectivity for CYP26A1 over other CYPs (CYP2D6, CYP3A4) when compared to liarozole. They also showed better inhibitory activities for the metabolism of ATRA when also compared to liarozole. These studies further validated the pharmacophore and structure-activity relationship models obtained about CYP26A1 inhibitors and highlighted the promising activities of the new series of CYP26A1 inhibitors designed from such models. They also paved the way for future development of those candidates as potential drugs.
