Structure-Activity Relationships of Truncated 1′-Homologated Carbaadenosine Derivatives as New PPARγ/δ Ligands: A Study on Sugar Puckering Affecting Binding to PPARs

초록/요약

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are associated with the regulation of metabolic homeostasis. Based on a previous report that 1′-homologated 4′-thionucleoside acts as a dual PPARγ/δ modulator, carbocyclic nucleosides 2-5 with various sugar conformations were synthesized to determine whether sugar puckering affects binding to PPARs. (S)-conformer 2 was synthesized using Charette asymmetric cyclopropanation, whereas (N)-conformer 3 was synthesized using stereoselective Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation. All synthesized nucleosides did not exhibit binding affinity to PPARα but exhibited significant binding affinities to PPARγ/δ. The binding affinity of final nucleosides to PPARγ did not differ significantly based on their conformation, but their affinity to PPARδ depended greatly on their conformation, correlated with adiponectin production. (N)-conformer 3h was discovered to be the most potent PPARδ antagonist with good adiponectin production, which exhibited the most effective activity in inhibiting the mRNA levels of LPS-induced IL-1β expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages, implicating its anti-inflammatory activity. © 2023 American Chemical Society.
