1-Phenyl-4-benzoyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles as Orally Bioavailable Transcriptional Function Suppressors of Estrogen-Related Receptor 伪
文摘
Estrogen-related receptor 伪 is a potential candidate target for therapeutic treatment of breast cancer. We describe the discovery and structure鈥揳ctivity relationship study of a series of 1-phenyl-4-benzoyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles as novel suppressors of ERR伪 transcriptional functions. The most promising compound, 2-aminophenyl-(1-(3-isopropylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methanone (14n), potently suppressed the transcriptional functions of ERR伪 with IC50 = 0.021 渭M in a cell-based reporter gene assay and also decreased both the mRNA levels and the protein levels of ERR伪 and the downstream targets. This compound inhibited the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells with high level of ERR伪. Preliminary pharmacokinetic studies suggested that it possessed a good pharmacokinetic profile with an oral bioavailability of 71.8%. The compounds may serve as novel small molecule probes for further validation of ERR伪 as a molecular target for anticancer drug development.
