This condition causes night vision problems. It produces a typical 'fundus xerophthalmicus', featuring a progressed atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. Function RET4_HUMAN Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin, this prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. Publication Abstract from PubMed Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) is a plasma protein that transports retinol (vitamin A) from the liver to peripheral tissues. This Letter highlights our efforts in discovering the first, to our knowledge, non-retinoid small molecules that bind to RBP4 at the retinol site and reduce serum RBP4 levels in mice, by disrupting the interaction between RBP4 and transthyretin (TTR), a plasma protein that binds RBP4 and protects it from renal excretion. Potent compounds were discovered and optimized quickly from high-throughput screen (HTS) hits utilizing a structure-based approach. Inhibitor co-crystal X-ray structures revealed unique disruptions of RBP4-TTR interactions by our compounds through induced loop conformational changes instead of steric hindrance exemplified by fenretinide. When administered to mice, A1120, a representative compound in the series, showed concentration-dependent retinol and RBP4 lowering.
