Discovery of New Selective Glucocorticoid Receptor Agonist Leads
Structural highlights
DiseaseGCR_HUMAN Defects in NR3C1 are a cause of glucocorticoid resistance (GCRES) [MIM:138040; also known as cortisol resistance. It is a hypertensive, hyperandrogenic disorder characterized by increased serum cortisol concentrations. Inheritance is autosomal dominant.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] FunctionGCR_HUMAN Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE), both for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and as a modulator of other transcription factors. Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Could act as a coactivator for STAT5-dependent transcription upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation and could reveal an essential role of hepatic GR in the control of body growth. Involved in chromatin remodeling. Plays a significant role in transactivation.[6] Publication Abstract from PubMedWe report on the discovery of two new lead series for the development of glucocorticoid receptor agonists. Firstly, the discovery of tetrahydronaphthalenes led to metabolically stable and dissociated compounds. Their binding mode to the glucocorticoid receptor could be elucidated through an X-ray structure. Closer inspection into the reaction path and analyses of side products revealed a new amino alcohol series also addressing the glucocorticoid receptor and demonstrating strong anti-inflammatory activity in vitro.
