New discoveries in chemical research and development in 2021. As an important bridge between the micro, chemistry is one of the main methods and means for humans to understand and transform the material world. In an article, author is Yoneyama-Hirozane, Mariko, once mentioned the application of 423-39-2, Name: Perfluorobutyliodide, category is benzoxazole. Now introduce a scientific discovery about this category.
Ghrelin O-acyl transferase (GOAT; MBOAT4) catalyzes O-acylation at serine-3 of des-acyl ghrelin. Acyl ghrelin is secreted by stomach X/A-like cells and plays a role in appetite and metabolism. Therefore, GOAT has been expected to be a novel antiobesity target because it is responsible for acyl ghrelin production. Here, we report homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods utilizing human GOAT-expressing microsomes as a novel high-throughput assay system for the discovery of hit compounds and optimization of lead compounds. Hit compounds exemplified by compound A (2-[(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)sulfanyl]-1,3-benzoxazole-5-carboxylic acid) were identified by high-throughput screening using the HTRF assay and confirmed to have GOAT inhibitory activity using the ELISA. Based on the hit compound information, the novel lead compound (compound B, (4-chloro-6-{[2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl]methoxy}-1-benzothiophen-3-yl)acetic acid) was synthesized and exhibited potent GOAT inhibition with oral bioavailability. Both the hit compound and lead compound showed octanoyl-CoA competitive inhibitory activity. Moreover, these two compounds decreased acyl ghrelin production in the stomach of mice after their oral administration. These novel findings demonstrate that GOAT is a druggable target, and its inhibitors are promising antiobesity drugs.
