Identification and Characterization of a New Series of Ghrelin O-Acyl Transferase Inhibitors
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.
