7WOX - PubMed Abstract:
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) antagonists are drug candidates for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis. Previously, we have designed and synthesized a series of substituted phenylalkynyl amide-type PPARγ antagonists. The representative compound, MMT-160, exhibited nanomolar-order PPARγ antagonistic activity. To understand the antagonistic mode of action of MMT-160, mass spectrometric and X-ray crystallographic analysis of MMT-160 in the presence of the PPARγ ligand binding domain (LBD) were performed. The mass spectrometry results clearly indicated that alkynyl amide-type PPARγ antagonists were covalently bound to the PPARγ LBD. The X-ray crystallographic analysis indicated that MMT-160 acted as a Michael acceptor and covalently bound to the PPARγ LBD via Cys285. In addition, MMT-160 bound to the PPARγ LBD with a binding mode that was different from the binding modes observed for PPARγ agonists and partial agonists.
