主 题:apoptosis inducer BAX activation Bcl-2 inhibition protein-protein interaction small-molecule in-hibitor
摘 要:Organic compounds containing the thiazol-2-yl-lH-pyrazol-5(4H)-one moiety are known to be associated with versatile pharmacological applications. In this study, we describe the methods for preparing 4-(2-phenylhydrazono)- l-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one compounds. A set of 26 compounds were synthesized with overall yields ranging between 37%-92%. They were tested in a fluorescence polarization-based binding assay against three anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, including Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, and Mcl-1. Our results indicate that this class of compounds are not effective inhibitors of these anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. Their apoptosis-inducing ef- fects are possibly due to BAX activation as suggested by Gavathiotis et al. in their recent study. However, other possibilities should not be ignored. In addition, a crystal structure obtained by us reveals that the exocyclic double bond in the molecular structure of this class of compounds is in the (Z)-configuration.
