Effects of AF3442 [N-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide], a novel inhibitor of human microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1, on prostanoid biosynthesis in human monocytes in vitro. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 inhibition in cardiovascular inflammatory disease. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Mice lacking mPGES-1 exhibit blunted natriuretic response paralleled with remarkably suppressed nitric oxide production, leading to salt-sensitive hypertension. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
However, we found that mPGES-1 deficiency was associated with a disorganized vascular pattern within primary adenomas as determined by CD31 immunostaining. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The potential efficacy of selective inhibition of mPGES-1 in preventing or retarding aneurysm formation warrants further investigation.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Male mice deficient in both mPGES-1 and LDLR (mPGES-1(-/-) LDLR(-/-)) and littermate LDLR(-/-) mice were initiated on a high-fat diet at 6 months of age, followed 1 week later by continuous infusion of angiotensin II (1 microg/kg per minute) for an additional 4 weeks. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Indeed, the failure of PGES? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
EAE is less severe in mice that lack the microsomal PGE synthase 1 (MPGES-1) gene that codes for the enzyme that synthesizes PGE2 from COX-derived PGH2 [40]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Inhibitors of microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1) are being developed for relief of pain and interest has focused on their potential impact on the cardiovascular system. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Pain relief seems likely to be a nuanced indication for mPGES-1 inhibitors, but they have therapeutic potential in syndromes of cardiovascular inflammation, cancer and perhaps in neurodegenerative disease. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We conclude that licofelone suppresses inflammatory PGE(2) formation preferentially by inhibiting mPGES-1 at concentrations that do not affect COX-2, implying an attractive and thus far unique molecular pharmacological dynamics as inhibitor of COX-1, the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, and of mPGES-1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Selective inhibition of mPGES-1 will allow for intact baseline PGE2 production as well as intact production of other PG important for muscle regeneration and, ultimately, constitute a more preferable anti-inflammatory treatment than the currently used systemic GCs. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We conclude that licofelone suppresses inflammatory PGE(2) formation preferentially by inhibiting mPGES-1 at concentrations that do not affect COX-2, implying an attractive and thus far unique molecular pharmacological dynamics as inhibitor of COX-1, the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, and of mPGES-1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Selective inhibition of pro-inflammatory prostaglandin (PG)E(2) formation via microsomal PGE(2) synthase-1 (mPGES-1) might be superior over inhibition of all cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived products by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and coxibs. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Ethyl 2-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-benzo[g]indole-3-carboxylate (compound 7a) inhibits human mPGES-1 in a cell-free assay (IC(50)=0.6 microM) as well as in intact A549 cells (IC(50)=2 microM), and suppressed PGE(2) pleural levels in rat carrageenan-induced pleurisy. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Together, based on the select and potent inhibition of mPGES-1 and 5-lipoxygenase, benzo[g]indol-3-carboxylates possess potential as novel anti-inflammatory drugs with a valuable pharmacological profile. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Based on that background two different approaches were pursued in the search for GI sparing NSAIDs: a) modification of classical NSAIDs by associating them with phospholipids, cyclodextrins, or chemical moieties that release gastroprotective mediators and b) defining novel targets as well as developing new compounds like dual COX/5-LO or mPGES-1 inhibitors. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Progress in designing molecules that can selectively inhibit mPGES-1 is reviewed. | |||||||||||||||
