Abstract
Introduction: Physiological and pathophysiological effects arising from detoxification of aldehydes in humans implicate the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) gene family comprising of 19 isoforms. The main function of this enzyme family is to metabolize reactive aldehydes to carboxylic acids. Dysregulation of ALDH activity has been associated with various diseases. Extensive research has since gone into studying ALHD isozymes, their structural biology and developing small-molecule inhibitors. Novel chemical strategies to enhance the selectivity of ALDH inhibitors have now appeared.
Areas covered: A comprehensive review of patent literature related to aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors in the last decade and half (2007-2022) is provided.
Expert opinion: Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is an important enzyme that metabolizes reactive exogenous and endogenous aldehydes in the body through NAD(P)±dependent oxidation. Hence this family of enzymes possess important physiological as well as toxicological roles in human body. Significant efforts in the field have led to potent inhibitors with approved clinical agents for alcohol use disorder therapy. Further clinical translation of novel compounds targeting ALDH inhibition will validate the promised therapeutic potential in treating many human diseases.The scientific/patent literature has been searched on SciFinder-n, Reaxys, PubMed, Espacenet and Google Patents. The search terms used were 'ALDH inhibitors', 'Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Inhibitors'.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents (ISSN 1354-3776 [print], 1744-7674 [electronic]) is a MEDLINE-indexed, peer-reviewed, international journal publishing review articles on recent pharmaceutical patent claims, providing expert opinion the scope for future development, in the context of the scientific literature.
The Editors welcome:
Reviews covering recent patent claims on compounds or applications with therapeutic potential, including biotherapeutics and small-molecule agents with specific molecular targets; and patenting trends in a particular therapeutic area
Patent Evaluations examining the aims and chemical and biological claims of individual patents
Perspectives on issues relating to intellectual property
The audience consists of scientists, managers and decision-makers in the pharmaceutical industry and others closely involved in R&D
