Abstract
Human relaxin-2 (relaxin, H2-RLX, RLN2), an endogenous hormone associated with mammalian pregnancy, and its cognate receptor relaxin family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1) have been implicated as important modulators of cardiovascular function and agonism of RXFP1 may potentially be utilized for the treatment of heart failure. Exploration of chemical space around previously reported anthranilamide 2 led to the discovery of lead compound 39 with significantly improved agonist activities toward human and rodent RXFP1. Compound 39 induced a dose-dependent heart rate increase in isoflurane-anesthetized naïve rats, which is consistent with the hemodynamic profile of relaxin in rat. Compound 39 also elicited significant interpubic ligament (IPL) expansion in C57BL/6 mouse, measured with microCT imaging, which recapitulated the effect of relaxin.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the multifaceted field of medicinal chemistry. Since its inception in 1959 as the Journal of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, it has evolved to become a cornerstone in the dissemination of research findings related to the design, synthesis, and development of therapeutic agents.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is recognized for its significant impact in the scientific community, as evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 7.3. This metric reflects the journal's influence and the importance of its content in shaping the future of drug discovery and development. The journal serves as a vital resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms of drug action and the optimization of therapeutic compounds.
