Abstract: | AX10185, the phenyl amide of xanthurenic acid, was found to be a sub-100nM inhibitor of Lp-PLA(2). However, in the presence of EDTA the inhibitory activity of AX10185 was extinguished while the enzymatic activity of Lp-PLA(2) did not change. Subsequent metal screening experiments determined the inhibition to be Zn(2+) dependent. Structure-activity relationship studies indicated the presence of the 4-hydroxy group to be critical and selected substituted phenyl, polycyclic, and cycloaliphatic amides of xanthurenic acid to be well tolerated. |
