Abstract:

This study demonstrates the structure-activity relationship of Col-003, a potent collagen-heat-shock protein 47 (Hsp47) interaction inhibitor. Col-003 analogues were successfully synthesized by Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde derivatives with alkyl-metal species, and the inhibitory activities of the synthetic analogues were evaluated using surface plasmon resonance analysis (BIAcore). We succeeded in discovering two potent inhibitors that showed 85 and 81% inhibition at a concentration of 1.9 µM against the collagen-Hsp47 interaction. This indicates that elongation of an alkyl linker between two aromatic rings could considerably improve inhibitory activity due to the adjustment of a pendant phenyl moiety to an appropriate position, in addition to the hydrophobic interaction with an alkyl linker moiety.
