Lysosomal enzymes are responsible for the degradation of a wide variety of glycolipids, oligosaccharides, proteins, and glycoproteins. Inherited mutations in the genes that encode these proteins can lead to reduced stability of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes. While often catalytically competent, the mutated enzymes are unable to efficiently pass the quality control mechanisms of the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in reduced lysosomal trafficking, substrate accumulation, and cellular dysfunction. Pharmacological chaperones (PCs) are small molecules that bind and stabilize mutant lysosomal enzymes, thereby allowing proper cellular translocation. Such compounds have been shown to increase enzyme activity and reduce substrate burden in a number of preclinical models and clinical studies. In this Perspective, we review several of the lysosomal diseases for which PCs have been studied and the SAR of the various classes of molecules.
溶酶体酶负责降解各种糖脂、寡糖、蛋白质和糖蛋白。编码这些蛋白质的基因突变会导致新合成的溶酶体酶稳定性降低。虽然突变酶通常具有催化能力,但它们无法有效地通过内质网的质量控制机制,导致溶酶体运输减少、底物积累和细胞功能障碍。药理学伴侣(PCs)是一种小分子,它可以与突变的溶酶体酶结合并稳定其结构,从而允许其正确的细胞转运。已经证明,这些化合物可以在许多临床前模型和临床研究中提高酶活性并降低底物负担。在本观点中,我们回顾了已研究过 PCs 的几种溶酶体疾病以及各种类别的分子的 SAR。
