We have developed a series of dihydroxy compounds and related analogues based on our hybrid D2/D3 agonist molecular template to develop multifunctional drugs for symptomatic and neuroprotective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). The lead compound (-)-24b (D-520) exhibited high agonist potency at D2/D3 receptors and produced efficacious activity in the animal models for PD. The data from thioflavin T (ThT) assay and from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis demonstrate that D-520 is able to modulate aggregation of alpha-synuclein (αSN). Additionally, coincubation of D-520 with αSN is able to reduce toxicity of preformed aggregates of αSN compared to control αSN alone. Finally, in a neuroprotection study with dopaminergic MN9D cells, D-520 clearly demonstrated the effect of neuroprotection from toxicity of 6-hydroxydopamine. Thus, compound D-520 possesses properties characteristic of multifunctionality conducive to symptomatic and neuroprotective treatment of PD.
基于我们的D2/D3混合型激动剂分子模板,我们开发了一系列二羟基化合物及相关类似物,以研制用于帕金森病(PD)症状性和神经保护治疗的多功能药物。先导化合物(-)-24b(D-520)在D2/D3受体上表现出高激动剂效力,并在PD动物模型中产生了有效的活性。硫黄素T(ThT)检测和透射电子显微镜(TEM)分析的数据表明,D-520能够调节α-突触核蛋白(αSN)的聚集。此外,与单独的对照αSN相比,D-520与αSN共同孵育能够降低αSN预形成聚集体的毒性。最后,在一项针对多巴胺能MN9D细胞的神经保护研究中,D-520清楚地证明了其对6-羟基多巴胺毒性的神经保护作用。因此,化合物D-520具有有利于PD症状性和神经保护治疗的多功能特性。
