Previous studies have shown that inhibition of cortisol biosynthesis in skin leads to accelerated wound healing. Here, pyridylmethyl pyridine type 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) inhibitors were optimized for topical application to avoid systemic side effects. The resulting very potent, non-toxic CYP11B1 inhibitor 14 (IC = 0.8 nM) exhibited good selectivity over 11β-HSD1, CYP17A1 and CYP19A1. The compound showed high stability toward human plasma (t= > 150 min, as a substitute for wound fluid) and low stability toward HLS9 (t = 19 min) for rapid metabolic clearance after absorption. Compound 14 was able to accelerate wound healing in human skin.
先前的研究表明,抑制皮肤中皮质醇的生物合成可加速伤口愈合。在此,对吡啶基甲基吡啶型11β-羟化酶(CYP11B1)抑制剂进行了优化,以便局部应用,避免全身副作用。由此得到的非常有效的无毒CYP11B1抑制剂14(IC = 0.8 nM)对11β-HSD1、CYP17A1和CYP19A1表现出良好的选择性。该化合物对人血浆具有高稳定性(t = > 150分钟,作为伤口液体的替代物),而对HLS9具有低稳定性(t = 19分钟),以便吸收后快速代谢清除。化合物14能够加速人体皮肤的伤口愈合。
