Discovery of a potent orally available pyrazolopyridone derivative as a novel selective bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET)-first bromodomain (BD1) inhibitor.

Clinical studies have shown that inhibitors of bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins, particularly BRD4, have antitumor activity and efficacy. The BET protein has two domains, BD1 and BD2, and we previously focused on BD1 and reported orally bioavailable BD1-selective inhibitors. In this study, we obtained a BD1 inhibitor, a more potent and highly selective pyrazolopyridone derivative 13a, and confirmed its in vivo efficacy.

Discovery of a potent, orally available furopyridine derivative as a novel selective bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET)-first bromodomain (BD1) inhibitor.

We explored novel immunosuppressive agents with immune tolerance using a phenotypic drug discovery strategy, focusing on costimulatory molecules in T cells, and obtained triazolothienodiazepine derivatives. Their mechanism of action is to inhibit the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family, as we have previously reported. Selective inhibition of the first bromodomain (BD1) of the BET family is expected to exert antitumor and immunosuppressive effects, similar to BET inhibitors.

A phenotypic drug discovery study on thienodiazepine derivatives as inhibitors of T cell proliferation induced by CD28 co-stimulation leads to the discovery of a first bromodomain inhibitor.

A phenotypic screening of thienodiazepines derived from a hit compound found through a binding assay targeting co-stimulatory molecules on T cells and antigen presenting cells successfully led to the discovery of a thienotriazolodiazepine compound (7f) possessing potent immunosuppressive activity. A chemical biology approach has succeeded in revealing that 7f is a first inhibitor of epigenetic bromodomain-containing proteins. 7f is expected to become an anti-cancer agent as well as an immunosuppressive agent.

A consideration of the characteristics of ABR on the basis of a differential equation model and the estimation of parameters of its solution.

Today ABR ABR: Auditory B ainstem Responses) characteristics are widely and qualitatively used, and they ar e mainly used for clinical application of a consciousness obstacle, brain death and some consciousness level, vegetative state and so on, as the very useful inspection method. Until now, many various characteristics and models about these brain waves have been reported. But the theor ies and experiments of ABR are still more needed to understand the ABR characters in more details.
