Accumulating evidence has demonstrated a critical pathological role of oxysterol receptor GPR183 in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the currently reported GPR183 antagonists are very limited and not qualified for studies due to their inferior druglike properties. Herein, we conducted a structural elaboration focusing on improving its PK and safety profile based on a reference antagonist NIBR189. Of note, compound , bearing an aminobenzothiazole motif, exhibited reduced hERG inhibition, improved PK properties, and robust antagonistic activity (IC = 0.82 nM) with high selectivity against GPR183. Moreover, compound displayed strong antimigration and anti-inflammatory activity in monocytes. Oral administration of compound effectively improved the pathological symptoms of DSS-induced experimental colitis. All of these findings demonstrate that compound is a novel and promising GPR183 antagonist suitable for further investigation to treat IBD.

Determining the Relative Affinity of ORPs for Lipid Ligands Using Fluorescence and Thermal Shift Assays.

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are specialized proteins that convey specific lipids across the cytosol to regulate the lipid composition of organelles and the plasma membrane. Quantifying to which extent these LTPs recognize and transfer various lipid species and subspecies is of prime interest to define their cellular role(s). Here, we describe how to measure in vitro the relative affinity of Osh6p, a yeast phosphatidylserine (PS)/phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) exchanger belonging to the oxysterol-binding protein(OSBP)-related protein (ORP) family, for PS and phosphoinositide subspecies.

Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs) are a large family of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) in mammals. ORPs mediate the countertransport of two distinct lipids at membrane contact sites (MCSs). ORP10 is localized via binding to ORP9 at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-endosome MCSs, where it mediates countertransport of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and phosphatidylserine (PS).

Background: Many members of the oxysterol-binding protein-related protein (ORP) family have been characterized in detail over the past decades, but the lipid transport and other functions of ORP7 still remain elusive. What is known about ORP7 points toward an endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane-localized protein, which also interacts with GABA type A receptor-associated protein like 2 (GABARAPL2) and unlipidated Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B (LC3B), suggesting a further autophagosomal/lysosomal association. Functional roles of ORP7 have been suggested in cholesterol efflux, hypercholesterolemia, and macroautophagy.

Introduction: Oxysterol binding protein (OSBP)-related protein 5 (ORP5) mainly functions as a lipid transfer protein at membrane contact sites (MCS). ORP5 facilitates cell proliferation through the activation of mTORC1 signaling. While the pro-hypertrophic effects of mTORC1 are well-documented, the specific role of ORP5 in the context of pathological cardiac hypertrophy remains inadequately understood.
