专利说明:
Aniline-Derived Ligands for the Thyroid Receptor < RTI ID = 0.0 > [2] The wide role of thyroid hormones in the regulation of metabolism in the body is well recognized, but the discovery and development of new specific agents to improve the treatment of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism is less common. It also limits the development of thyroid hormone agonists and antagonists for the treatment of other important clinical signs such as hypercholesterolemia, obesity and cardiac arrhythmia. [3] Thyroid hormones actually affect all somatic metabolism. At the normal level, these hormones maintain body weight, metabolic rate, body temperature and mood, and also affect serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. That is, hypothyroidism has weight gain, high levels of LDL cholesterol and depression. If hyperthyroidism is excessive, thyroid hormones lead to weight loss, overdosage, reduced serum LDL levels, cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, muscle weakness, osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and anxiety. [4] Thyroid hormones have recently been used as an alternative therapy for patients with hypothyroidism. Therapeutic methods using L-thyroxine restore the metabolic function to normal and include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (3,5,3 ', 5'-tetraiodo-L-thyronine or T 4 ) tree iodo Dottie Ronin (3,5,3'- tree iodo -L- T Ronin or T 3) it is possible to easily monitor the level of a routine serum measurements. However, alternative therapies are limited, especially for the elderly, because of the harmful effects of thyroid hormones. [5] In addition, if the adverse effects of thyroid hormones can be minimized or eliminated, some effects of thyroid hormones may be therapeutically useful in non-thyroid disorders. These potentially useful influences include weight loss, decreased serum LDL levels, improved depression, and stimulation of bone formation. Conventional attempts to use thyroid hormones to pharmacologically treat these disorders have been limited by the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, particularly cardiovascular toxicity. [6] The development of specific and selective thyroid hormone receptor agonists can lead to specific therapies for these common disorders while avoiding other toxicities of cardiovascular and natural thyroid hormones. Tissue-selective thyroid hormone agonists may be obtained by selective tissue uptake or excretion, local or local delivery, cell targeting through other ligands bound to the agonist, and targeting of the receptor subtype. Thyroid hormone receptor agonists, which selectively interact with the beta form of the thyroid hormone receptor, present a particularly interesting method of avoiding cardio-toxicity. [7] Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs), like other nuclear receptors, are a single polypeptide chain. Various receptor forms are believed to be products of two different genes a and b. Another difference in isoform is that two or more homozygotes are generated from each gene as a result of different RNA processing. TRα 1 , TRβ 1 and TRβ 2 homozygotes bind to thyroid hormones and act as ligand-regulated transcription factors. In adults, the TRβ 1 polymorph copper is the predominant form in most tissues, especially liver and muscle. The TRα 2 polymorph is predominantly copper in the pituitary and other parts of central nervous system, and does not bind thyroid hormones, and acts as a transcription suppressor in various environments. In addition, even though the level of the TRα 1 East TRβ shape generally lower than the level of the first dynamic clamping and, TRα 1 building shape is widely distributed. This homozygote can be particularly important for development. Many mutations are found in the TRβ gene and a generalized resistance to thyroid hormone is induced, but mutations that impair TRα function have not been found. [8] Growing body of data that is the heart, in particular, while many or most effects of thyroid hormones on the heart rate simbaksugwa is mediated through the type of α- TRα 1 copper shapes, for example the liver, most of the hormone to the muscles and other tissues The action is mediated through the β-form of the receptor. Thus, TR-beta-selective agonists can not elicit effects on the heart rate and heart rate of the hormone, but will lead to many other actions of the hormone. It is believed that the [alpha] -form of the receptor is a major driving force for heart rate for the following reasons: [9] 1) Atrial tachycardia is a very common symptom of generalized resistance to thyroid hormones with deficiencies in the TR beta form and a high circulating level of T 4 and T 3 ; [10] 2) The atrial tachycardia is only present in patients with double deletion of the TRβ gene (Takeda et al., J. Clin. Endrocrinol. & Metab. 1992, Vol. [11] 3) Rats with a knockout TRα gene (but not a β-gene) are slower to beat than control rats; [12] 4) Weston blot analysis of human myocardial TRs are non TRβ 1, it seems that the TRα 1, TRα 2 and TRβ 2 exists. [13] If these indications are correct, TRβ-selective agonists can be used to mimic the action of multiple thyroid hormones while less affecting the heart. Such compounds include (1) alternative therapies for older patients with hypothyroidism at risk for cardiovascular complications; (2) alternative therapy for asymptomatic hypothyroidism in elderly patients at risk for cardiovascular complications; (3) obesity; (4) hypercholesterolemia due to elevated levels of plasma LDL; (5) depression, and (6) osteoporosis inhibitors.
