Description
Summary:[Display omitted] Dysfunction or progressive degeneration of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) contributes in the initial pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causing irreversible vision loss, which makes RPE the prime target of the disease. The present study aimed to identify compounds to protect 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)-induced RPE cell death by inhibiting NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) activity, not just as free radical scavengers, using ARPE-19, a human adult retinal pigment epithelial cell line, as a RPE representative. Novel thirty-two 6-ureido/thioureido-2,4,5-trimethylpyridin-3-ol derivatives 17 were synthesized and tested. We found that there was a strong correlation between level of protective effect of compounds 17 against 4-HNE-induced APRE-19 cell death and that of inhibitory activity against 4-HNE-induced superoxide production, and that most of the compounds 17 showed minimal DPPH radical scavenging activity. Compound 17–28 showed the best protective activity against 4-HNE-induced superoxide production (79.5% inhibition) and cell death (85.1% recovery) at 10 μM concentration, which was better than that of VAS2870, a NOX2/4 inhibitor. In addition, compound 17–28 blocked 4-HNE-induced apoptosis of ARPE-19 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The results indicate that compound 17–28 may be a lead compound to develop AMD therapeutics.
