Novel synthetic RORγ agonist compounds as a potential anti-tumor therapeutic approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Selective enhancement (or activation) of the immune system by novel small molecules may be a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer. RORgt (Retinoic Acid Receptor-related orphan receptor) is the key transcription factor for the development of CD4 Th17 cells, CD8 Tc17 cells and IL-17 innate immune cells including gδ T cells. A member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, RORg modulates the expression of cytokines, chemokines and their receptors to induce a pro-inflammatory environment. RORg can interact with other lineage-associated transcription factors resulting in developmental plasticity which reinforces immunity and limits immunosuppressive mechanisms. These activities suggest that the activation of RORg may enhance anti-tumor immune responses and Th17 and Tc17 cells have been reported to have potent anti-tumor effects in vivo.

Synthetic RORγ agonists regulate multiple pathways to enhance antitumor immunity
RORγt is the key transcription factor controlling the development and function of CD4+ Th17 and CD8+ Tc17 cells. Across a range of human tumors, about 15% of the CD4+ T cell fraction in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are RORγ+ cells. To evaluate the role of RORγ in antitumor immunity, we have identified synthetic, small molecule agonists that selectively activate RORγ to a greater extent than t...

The glycosylation of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones has been performed with peracetylated β-pyranosyl bromide in the presence of potassium carbonate. Deprotection of acetylated thioglycosides was necessary for increasing their antibacterial effects. The structure of nucleosides were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. The anomeric protons of nucleosides c1–4 were assigned to the doublet, confirm...

متن کاملNovel Approach Synthesis, Molecular Docking and Cytotoxic Activity Evaluation of N-phenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide Derivatives as Anticancer Agents
Dichloroacetate (DCA) as a small, cheap and available anticancer agent, is a pyruvate mimetic compound that stimulates the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) enzyme through inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDHK1-4). DCA turns on programed cell death (apoptosis) which suppressed in tumor cells and therefore inhibits tumor growth. DCA also interferes with the glucose uses of ca...
متن کاملTwo Novel Compounds with Tri-aryl Structures as Effective Anti-Breast Cancer Candidates In-vivo
Prognosis of metastatic breast cancer is very poor which urges the necessity to develop novel potential drug candidates. We assessed two compounds with tri-aryl structures (A and B) for their potency to reduce primary breast tumor growth and lung metastasis in 4T1 mice model. MTT assay, 4T1 mammary mouse model and immunohistochemistry experiments were used in this study. In vitro results exhibi...
