Autotaxin (ATX) is an autocrine motility factor that promotes cancer cell invasion, cell migration, and angiogenesis. ATX, originally discovered as a nucleotide phosphodiesterase, is known now to be responsible for the lysophospholipid-preferring phospholipase D activity in plasma. As such, it catalyzes the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from lysophophatidylcholine (LPC). ATX is thus an attractive drug target; small molecular inhibitors might be efficacious in slowing the spread of cancers. With this study we have generated a series of beta-keto and beta-hydroxy phosphonate derivatives of LPA, some of which are potent ATX inhibitors.
自分泌运动因子(ATX)是一种自分泌运动因子,可促进癌细胞侵袭、细胞迁移和血管生成。ATX最初被发现是一种核苷酸磷酸二酯酶,现在已知它负责血浆中偏好溶血磷脂的磷脂酶D活性。因此,它催化溶血磷脂酰胆碱(LPC)生成溶血磷脂酸(LPA)。因此,ATX是一个有吸引力的药物靶点;小分子抑制剂可能对减缓癌症扩散有效。通过这项研究,我们合成了一系列LPA的β-酮和β-羟基膦酸酯衍生物,其中一些是有效的ATX抑制剂。
