Treatment of diseases of oxidative stress through activation of the antioxidant nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is limited by systemic side effects. We chemically functionalize the NRF2 activator monomethyl fumarate to require Baeyer-Villiger oxidation for release of the active drug at sites of oxidative stress. This prodrug reverses chronic pain in mice with reduced side effects and could be applied to other disorders of oxidative stress.
通过激活抗氧化剂核因子E2相关因子2(NRF2)来治疗氧化应激相关疾病受到全身副作用的限制。我们对NRF2激活剂富马酸单甲酯进行化学官能化,使其需要通过拜耳-维利格氧化反应才能在氧化应激部位释放活性药物。这种前药可减轻副作用,逆转小鼠的慢性疼痛,并且可能适用于其他氧化应激相关疾病。
