Discovery of Adamantyl Heterocyclic Ketones as Potent 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 Inhibitors
11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) plays a key role in converting intracellular cortisone to physiologically active cortisol, which is implicated in the development of several phenotypes of metabolic syndrome. Inhibition of 11β-HSD1 activity with selective inhibitors has beneficial effects on various conditions, including diabetes, dyslipidemia and obesity, and therefore constit...
متن کاملAdamantyl carboxamides and acetamides as potent human 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors
The modulation of 11β-HSD1 activity with selective inhibitors has beneficial effects on various metabolic disorders including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and obesity. Here we report the discovery of a series of novel adamantyl carboxamide and acetamide derivatives as selective inhibitors of human 11β-HSD1 in HEK-293 cells transfected with the HSD11B1 gene. Optimization based on an initiall...
متن کامل11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, brain atrophy and cognitive decline.
Excess cortisol levels are linked with brain atrophy and cognitive decline in older people. 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) potently amplifies intracellular glucocorticoid action by converting inert cortisone to active cortisol, but any causal importance in brain aging is unexplored. We tested the hypotheses that higher systemic 11β-HSD1 activity predicts brain atrophy and co...
متن کامل11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 and the Metabolic Syndrome
In the past few years, efforts are being made to unravel the mechanisms endowed with the metabolic disturbances associated with obesity that predispose to the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). The special pathogenic role of liver and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) functions has been particularly intriguing, and many hypotheses have been advanced to explain this association. Tissue-specific actions of...
متن کاملSelective Inhibitors of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 for Patients With Metabolic Syndrome
A n exciting era is upon us in terms of new therapies for patients with diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. One such advance is the ability to selectively manipulate tissue levels of glucocorticoids through targeted inhibition of cortisol metabolic pathways. Perhaps the best paradigm for metabolic syndrome comes from patients with Cushing’s syndrome, with their characteristic central obe...
