Although early prostate cancer responds to androgen ablation, most tumors eventually recur as hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC). Recent advances have identified many abnormal signaling pathways that contribute to the development of HRPC, mainly including dysregulation of androgen receptor (AR) function and the over- expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins, Bcl-2/Bcl-xL. It was found that thiazolidinediones (TZD), which include the anti-diabetic agents troglitazone, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone and ciglitazone, possess anti-tumor activity. It has been revealed that the anti-tumor activity of the TZDs could be attributed to PPARγ- independent mechanisms including Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibition and AR transcriptional repression. The objective of this dissertation is to further modify the TZD structures to enhance anti-prostate cancer activity by targeting the dysregulated Bcl-2/Bcl-xL and AR signaling pathways. Directed by method of molecular modeling, over 50 troglitazone derivatives have been designed and synthesized in two stages, yielding the optimal compound HepCNCF3, which showed two orders of magnitude improvement in Bcl-xL/Bcl-2 inhibition ii compared to troglitazone. Results from molecular modeling, Western blotting assay and co-immunoprecipitation assay confirmed the inhibitory effects of HepCNCF3 on Bcl- 2/Bcl-xL and its function of apoptosis induction at low micromolar level in prostate cancer cells. The effects of ciglitazone on transcriptional repression of AR have been verified, and as a lead compound, ciglitazone possessed advantages of simpler molecular and stronger potency compared to troglitazone. Partly aided by method of focused-library solid-phase combinatorial chemistry, three stages of optimization have been performed based on ciglitazone. Out of totally approximately 150 new derivatives, the optimal compounds such as CG12, CC5 and CC22 showed one order of magnitude improvement in AR repression and cytotoxicity in LNCaP cells than ciglitazone. The optimized activites of these compounds have been confirmed in AR reporter gene luciferase assay, Western blotting assay and flow-cytometry analysis. Overall, through comprehensive methods of computer-based design, ligand-based design and solid-phase combinatorial chemistry, several promising agents targeting on the abnormalities in prostate cancer, particularly in HRPC, have been successfully developed and their effects of Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibition or AR ablation have been validated. iii Dedicated to my grandparents, my parents, and especially my wife Yanhui and my daughter Alisa iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to give special thanks to my advisor, Dr. Ching-shih Chen for his guidance, encouragement, support and patience.

  • Stimulatory Action of Telmisartan, an Antagonist of Angiotensin II Receptor, on Voltage-Gated Na+ Current: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
    Chinese Journal of Physiology 61(1): 1-13, 2018 1 DOI: 10.4077/CJP.2018.BAG516 Stimulatory Action of Telmisartan, an Antagonist of Angiotensin II Receptor, on Voltage-Gated Na+ Current: Experimental and Theoretical Studies Tzu-Tung Chang, Chia-Jung Yang, Yu-Chi Lee, and Sheng-Nan Wu Department of Physiology, National Cheng Kung University Medical College, Tainan 70101, Taiwan, Republic of China Abstract Telmisartan (Tel) is recognized as a non-peptide blocker of AT1R. Whether this agent has any direct effects on ion currents remains unexplored. In whole-cell current recordings, addition of Tel + increased the peak amplitude of voltage-gated Na (NaV) current (INa) accompanied by the increased time constant of INa inactivation in differentiated NSC-34 motor neuron-like cells. Tel-stimulated INa in these cells is unlinked to either blockade of AT1R or activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). In order to explore how this compound affects the amplitude and kinetics of INa in neurons, a Hodgkin-Huxley-based (HH-based) model designed to mimic effect of Tel on the functional activities of neurons was computationally created in this study. In this framework, the parameter for h inactivation gating variable, which was changed in a stepwise fashion, was implemented + + to predict changes in membrane potentials (V) as a function of maximal Na (GNa), K conductance (GK), or both. As inactivation time course of INa was increased, the bifurcation point of V versus GNa became lower, and the range between subcritical and supercritical values at the bifurcation of V versus GK correspondingly became larger.

Received: 22 June 2018; Accepted: 24 July 2018; Published: 27 July 2018 Abstract: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a well-known pharmacological target for the treatment of multiple diseases, including diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases and even primary biliary cholangitis, gout, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The three PPAR isoforms (α, β/δ and γ) have emerged as integrators of glucose and lipid metabolic signaling networks. Typically, PPARα is activated by fibrates, which are commonly used therapeutic agents in the treatment of dyslipidemia. The pharmacological activators of PPARγ include thiazolidinediones (TZDs), which are insulin sensitizers used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), despite some drawbacks. In this review, we summarize 84 types of PPAR synthetic ligands introduced to date for the treatment of metabolic and other diseases and provide a comprehensive analysis of the current applications and problems of these ligands in clinical drug discovery and development.
