Target Information

15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH; HPGD) is the key enzyme for the inactivation of prostaglandins, and thus regulates processes such as inflammation or proliferation. The anabolic pathways of prostaglandins are well-characterized, especially with respect to regulation of the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. In comparison, little is known about downstream events, including functional interaction of prostaglandin-processing and metabolizing enzymes, as well as the function of prostaglandin receptors. ML149 (CID-2331284) is a potent and competitive HPGD inhibitor that is selective within the dehydrogenase family.

Activity

Summary activity statement /

ML149 (SID 87550716 CID 2331284) is a potent and selective inhibitor of HPDG (3rd chemotype series). This probe has been tested in > 459 assays, and thus far, have only been active in HPGD-related assays performed at NCGC. ML149 is also found inactive against a related dehydrogenases.

Summary /

Selectivity of the ML149 is determined. Two structurally related dehydrogenases were chosen as suitable anti-targets for characterizing selectivity of the probe series: HADH2 and HSD17β4. The third anti-target is an ALDH1A1 which shares some homology with HPGD.  ML147 is observed to be > 2000 fold, > 1000 fold, and > 1000 fold selective towards HPGD vs ALDH1A, HADH2, and HSD17beta4 respectively.

Summary /

ADME data shows this compound is cell permeable and has an efflux ratio of ~0.68. This suggests that this probe would be suitable tool compound with which to investigate the effects of HPGD in a cellular context.

In vitro activity - Thermal Shift Assay

Summary /

ML149 is observed to have a strong stabilization (which is expressed as the shift in the transition midpoint temperature (ΔTm)) in the presence of presence of NAD+ or NADH. Using a 384 well-based screen similar to the primary qHTS, an IC50 of 15.0nM was determined for the re synthesized ML149, while the purified re-purchased dry powder gave an IC50 of 9.3nM.

In vitro activity - Mechanism of Action

Summary /

Mechanism of action for ML148 is assessed using a  kinetic characterization in experiments with titration of the 15-PGDH substrate PGE2 and of co-subtrate NAD, respectively. The addition of the probe inhibitor at increasing concentrations to the substrate titration suggesting an uncompetitive inhibition for ML149.
