Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Met is a membrane receptor tyrosine kinase involved in liver regeneration and tissue repair. Based on the structures of the candidate low molecular weight compounds of Met stimulator obtained so far, we designed and synthesized new compounds with lower toxicity, and confirmed their Met stimulating activity on cells. In addition, through the investigation of the relationship between the molecular structure and Met stimulating activity, it was confirmed that the dimethyl-amino group in the side chain is important for the expression of activity. Currently, we are trying to further improve the structure from the viewpoint of in silico drug designing for practical use.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究において、in silico創薬(コンピュータを用いた薬剤デザイン)に構造-活性解析の観点を加えることにより、薬剤活性と結合部位の関係が徐々に明らかになってきている。合成された低分子Met Stimulatorが、標的分子であるMetを活性化し生物学的機能を十分に発揮することが証明できれば、本研究が今後の新薬開発に向けての重要なステップを示したことになる。
