| Research Abstract |
Five aldo-keto reductases (AKR1C1, AKR1C3, AKR1C21, AKR1B1 andAKR1B10) are regarded as both diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in the treatment of several types of cancer. We searched inhibitors of the enzymes, investigated selectivity determinants of the inhibitor-binding to the enzymes, and synthesized potent and selective inhibitors. (1) AKR1C1 inhibitor: Potent salicylic acid-based inhibitorswere synthesized based on the crystal structure of the enzyme. (2) AKR1C3 inhibitor: Among the inhibitors found, tolfenamic acid and baccharin were the most potent and selective inhibitors, respectively. A baccharin derivative with high inhibitory potency and selectivity was synthesized. (3) AKR1C21 inhibitor: Cholanic acid and its derivatives were found to be potent inhibitors. (4) AKR1B1 inhibitor: A selective and potent inhibitorwas synthesized based on the structure of an alkaloid rhetsinine. (4) AKR1B10 inhibitor:Some drugs (such as mefenamic acid) and natural products (mangostin, oleanolic acid,caffeic acid phenethyl ester) were found to be selective inhibitors. A caffeic acid phenethyl ester derivative with high inhibitory potency and selectivity was synthesized.
