摘要
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) is a serine lipase that is associated with low density lipoprotein (LDL) in human plasma. Substrates include oxidised phosphatidylcholine (PC), which is hydrolysed by Lp-PLA(2) to lyso-PC and oxidised fatty acids. Both products are bioactive and proinflammatory, and implicated in monocyte infiltration into the developing plaque, deposition of foam cells, and plaque progression and instability. Lp-PLA(2) has recently been shown to be a risk factor for coronary events in previously asymptomatic, hypercholesterolaemic men. A series of azetidinones was designed as potent and selective inhibitors of this enzyme; SB-222657 inhibited release of the chemotactic cleavage products from oxidised LDL, and SB-244323 reduced atherosclerotic plaque development in a 3 month rabbit study. A series of pyrimidones has been designed from a screening hit, and nanomolar inhibitors identified. Oral efficacy in inhibiting plasma Lp-PLA(2) in rabbits has been demonstrated with a variety of structural classes. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
