Popis: Fatostatin, a recently discovered small molecule that inhibits activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP), blocks biosynthesis and accumulation of fat in obese mice. The present study synthesized and evaluated a series of fatostatin derivatives. Our structure-activity relationships led to the identification of N-(4-(2-(2-propylpyridin-4-yl)thiazol-4-yl)phenyl)methanesulfonamide (24; FGH10019) as the most potent drug-like molecule among the analogs tested. Compound 24 has high aqueous solubility and membrane permeability, and may serve as a seed molecule for further development.
