| Popis: | We describe how a single intraperitoneal injection of an indoline-derived drug (SN 28127) reduced mouse body weight (25–45% loss) and adipose tissue mass (∼75%). The reductions in body weight peaked at ∼21–28 days post drug injection and were maintained throughout the study (160 days). The mice ate as much as vehicle-treated control mice. A more potent SN 28127 analog (SN 29220) reversed high-fat diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetes in C57BL/6J mice on a high-fat diet. Insulin induced a sustained reduction in blood glucose in fasted SN 29220-treated mice compared with the vehicle-treated mice. All drug-treated mice exhibited a transient increase in water intake from ∼10 days post drug injection that lasted for ∼70 days. Following a single injection of 3H-labeled SN 29220, radioactivity accumulated within 4 h in the liver, bile duct and ileum with little detected in the brain; within 1–2 days, most of the radioactivity was found in the pancreas, spleen, liver, bile duct, stomach, kidneys and white adipose tissue. High levels of glucose were detected in urine collected from SN 29220 but not vehicle-treated C57BL/6J mice at ∼60 days post injection, while fecal triacylglycerols and cholesterol were not different between SN 29220 and vehicle-treated mice. These data lead us to hypothesize that the hepatic system is the primary drug target. Genes involved in fatty acid synthesis (FASn, SCD1 and PPARγ) and appetite stimulation (AGRP) were upregulated at 160 days post drug treatment, indicative of adaptation to reduced body weight. We hypothesize that indoline-derived drug-induced chronic toxicity to the hepatic system leads to a reduction in white adipose tissue mass. The mice adapt to this drug-induced toxicity with reduced steady-state body weight. Understanding molecular mechanisms underlying these responses has potential to identify novel targets for prevention and treatment of obesity. |
