Biochem/physiol Actions

AZD5904 (TX4) is an orally active 2-thioxanthine class suicide substrate that targets myeloperoxidase (MPO) for mechanism-based inactivation, covalently modifying MPO heme group without converting the enzyme to compound II. AZD5904 effectively inhibits peroxide-induced human MPO chlorination activity (IC50 = 0.2 μM) and extracellular MPO activity in PMA-stimulated human neutrophil cultures (by 68% at 1 μM). Oral administration (20-180 μmol/kg) of the racemate (TX3) is efficacious in reducing inflammation site MPO activity in mice in vivo with 10- to 19-fold selectivity over lactoperoxidase (LPO), thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and >70-fold selectivity over a panel of other enzymes, ion channels, and receptors.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and disarray, and myocardial stiffness due to interstitial fibrosis, which result in impaired left ventricular filling and diastolic dysfunction. The latter manifests as exercise intolerance, angina, and dyspnoea. There is currently no

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a prime candidate for promoting oxidative stress during inflammation. This abundant enzyme of neutrophils uses hydrogen peroxide to oxidize chloride to highly reactive and toxic chlorine bleach. We have identified 2-thioxanthines as potent mechanism-based inactivators of MPO.

The leukocyte-derived heme enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) is released extracellularly during inflammation and impairs nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability by directly oxidizing NO or producing NO-consuming substrate radicals. Here, structurally diverse pharmacological agents with activities as MPO substrates/inhibitors or antioxidants were screened

A growing body of evidence indicates that neutrophils are the first major leukocyte population accumulating inside the pancreas even before the onset of a lymphocytic-driven impairment of functional beta cells in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). In humans, pancreata from
