Discovery of Novel Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) Agonists as Regulators of Chondrogenic Differentiation: Identification of Quinazolin-4(3 H)-ones and in Vivo Studies on a Surgically Induced Rat Model of Osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease characterized by joint destruction and loss of cartilage. There are many unmet needs in the treatment of OA and there are few promising candidates for disease-modifying OA drugs, particularly, anabolic agents. Here, we describe the identification of novel quinazolin-4(3 H)-one derivatives, which stimulate chondrocyte cartilage matrix production via TRPV4 and mitigate damaged articular cartilage. We successfully identified the water-soluble, highly potent quinazolin-4(3 H)-one derivative 36 and studied its intra-articular physicochemical profile to use in in vivo surgical OA model studies. Compound 36·HCl provided relief from OA damage in a rat medial meniscal tear (MT) model. Specifically, 36·HCl dose-dependently suppressed cartilage degradation and enhanced the messenger RNA expression of aggrecan and SOX9 in cartilage isolated from MT-operated rat knees compared with knees treated with vehicle. These results suggest that 36 induces anabolic changes in articular cartilage and consequently reduces OA progression.
