Discovery and structural development of small molecules that enhance transport activity of bile salt export pump mutant associated with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2.
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry, 2012, May-01, Volume: 20, Issue:9

    Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) is caused by hereditary mutations of bile salt export pump (BSEP), such as E297G BSEP, which is a folding-defective mutant that is unable to traffic beyond the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) enhances the cell surface expression and transport capacity of E297G BSEP, but has a relatively high dose (1mM or more) is required to show the effect. Here, we show that bile acids possibly act as pharmacological chaperones, promoting the proper folding and trafficking of E297G BSEP. We also describe the discovery and structural development of non-steroidal compounds with potent pharmacological chaperone activity for E297G BSEP.
