Yu, Yancheng; Yu, Quanwei; Liu, Simeng; Wu, Chenyang; Zhang, Xiaojin published an article in 2021. The article was titled 《Insight into the binding mode of HIF-2 agonists through molecular dynamic simulations and biological validation》, and you may find the article in European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.COA of Formula: C6H5Br2N The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Hypoxia-inducible factor-2 (HIF-2), a heterodimeric transcriptional protein consisting of HIF-2α and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) subunits, has a broad transcriptional profile that plays a vital role in human oxygen metabolism M1001, a HIF-2 agonist identified by high-throughput screening (HTS), is capable of altering the conformation of Tyr281 of the HIF-2α PAS-B domain and enhancing the affinity of HIF-2α and ARNT for transcriptional activation. M1002, an analog of M1001, shows improved efficacy than M1001. However, the cocrystal structure of M1001 and HIF-2 has some defects in revealing the agonist binding mode due to the relatively low resolution, while the binding mode of M1002 remained unexplored. To in-depth understand agonist binding profiles, herein, the mol. dynamic (MD) simulations was applied to construct a stable agonist-protein model, and a possible binding mode was proposed through the anal. of the binding free energy and hydrogen bonding of the simulation results. Nine compounds were then synthesized and evaluated to verify the proposed binding mode. Among them, compound 10 manifested improved agonistic activity and reduced toxicity compared to M1002. This study provides deep insight into the binding mode of such HIF-2 agonists, which would be useful for designing novel agonists for HIF-2. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 3,5-Dibromoaniline(cas: 626-40-4COA of Formula: C6H5Br2N)
3,5-Dibromoaniline(cas: 626-40-4) belongs to anime. Halogenation, in which one or more hydrogen atoms of an amine is replaced by a halogen atom, occurs with chlorine, bromine, and iodine, as well as with some other reagents, notably hypochlorous acid (HClO). With primary amines the reaction proceeds in two stages, producing N-chloro- and N,N-dichloro-amines, RNHCl and RNCl2, respectively. With tertiary amines, an alkyl group may be displaced by a halogen.COA of Formula: C6H5Br2N
