Abstract

A novel class of phenylpyrazole fused Wieland–Miescher ketone derivatives are high affinity, receptor specific, selective modulators of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mediated transcription in vitro, dissociating transactivation, AP-1 repression, and NF-κB repression from each other.

      A great deal of enzymes, such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxy kinase (PEPCK) involved in gluconeogenesis and tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) of protein catabolism, are regulated by the GREs and may conduce to some of the GCs metabolic action [34,39]. There are three distinct types of GREs, namely simple, composite, and tethering [40]. Genes transcription activation stimulated by GR through simple and composite GREs are relied on the combination of the activated GR homodimer and DNA directly [41].

      Nevertheless, glucocorticoids are also infamous for adverse metabolic side effects associated with the chronic administration required to treat these diseases effectively. For approximately two decades, great efforts have been made to identify and develop for clinical use selective GR ligands that dissociate beneficial anti-inflammatory effects from adverse metabolic effects of glucocorticoids (8–11), but unfortunately with little success. Another possible approach to this problem may be offered by coregulators, which have been shown to function in a gene-specific manner with GR and other transcription factors and, therefore, may represent potential targets for combination therapy to accompany the use of classical anti-inflammatory steroids such as dex.
