Matriptase-2, a type II transmembrane serine protease (TTSP), is expressed in the liver and regulates iron homeostasis via the cleavage of hemojuvelin. Matriptase-2 emerges as an attractive target for the treatment of conditions associated with iron overload, such as hemochromatosis or beta-thalassemia. Starting from the crystal structure of its closest homolog matriptase, we constructed a homology model of matriptase-2 in order to further optimize the selectivity of serine trap peptidomimetic inhibitors for matriptase-2 vs matriptase. Careful modifications of the P4, P3 and P2 positions with the help of unnatural amino acids led to a thorough understanding of Structure-Activity Relationship and a >60-fold increase in selectivity for matriptase-2 vs matriptase. Additionally, the introduction of unnatural amino acids led to significant increases in plasma stability. Such compounds represent useful pharmacological tools to test matriptase-2 inhibition in a context of iron overload.

We have developed a new class of diarylalkyl amides as novel TRPV1 antagonists. They exhibited potent 45Ca2+ uptake inhibitions in rat DRG neuron. In particular, the amide 59 was identified as a potent antagonist with IC50 of 57 nM. The synthesis and structure-activity relationship of the diarylalkyl amides are also described.
