Název v původním jazyce

Methylcarvones as immunomodulators through antagonism of aryl hydrocarbon receptor

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Monocyclic monoterpenoids have been demonstrated as atypical negative allosteric modulators of aryl hydrocarbon receptor AhR. The alkylation of the skeleton has been identified as a factor modulating the AhR antagonist activity of S -carvone. In the present study, we synthesized methylated derivatives of S -carvone, and a complex series of experimental approaches has been employed to characterize the interactions of novel compounds with AhR. Molecular docking to AhR carvone-binding site revealed binding energies for 6-methylated carvones superior to that of S -carvone. This prediction was corroborated by microscale thermophoresis, where 6-methylated carvones displayed stronger binding to AhR N-terminal region, as compared to S -carvone. Methylated carvones inhibited AhR transcriptional activity in vitro in cell lines, as revealed by reporter gene assay and RT-PCR. However, their effects were weaker than those predicted by molecular docking, which might be due to the transmembrane transport and metabolism. As a proof-of-concept, we show immunomodulatory effects of S -carvone and its methyl derivatives in the model of differentiated THP1 macrophages polarized into M1/M2 phenotypes.
