A series of highly potent indole-3-glyoxylamide based antiprion agents was previously characterized, focusing on optimization of structure-activity relationship (SAR) at positions 1-3 of the indole system. New libraries interrogating the SAR at indole C-4 to C-7 now demonstrate that introducing electron-withdrawing substituents at C-6 may improve biological activity by up to an order of magnitude, and additionally confer higher metabolic stability. For the present screening libraries, both the degree of potency and trends in SAR were consistent across two cell line models of prion disease, and the large majority of compounds showed no evidence of toxic effects in zebrafish. The foregoing observations thus make the indole-3-glyoxylamides an attractive lead series for continuing development as potential therapeutic agents against prion disease.

Sarah Baxendale, Anzar Asad, Nahal O. Shahidan, Giselle R. Wiggin, Tanya T. Whitfield

Summary: Adhesion GPCRs are important regulators of developmental processes, with Adgrg6 playing critical roles in zebrafish development and potential implications for human diseases. Recent studies have identified a conserved calcium-binding site within the extracellular region of the Adgrg6 receptor, crucial for its function. Homozygous zebrafish adgrg6 mutants have been effective in identifying candidate molecules for influencing signaling activity and rescuing mutant phenotypes, showing promise for future development as small molecule modulators of the Adgrg6 pathway.
