Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and liver X receptor alpha (LXRalpha) have been linked to the regulation of these processes. It remains to be identified how activation of these receptors is connected and regulated by endogenous lipid molecules. We identified CYP27, a p450 enzyme, as a link between retinoid, PPARgamma, and LXR signaling. We show that the human CYP27 gene is under coupled regulation by retinoids and ligands of PPARs via a PPAR-retinoic acid receptor response element in its promoter. Induction of the enzyme's expression results in an increased level of 27-hydroxycholesterol and upregulation of LXR-mediated processes. Upregulated CYP27 activity also leads to LXR-independent elimination of CYP27 metabolites as an alternative means of cholesterol efflux. Moreover, human macrophage-rich atherosclerotic lesions have an increased level of retinoid-, PPARgamma-, and LXR- regulated gene expression and also enhanced CYP27 levels. Our findings suggest that nuclear receptor-regulated CYP27 expression is likely to be a key integrator of retinoic acid receptor-PPARgamma-LXR signaling, relying on natural ligands and contributing to lipid metabolism in macrophages}, language = {en} } @article{BelasriTopalHeydenreichetal.2020, author = {Belasri, Khadija and Topal, Leila and Heydenreich, Matthias and Koch, Andreas and Kleinpeter, Erich and Fulop, Ferenc and Szatmari, Istvan}, title = {Synthesis and conformational analysis of naphthoxazine-fused phenanthrene derivatives}, series = {Molecules}, volume = {25}, journal = {Molecules}, number = {11}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1420-3049}, doi = {10.3390/molecules25112524}, pages = {15}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The synthesis of new phenanthr[9,10-e][1,3]oxazines was achieved by the direct coupling of 9-phenanthrol with cyclic imines in the modified aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction followed by the ring closure of the resulting bifunctional aminophenanthrols with formaldehyde.

For intermediates 2a-f, prepared by the reactions of substituted aminonaphthols with benzyl N-(2-formylphenyl)carbamate, not only the expected trans ring form B and chain form A(1), but also the rearranged chain form A(2) as a new tautomer were detected in DMSO at room temperature. The quantity of A(2) in the tautomeric mixture was changed with time. Conformational analyses of the target heterocycles 3a-f by NMR spectroscopy and accompanying theoretical calculations at the DFT level of theory revealed that the oxazine ring preferred a twisted chair conformation and the quinazolone ring was planar. Besides the conformations, both the configurations at C-7a and C-15 and the preferred rotamers of the 1-naphthyl substituent at C-15 were assigned, which allowed evaluation of the aryl substituent-dependent steric hindrance in this part of the molecules.

Study of the three-component equilibrium B reversible arrow A reversible arrow C revealed that the chain reversible arrow trans (A reversible arrow B) equilibrium constants are significantly influenced by the inductive effect (sigma(F)) of substituent Y on the 1-phenyl ring. In contrast, no significant substituent dependence on Y was observed for the chain reversible arrow cis (A reversible arrow C) equilibrium. There was an analogous dependence for the epimerization (C reversible arrow B) constants of 1-(Y-phenyl)-3- alkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-naphth[1,2-e] [1,3]oxazines. With these model compounds, significant overlapping energies of the nitrogen lone pair was observed by NBO analysis in the trans forms B (to sigma*(C1-C1'), sigma*(C1-C10b), and sigma*(C3-O4)) and in the cis forms C (to sigma*(C1-H), sigma*(C1-C10b), and sigma*(C3-O4)). The effects of disubstitution revealed some characteristic differences between the cis and trans isomers. However, the results do not suggest that the anomeric effect predominates in the preponderance of the trans over the cis isomer. When the C-13 chemical shift changes induced Y by substituents X and Y (SCS) were subjected to multiple linear regression analysis, negative rho(F)(Y) and rho(F)(X) values were observed at C-1 and C-3 for both the cis and trans isomers. In contrast, the positive rho(R)(Y) values at C-1 and the negative rho(R)(X) values at C-3 observed indicated the contribution of resonance structures f (rho(R) > 0) and g (rho(R) < 0), respectively.
