  • the endoplasmic reticulum is a very important organelle that folds during protein biosynthesis.
  • proteins in an unfolded state accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in various pathological conditions.
  • pathological conditions or diseases known to be caused by endoplasmic reticulum stress include, for example, diabetes and liver disease.
  • Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which the concentration of glucose in the blood rises because the amount of insulin secretion that helps the food to be broken down into sugar and transported into the blood is insufficient or the normal function is not performed.
  • Korean Diabetes Association and the recent announcement by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of diabetes in Korea is continuously increasing, and it is expected that the national health will be significantly threatened due to the increase in various chronic diseases and complications.
  • hyperglycemia and insulin resistance (IR) can be induced. It is well known that it causes chronic complications such as vascular complications and increases the mortality rate therefrom.
  • liver disease in Korea is very high at 23.5 per 100,000 people (37.8 males, 9.0 females), and is the 1st cause of death in the 40s (41.1/100,000) and the 2nd leading cause of death in the 50s (72.4/100,000). , it is currently the main cause of death for the middle-aged population in Korea, ranking third (10/100,000) as the cause of death in their 30s.
  • fatty liver is caused by accumulation of fat in the liver due to excessive fat or alcohol intake, increased fat synthesis in the liver, reduced neutral fat emission and combustion, and generally refers to cases in which the proportion of fat accumulated in the liver is 5% or more.
  • fatty liver can be largely divided into alcoholic fat caused by excessive drinking and non-alcoholic fatty liver caused by liver and obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia or drugs.
  • Alcoholic fatty liver occurs when excessive intake of alcohol promotes fat synthesis in the liver and prevents normal energy metabolism.
  • non-alcoholic fatty liver often occurs in people suffering from obesity, insulin hypersensitivity, and diabetes. This phenomenon suggests that non-alcoholic fatty liver may be caused by an increase in the concentration of free fatty acids in the blood due to insulin resistance or excessive lipolysis.
  • fatty liver is simply a phenomenon in which fat accumulates in the liver, but considering the fact that 50% of patients diagnosed with alcoholic fatty liver and 30% of patients diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver develop cirrhosis, fatty liver is very serious. It should be regarded as one of the liver diseases. As such, fatty liver has emerged as a serious problem, but useful drugs for treating it are still lacking, and only exercise and diet therapy are recommended. Also, in fact, the treatment efficiency of fatty liver by this method is very low, and the development of an effective new therapeutic agent for fatty liver is required. However, an appropriate therapeutic agent for treating the disease has not been developed to date.
  • Proteins can be degraded and synthesized through ubiquitin/deubiquitinase, and ubiquitin binds to the target protein by E1, E2, and E3 during the ubiquitin/deubiquitinization process and is degraded through proteasome activity, whereas deubiquitinase It is known that protein degradation can be prevented by separating ubiquitin from a target protein.

Abstract

Un inhibiteur de la désubiquitinase de la présente invention peut inhiber l'expression des enzymes de désubiquitination USP42 et TRABID pour augmenter la dégradation des protéines de stress du réticulum endoplasmique, présentant ainsi des effets de prévention et de traitement du diabète et de maladies hépatiques telles que la stéatose hépatique et, par conséquent, on s'attend à ce qu'une composition pharmaceutique contenant l'inhibiteur de la désubiquitinase puisse être utilisé dans un agent thérapeutique ou similaire présentant un excellent effet de traitement sur des maladies associées au stress du réticulum endoplasmique.
