LMH001, a small chemical compound, effectively inhibits the activation of endothelial Nox2 and superoxide production induced by AngII by blocking the interaction between phosphorylated p(47phox) and p(22phox). It shows potential as a therapeutic candidate for oxidative stress-related cardiovascular diseases.
Endothelial oxidative stress and inflammation attributable to the activation of a Nox2-NADPH oxidase are key features of many cardiovascular diseases. Here, we report a novel small chemical compound (LMH001, MW = 290.079), by blocking phosphorylated p(47phox) interaction with p(22phox), inhibited effectively angiotensin II (AngII)-induced endothelial Nox2 activation and superoxide production at a small dose (IC50 = 0.25 mu M) without effect on peripheral leucocyte oxidative response to pathogens. The therapeutic potential of LMH001 was tested using a mouse model (C57BL/6J, 7-month-old) of AngII infusion (0.8 mg/kg/d, 14 days)-induced vascular oxidative stress, hypertension and aortic aneurysm. Age-matched littermates of p(47phox) knockout mice were used as controls of Nox2 inhibition. LMH001 (2.5 mg/kg/d, ip. once) showed no effect on control mice, but inhibited completely AngII infusion-induced excess ROS production in vital organs, hypertension, aortic walls inflammation and reduced incidences of aortic aneurysm. LMH001 effects on reducing vascular oxidative stress was due to its inhibition of Nox2 activation and was abrogated by knockout of p(47phox). LMH001 has the potential to be developed as a novel drug candidate to treat oxidative stress-related cardiovascular diseases.
