This study suggests that compounds 44 and 52 may serve as potential lead compounds for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease characterized with high mortality, unknown etiology, and lack of effective treatment. Many evidences validate that inhibiting the activation of STAT3 is an attractive therapeutic strategy for IPF. Herein, based on our previous findings that nifuroxazide (NIF) could effectively attenuate pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting STAT3 activation, a series of diarylacylhydrazones derivatives have been designed and synthesized. Among them, compounds 44 and 52 could inhibit TGF-81-induced abnormal activation of NIH-3T3 and A549 cells, as well as migration and EMT of A549 cells. In a bleomycin-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis model, the oral administration of 44 and 52 (bioavailability F = 31.75% and 42.08%) improved mouse lung function and slowed the progression of IPF. Moreover, 52 could reverse the pulmonary fibrosis in treatment model. Collectively, this work shows 44 and 52 could be a potential lead compound for the treatment of IPF, and it is worthy of further study.
