3,6-Dibromocarbazole Piperazine Derivatives of 2-Propanol as First Inhibitors of Cytochrome c Release via Bax Channel Modulation
2003
There is compelling evidence that Bax channel activity stimulates cytochrome c release leading ultimately to cell death, which is a key event in ischemic injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. Here 3,6-dibromocarbazole piperazine derivatives of 2-propanol are described as the first small and potent modulators of the cytochrome c release triggered by Bid-induced Bax activation in a mitochondrial assay. Furthermore, a mechanism of action is proposed, and fluorescent derivatives allowing the localization of such inhibitors are reported.
