Abstract: Human lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a family of iron-containing enzymes involved in catalyzing the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to provide the corresponding bioactive hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) metabolites. These eicosanoid signaling molecules are involved in a number of physiologic responses such as platelet aggregation, inflammation, and cell proliferation. Platelet-type 12-(S)-LOX (12-LOX) is of particular interest because of its demonstrated role in skin diseases, diabetes, platelet hemostasis, thrombosis, and cancer. Disclosed herein is the identification and medicinal chemistry optimization of a 4-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)amino)benzenesulfonamide-based scaffold. The compounds display nM potency against 12-LOX and excellent selectivity over related lipoxygenases and cyclooxygenases. In addition to possessing favorable ADME properties, the compounds also inhibit PAR-4 induced aggregation and calcium mobilization in human platelets, and reduce 12-HETE in mouse/human beta cells.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions and methods are provided for treating diabetes and/or restoring ?-cell mass and function in a mammal in need thereof. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by immune damage to pancreatic beta-cells. Lisofylline analogs (LSF analogs) are immunomodulators that reduce interlukin 12 signaling and reduce the onset of T1DM in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. A combination therapy with both LSF analog (pretreatment) and INGAP provides protection from autoimmune destruction. The concomitant or combination of an LSF analog and INGAP after pre-treatment with an LSF analog is an effective therapy for a disease or condition resulting from the loss of pancreatic islet cells or insulin production in a mammal.
