Compound 147
ER stress sensing protein ATF6 activator / Preferential activator of the ER stress sensing protein ATF6.1 It was able to selectively reduce secretion and extracellular aggregation of destabilized amyloidogenic variants of TTR and LC proteins. AA147-dependent ATF6 activation proceeds via metabolic activation to a reactive electrophile that selectively modifies ER proteins including multiple protein disulfide isomerases.2 AA147 suppressed pluripotency and promoted human stem cell differentiation toward a mesodermal lineage via ER expansion.3 It protected the heart against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in a mouse model of acute myocardial infarction in an ATF6-dependent manner.4 Brain, kidney, and liver tissue was also protected from I/R damage and impaired proteostasis. AA147 reduced infection of multiple strains of dengue and Zika viruses in an ATF6-independent manner.5 Protects against glutamate-induced cell death is a neuronal-derived cell culture model.6 See companion inhibitor 10-3974.
