- 요약Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, affecting over six million Americans and placing an increasing burden on healthcare systems as its prevalence rises with the aging population. Despite pharmacological advancements, current treatment strategies remain largely symptom-focused, targeting parameters like blood pressure and fluid overload rather than the molecular dysfunctions driving disease progression. One hallmark of HF pathophysiology is reduced expression and function of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a), an ATP-dependent pump that re-sequesters cytosolic calcium into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) during diastole. This dysfunction impairs cytosolic Ca2+ clearance and SR reuptake, contributing to poor cardiac relaxation and contractile inefficiency. Pharmacological activation of SERCA2a has emerged as a promising strategy to restore intracellular calcium handling, but the development of small-molecule activators has been hindered by poor potency, insufficient selectivity, and limited structure-activity relationship (SAR) data.This dissertation describes the discovery and SAR-guided development of small-molecule SERCA2a activators. Hits were identified using a ligand-based virtual screening platform trained on known SERCA2a activators and applied to a diverse natural product library. Three molecules-Alpinoid D, Yakuchinone A, and 6-paradol-enhanced ATPase activity in SERCA2a-enriched microsomes and served as starting points for systematic hit-to-lead development. These scaffolds shared a common three-region pharmacophore: a methoxyphenol head, electrophilic linker, and hydrophobic alkyl or aryl tail. Through modular synthetic strategies and iterative SAR development, over 80 analogs were designed, synthesized, and evaluated using an NADH-linked ATPase activity assay in SERCA2a-enriched microsomes, directly quantifying activation or inhibition relative to untreated controls at physiologically relevant calcium concentrations.These efforts produced 34 modulators-20 activators, 8 dual-effectors, and 6 inhibitors-comprising the largest library of SERCA2a-targeting small molecules reported to date. Several analogs, including indoline, benzofuran, and benzodioxole derivatives, enhanced maximal ATPase activity by up to 57% at low micromolar concentrations (EC50= 0.7-9.0 µM). SAR trends revealed distinct structural requirements across the three pharmacophoric regions. Moderate tail hydrophobicity favored activation, while excessive bulk hindered efficacy. Linker polarity and rigidity impacted performance, favoring flexible, hydrogen bond-accepting functionalities. The head region tolerated diverse modifications, with variations in fused ring size, substitution pattern, heteroatom content, and aromatic character yielding generally consistent ATPase activation. Although the precise binding site remains undefined, we hypothesize a mechanism involving direct or membrane-mediated engagement at an allosteric site within SERCA2a's hydrophobic transmembrane domain, as supported by consistent activation among highly lipophilic analogs (clogD7.4 ~ 8.0).A key mechanistic insight emerged from this SAR campaign: ATPase activity was strongly and inversely correlated with Ca2+ affinity (r= -0.75), suggesting that increased SERCA2a activity comes at the expense of calcium binding. This represents the first systematic evidence that small-molecule SERCA2a activation generally reduces the pump's apparent affinity for calcium. While additional studies are needed to determine whether this trade-off is chemotype-specific or more universal, the observed correlation provides valuable insight into the mechanistic consequences of SERCA2a modulation.In summary, this work defines structural features associated with SERCA2a ATPase modulation, establishes several chemically tractable scaffolds, and identifies a novel functional relationship between activation and calcium affinity. Although compound properties such as isoform selectivity, pharmacokinetics, and in vivo efficacy remain to be explored, these findings lay a foundation for the development of next-generation SERCA2a-targeted therapeutics and provide valuable tool compounds for further investigation of calcium handling dysfunction in HF and related pathologies.
