Biochem/physiol Actions

WWL113 is an inhibitor of mouse Carboxylesterase 3 (Ces3) and human CES1 (orthologue of mCes3), serine hydrolases involved in lipolysis in addition to their activities as liver detoxification enzymes. In a recent study, hCES1 activity was found to be increased two-fold in obese individuals and patients with type 2 diabetes compared to lean subjects, and is thought to generate surplus fatty acids that can deposit ectopically in tissues. WWL113 treatment resulted in major improvement of multiple features of metabolic syndrome and ameliorated obesity-diabetes in mice with lowered levels of nonesterified free fatty acids (NEFAs), triglycerides (TGs), total cholesterol and fasted glucose as well as enhanced glucose tolerance after three weeks of treatment. WWL113 inhibits Ces3 with an IC50 of 120 nM and also the closely related Ces1f with an IC50 of 100 nM. WWL113 inhibits mouse recombinant Ces1, Ces1c, and Abhd6 at 10 μM.

Cravatt Group – Professor Product Portal

The aim of the Cravatt research group is to understand the roles that mammalian enzymes play in physiological and pathological processes and to use this knowledge to identify novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of human disease. To achieve these goals, they develop and apply new technologies that bridge the fields of chemistry and biology, ascribing to the philosophy that the most significant biomedical problems require creative multidisciplinary approaches for their solution. The group's technological innovations address fundamental challenges in systems biology that are beyond the scope of contemporary methods. For instance, enzymes are tightly regulated by post-translational events in vivo, meaning that their activity may not correlate with expression as measured by standard genomic and proteomic approaches. Considering that it is an enzyme's activity, rather than abundance that ultimately dictates its role in cell physiology and pathology, the Cravatt group has introduced a set of proteomic technologies that directly measures this parameter. These activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) methods exploit the power of chemistry to engender new tools and assays for the global analysis of enzyme activities. The enzyme activity profiles generated by ABPP constitute unique molecular portraits of cells and tissues that illuminate how metabolic and signaling networks are regulated in vivo. Additionally, by evaluating enzymes based on functional properties rather than mere abundance, ABPP acquires high-content proteomic information that is enriched in novel markers and targets for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
