DiseaseARGI1_HUMAN Defects in ARG1 are the cause of argininemia (ARGIN) [MIM:207800; also known as hyperargininemia. Argininemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the urea cycle. Arginine is elevated in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and periodic hyperammonemia occurs. Clinical manifestations include developmental delay, seizures, mental retardation, hypotonia, ataxia, progressive spastic quadriplegia.[1] [2] FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedRecent data suggest that the inhibition of arginase (ARG) has therapeutic potential for the treatment of a number of indications ranging from pulmonary and vascular disease to cancer. Thus, high demand exists for selective small molecule ARG inhibitors with favorable druglike properties and good oral bioavailability. In light of the significant challenges associated with the unique physicochemical properties of previously disclosed ARG inhibitors, we use structure-based drug design combined with a focused optimization strategy to discover a class of boronic acids featuring a privileged proline scaffold with superior potency and oral bioavailability. These compounds, exemplified by inhibitors 4a, 18, and 27, demonstrated a favorable overall profile, and 4a was well tolerated following multiple days of dosing at concentrations that exceed those required for serum arginase inhibition and concomitant arginine elevation in a syngeneic mouse carcinoma model.
