Popis: Heart failure (HF) remains a major public health burden, with current therapies focused primarily on symptom management. Impaired activity of the cardiac Ca 2+ pump SERCA2a is a hallmark of HF and a promising therapeutic target, but limited structural data have hindered small-molecule development. Here, we report a comprehensive structure–activity relationship (SAR) investigation of small-molecule SERCA2a activators, beginning with natural product hits and progressing through iterative optimization of three pharmacophoric regions. This effort produced the largest collection of SERCA2a modulators to dateincluding 20 activators, 8 dual effectors, and 6 inhibitors. Several indoline, benzofuran, and benzodioxole analogs emerged as potent activators, increasing ATPase activity by ∼57% (EC 50 = 0.7–9 μM). Notably, SERCA2a activation was inversely correlated with Ca 2+ affinity, suggesting that SERCA2a stimulation occurs at the expense of Ca 2+ binding. In summary, these findings identify key structural features that drive SERCA2a activity and establish a framework for developing next-generation SERCA2a-targeted therapies.

Abstrakt:Heart failure (HF) remains a major public health burden, with current therapies focused primarily on symptom management. Impaired activity of the cardiac Ca 2+ pump SERCA2a is a hallmark of HF and a promising therapeutic target, but limited structural data have hindered small-molecule development. Here, we report a comprehensive structure–activity relationship (SAR) investigation of small-molecule SERCA2a activators, beginning with natural product hits and progressing through iterative optimization of three pharmacophoric regions. This effort produced the largest collection of SERCA2a modulators to dateincluding 20 activators, 8 dual effectors, and 6 inhibitors. Several indoline, benzofuran, and benzodioxole analogs emerged as potent activators, increasing ATPase activity by ∼57% (EC 50 = 0.7–9 μM). Notably, SERCA2a activation was inversely correlated with Ca 2+ affinity, suggesting that SERCA2a stimulation occurs at the expense of Ca 2+ binding. In summary, these findings identify key structural features that drive SERCA2a activity and establish a framework for developing next-generation SERCA2a-targeted therapies.
