Article Abstract
The synthesis and Delta F508-CFTR corrector activity of a 148-member methylbithiazole-based library are reported. Synthetic routes were devised and optimized to generate methylbithiazole analogs in four steps. Corrector potency and efficacy were assayed using epithelial cells expressing human Delta F508-CFTR. These structure-activity data establish that the bithiazole substructure plays a critical function; eight novel methylbithiazole correctors were identified with low micromolar potencies.

Sperm retrieval and intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in men with cystic fibrosis disease versus congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that changes in the CFTR gene affect male fertility in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients beyond just physical blockage.
- A study compared sperm retrieval rates and outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) between CF patients and those with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD).
- Results showed that CF patients had significantly lower sperm quality and retrieval success rates, especially if they had homozygous delta F508 mutations, leading to poorer ICSI outcomes compared to CBAVD individuals.
Antiestrogen- and tamoxifen-induced effects on calcium-activated chloride currents in epithelial cells carrying the ∆F508-CFTR point mutation.

Background: Although pharmacological treatment has increased the average life expectancy of patients with cystic fibrosis, the median survival of females is shorter than that of males. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that estrogens play a relevant role in the disease progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 17β-estradiol and tamoxifen citrate (TMX) on calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) currents in human bronchial epithelial cells carrying the ΔPhe508-CFTR mutation both in homozygosis and in heterozygosis.

The most common cystic fibrosis-causing mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is deletion of phenylalanine at residue 508 (∆F508). The ∆F508 mutation impairs folding of nucleotide binding domain 1 (NBD1) and interfacial interactions of NBD1 and the membrane spanning domains. Here, we report a domain-targeted screen to identify ∆F508-CFTR modulators that act on NBD1.

Article Synopsis
- The deletion of phenylalanine 508 in the CFTR protein is a key factor in cystic fibrosis, causing the mutant protein to be trapped in the endoplasmic reticulum and not reach the cell surface.
- Researchers found that the mTOR signaling pathway is upregulated in cells with the ΔF508 CFTR mutation, which affects the protein's stability and trafficking.
- Inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway led to increased CFTR stability and expression, with the inhibitor MK-2206 effectively restoring autophagy and identifying BAG3 as a potential target for therapy.

Combination drug therapies under development for cystic fibrosis caused by the ∆F508 mutation in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) include a "corrector" to improve its cellular processing and a "potentiator" to improve its chloride channel function. Recently, it was reported that the approved potentiator N-(2,4-di-tert-butyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide (Ivacaftor) reduces ∆F508-CFTR cellular stability and the efficacy of investigational correctors, including 3-(6-[([1-(2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)cyclopropyl]carbonyl) amino]-3-methyl-2-pyridinyl)-benzoic acid and 1-(2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-N-(1-[(2R)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl]-6-fluoro-2-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-indol-5-yl), which might contribute to the modest reported efficacy of combination therapy in clinical trials. Here, we report the identification and characterization of potentiators that do not interfere with ∆F508-CFTR stability or corrector action.
