A Novel GSNOR Inhibitor with Potent Bronchodilatory Effects and CFTR Potentiation Activity

Joan Blonder, Kirsten Look, Xicheng Sun, Jinliang Sui, Jian Qiu, Charles Scoggin and Sherif Gabriel

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a complex disease caused by a defect in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Consequences of the CFTR defect include abnormal ion and fluid transport across epithelila tissues, leading to viscous mucus, infection, inflammation, and constriction which are most prevalent in the airways.

The most efficacious treatment for CF would therefore have the ability to attenuate multiple parameters associated with this disease. Previously, we have shown that pharmacological inhibition of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) may mitigate some aspects of CF pathophysiology through the ability to preserve S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) levels and function, including the ability to modulate inflammation, airway constriction, and CFTR function.

In this study, we explore the bronchodilatory and CFTR potentiation activities of a novel GSNOR inhibitor. More…(1.8Mb)
