A newly identified small molecule increases the rate of tissue regeneration in the colon, liver, and bone marrow of mice. With further testing and development, such a compound could lead to therapies that would help patients heal tissues damaged by disease or excised through surgery.
The new strategy boosts levels of PGE2 through another mechanism: by inhibiting an enzyme that breaks it down. The approach was devised by Sanford D. Markowitz and Stanton L. Gerson of Case Western Reserve University; Joseph M. Ready, Bruce Posner, and James K. V. Willson of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas; and coworkers (Science 2015, DOI: 10.1126/science.aaa2340).
The team used high-throughput screening to find SW033291 [1], a small molecule that inhibits a key prostaglandin-degrading enzyme, 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase. Administering the agent to mice doubled levels of PGE2 in their bodies, doubled rates of tissue regeneration in their colons and livers, and made bone marrow reconstitution faster. The researchers next plan to test an easier-to-administer version of the molecule for toxicity in animals and, if that compound appears safe, they hope to apply to the Food & Drug Administration to start testing it in people, Markowitz says.
Prediction of biological activity spectra with computer program PASS [2] for compound No. SW03391 provides the following estimates:

Pa is the probability to be "active, Pi is the probability to be "inactive".

In addition to the known target (Prostaglandin dehydrogenase inhibitor), interaction with some other targets is predicted for this compound as well, including: 3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase inhibitor, Toll-Like receptor antagonist, Aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist, etc. Despite the less probabilities of these activities, such interactions have to be checked experimentally, because e.g. agonism to aryl hydrocarbon receptor may be considered as action that causes off-target effects.
