Collection of Data Variation Using a High-Throughput Image-Based Assay Platform Facilitates Data-Driven Understanding of TRPA1 Agonist Diversity

Because transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is involved in various physiological functions, TRPA1-targeting drugs have been energetically developed. Although TRPA1 is considered a multimodal receptor, the structural diversity of TRPA1 agonists is not fully elucidated. We hypothesized that...

description Because transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is involved in various physiological functions, TRPA1-targeting drugs have been energetically developed. Although TRPA1 is considered a multimodal receptor, the structural diversity of TRPA1 agonists is not fully elucidated. We hypothesized that collecting a wider variation of TRPA1–compound interaction data would aid the understanding of its complex mechanism and aimed to challenge such data collection using an “image-based TRPA1 assay system combined with an in silico chemical space clustering concept.” Our library was clustered with 27 physicochemical molecular descriptors in silico, and structurally diverse compounds from each cluster were selected for a detailed kinetic assay to investigate variations of agonist structural rules. Through two sets of assays evaluating various compounds in parallel with validating effects of the previously established structural rules, we discovered that different chemical groups contribute to agonist activity, indicating that there are multiple agonist design concepts. A novel core structure for a TRPA1 agonist has been also proposed. Our new approach, “collection of TRPA1 activity data on compounds with physicochemical diversity,” will not only facilitate the understanding of the structural diversity of TRPA1 agonists but also contribute to the development of a new type of TRPA1-targeting drug.
