Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of FICZ Analogues as Agonists of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

open access: yesBioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2020
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand activated transcription factor involved in multiple biological processes including immune cell differentiation, intestinal function and inflammation. Based on the scaffold of naturally occurring AhR ligand 6-formylindolo (3,2-b) carbazole (FICZ, 2), a series of analogues has been designed, synthesized and

The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Ligand FICZ Improves Left Ventricular Remodeling and Cardiac Function at the Onset of Pressure Overload-Induced Heart Failure in Mice [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Adverse ventricular remodeling is the heart’s response to damaging stimuli and is linked to heart failure and poor prognosis. Formyl-indolo [3,2-b] carbazole (FICZ) is an endogenous ligand for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), through which it exerts ...

UVA1 irradiation attenuates collagen production via Ficz/AhR/MAPK signaling activation in scleroderma

International Immunopharmacology, 2023
Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease mainly characterized by progressive fibrosis of the skin. There are two types of scleroderma, namely localized scleroderma (LS) and systemic sclerosis (SSc); skin lesions in both types of scleroderma are histologically identical.

The Tryptophan Photoproduct 6-Formylindolo[3,2-b]Carbazole (FICZ) Binds Multiple AHRs and Induces Multiple CYP1 Genes via AHR2 in Zebrafish

open access: yesChemico-Biological Interactions, 2009
The tryptophan photooxidation product 6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ) has been proposed as a physiological ligand for the mammalian aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), which it binds with high-affinity, inducing expression of cytochrome P450 1A1 ...

Sensitivity of Avian Species to the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Ligand 6-Formylindolo [3,2-b] Carbazole (FICZ)

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2014
Avian species differ in sensitivity to the toxic effects of dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) and recent reports have provided insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying this variability. The sensitivity of avian species to DLCs is associated with the identity of amino acids at positions 324 and 380 within the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the aryl ...

Implications of tryptophan photoproduct FICZ in oxidative stress and terminal differentiation of keratinocytes

Giornale Italiano di Dermatologia e Venereologia, 2019
Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation activates aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mediates photocarcinogenesis and photoaging. 6-Formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ) is a tryptophan photoproduct generated by UVB exposure. FICZ exhibits similar biological effects to UVB, including AHR ligation and ROS production. FICZ

Protective Roles of FICZ and Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Axis on Alveolar Bone Loss and Inflammation in Experimental Periodontitis

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2019
AbstractAimThe aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)‐ligand axis has been shown to be involved in inflammatory diseases and bone homeostasis. However, the activation of AhR signalling pathway and the possible functions of AhR ligands in periodontitis are underexplored.

Tryptophan Photo-Product FICZ Upregulates AHR/MEK/ERK-Mediated MMP1 Expression: Implications in Anti-Fibrotic Phototherapy

Journal of Dermatological Science, 2018
Scleroderma is caused by aberrant transforming growth factor-ß signaling. The degradation of extracellular matrix proteins is regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been a therapy for scleroderma.

Concise Synthesis of 6-Formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ)

Chemistry Letters, 2014
Abstract A concise synthesis of 6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ), a potent ligand of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), has been established. The conjugate addition of the enolate derived from indolylacetate 2 to 2-chloro-3-formylindole 3 was accomplished.
