The enzyme protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is essential for the correct folding of proteins and the activation of certain cell surface receptors, and is a promising target for the treatment of cancer and thrombotic conditions. A previous high-throughput screen identified the commercial compound STK076545 as a promising PDI inhibitor. To confirm its activity and support further biological studies, a resynthesis was pursued of the reported b-keto-amide with an N-alkylated pyridone at the a-position. Numerous conventional approaches were complicated by undesired fragmentations or rearrangements. However, a successful 5-step synthetic route was achieved using an aldol reaction with an a-pyridone allyl ester as a key step. An X-ray crystal structure of the final compound confirmed that the reported structure of STK076545 was achieved, however its lack of PDI activity and inconsistent spectral data suggest that the commercial structure was misassigned.

Abstract Evidence is accumulating that circulating tissue factor (TF) contributes to the initiation of coagulation and the formation of fibrin. The majority of circulating TF is cryptic, and it has been suggested that close vicinity with anionic phospholipids on the cell surface increases the active conformation of TF. Two recent papers have shown that encryption of TF and initiation of coagulation are facilitated by the enzyme protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), possibly on the surface of activated platelets or endothelial cells. In this brief report, we demonstrate that the majority of PDI in platelets is intracellular where it is exclusively located in the dense tubular system. On activation, PDI remains confined to the intracellular stores of the dense tubular system and is neither released nor targeted to the cell surface. Similar results were obtained in endothelium where PDI remains exclusively localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, both at steady state and after thrombin stimulation.
