Several 3-heteroaryl analogs of the known dehydroquinase inhibitor (1R,4R,5R)-1,4,5-trihydroxy-2-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid (4) were synthesized and tested as inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori type II dehydroquinase, the third enzyme of the shikimic acid pathway. All of these compounds proved to be reversible competitive inhibitiors of this enzyme and proved to be, with the exception of nitrile 8 e, more potent than the parent inhibitor 4 (K(i)=370 microM). The 2-thienyl derivative 8 b was found to be the most potent inhibitor of the series and has a K(i) value of 540 nM, which is almost seven hundred times lower than that of the parent inhibitor. The 3-nitrothienyl derivative 8 d and 2-furanyl derivative 8 a also had a good affinity of 1 microM. The conformation of the potent competitive inhibitor 8 b, when bound in the active site of the H. pylori enzyme, was elucidated by 1D-selective inversion NOE, Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) and transferred NOESY NMR experiments. One of the conformations that exists in solution for the potent competitive inhibitor 2-thienyl derivative 8 b is selected when it is bound to the active site of the enzyme. In the bound conformation derivative 8 b has the sulfur atom of its thienyl group oriented towards the double bond of the cyclohexene moiety. The large STD effects observed for the aromatic protons of 8 b show that it is the thiophene side of the ligand that makes closest contact with enzyme protons. Docking studies using GOLD3.0.1 suggest that the conformation determined by NMR allows strong lipophilic interactions with the enzyme residues Pro9, Asn10, Ile11, Gly78 and Ala 79. Competitive STD experiments carried out with high-, medium- and low-affinity ligands 8 b, 5 d and 5 f show that they all bind in the same site of Helicobacter pylori dehydroquinase. 相似文献

The synergy between tuberculosis and the AIDS epidemic, along with the surge of multidrug-resistant isolates of M. tuberculosis, has reaffirmed tuberculosis as a primary public health threat. It is therefore necessary to discover new, safe, and more efficient antibiotics against this disease. On the other hand, mapping the dynamic interactions of inhibitors of a target protein can provide information for the development of more potent inhibitors and consequently, more potent potential drugs. In this context, the conformational binding of our previously reported nanomolar inhibitor of M. tuberculosis type II dehydroquinase, the 3-nitrophenyl derivative 1, was studied using saturation transfer difference (STD) and transferred NOESY experiments. These studies have shown that in the bound state, one conformation of those present in solution of the competitive nanomolar inhibitor 3-nitrophenyl derivative 1 is selected. In the bound conformation, the aromatic ring is slightly shifted from coplanarity, with the double bond and the nitro group of 1 oriented towards the double bond side. 相似文献

The binding mode of several substrate analogues, (2R)‐2‐benzyl‐3‐dehydroquinic acids 4 , which are potent reversible competitive inhibitors of type II dehydroquinase (DHQ2), the third enzyme of the shikimic acid pathway, has been investigated by structural and computational studies. The crystal structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Helicobacter pylori DHQ2 in complex with one of the most potent inhibitor, p‐methoxybenzyl derivative 4 a , have been solved at 2.40 Å and 2.75 Å, respectively. This has allowed the resolution of the M. tuberculosis DHQ2 loop containing residues 20–25 for the first time. These structures show the key interactions of the aromatic ring in the active site of both enzymes and additionally reveal an important change in the conformation and flexibility of the loop that closes over substrate binding. The loop conformation and the binding mode of compounds 4 b – d has been also studied by molecular dynamics simulations, which suggest that the benzyl group of inhibitors 4 prevent appropriate orientation of the catalytic tyrosine of the loop for proton abstraction and disrupts its basicity. 相似文献

The in silico design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of ten potent type II dehydroquinase inhibitors are described. These compounds contain an anhydroquinate core, incorporated as a mimic of the enolate reaction intermediate. This substructure is attached by a variety of linking units to a terminal phenyl group that binds in an adjacent pocket. Inhibitors were synthesised from (-)-quinic acid using palladium-catalysed Stille and carboamidation chemistry. Several inhibitors exhibited nanomolar inhibition constants against type II dehydroquinases from Streptomyces coelicolor and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These are among the most potent inhibitors of these enzymes reported to date. 相似文献

A series of GABA uptake inhibitors related to (S)-1-{2-[tris(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]ethyl}piperidine-3-carboxylic acid [(S)-SNAP-5114], the most potent mGAT4 inhibitor known so far, were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their inhibitory potency at the four GABA uptake transporters mGAT1-4 stably expressed in HEK-293 cell lines. New analogues were developed with potencies that are similar to or slightly higher than those of current mGAT4 inhibitors, but with distinctly improved chemical stability. (S)-Nipecotic acid derivatives possessing a 2-[1-(4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-1,1-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]ethyl (DDPM-859) or a 4,4,4-tris(4-methoxyphenyl)but-2-en-1-yl moiety (DDPM-1457) were found to exhibit pIC(50) values of 5.78 and 5.87, respectively. Thus, as mGAT4 inhibitors, these compounds compare well with (S)-SNAP-5114 (pIC(50) =5.71), but are far more stable than the latter. Moreover, DDPM-859 displays a more favorable subtype selectivity for mGAT4 versus mGAT3 than does (S)-SNAP-5114. 相似文献

A broad protease-based and cell-based screening of protease inhibitors yielded the aziridine-2-carboxylic acid derivative 2 a and the N-acylated aziridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid derivatives 32 a and 34 b as the most potent inhibitors of falcipain-2 and falcipain-3 (IC(50) falcipain-2: 0.079-5.4 microM, falcipain-3: 0.25-39.8 microM). As the compounds also display in vitro activity against the P. falciparum parasite in the submicromolar and low micromolar range, these compound classes are leads for new antiplasmodial falcipain inhibitors. 相似文献

A library of novel Mycobacterium tuberculosis type II dehydroquinase (DHQase) inhibitors were discovered through the use of a fragment elaboration approach. Putative active site binding fragments were initially assessed in silico which led to the selection of two small aromatic fragments for further investigation. Synthetic elaboration of the fragments provided a library of 34 inhibitors that exhibited low-micromolar inhibition of type II DHQase. A number of these inhibitors also showed antibacterial activity in the low-micromolar range in screens against M. tuberculosis in vitro; these now serve as lead compounds for further development of therapeutics for the treatment of tuberculosis. 相似文献

3‐Dehydroquinase, the third enzyme in the shikimate pathway, is a potential target for drugs against tuberculosis. Whilst a number of potent inhibitors of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme based on a 3‐dehydroquinate core have been identified, they generally show little or no in vivo activity, and were synthetically complex to prepare. This report describes studies to develop tractable and drug‐like aromatic analogues of the most potent inhibitors. A range of carbon–carbon linked biaryl analogues were prepared to investigate the effect of hydrogen bond acceptor and donor patterns on inhibition. These exhibited inhibitory activity in the high‐micromolar range. The addition of flexible linkers in the compounds led to the identification of more potent 3‐nitrobenzylgallate‐ and 5‐aminoisophthalate‐based analogues. 相似文献

Research in the field of protease inhibitors is focused on obtaining potent, specific and protease-resistant inhibitors. To our knowledge, there are no reports in the literature that consider the application of N-substituted glycine residues (peptoid monomers) for the design of peptidomimetic protease inhibitors. We hereby present the chemical synthesis and kinetic properties of two new analogues of the trypsin inhibitor SFTI-1 modified at the P1 position. Substitution of Lys5 in SFTI-1 by N-(4-aminobutyl)-glycine and N-benzylglycine, which mimic Lys and Phe, respectively, made these analogues completely protease-resistant at their P1-P1' reactive sites. The analogues synthesised appeared to be potent inhibitors of bovine beta-trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin. These noncovalent, competitive and selective peptide-peptoid hybrid (peptomeric) inhibitors might open the way to targeting unwanted proteolysis. 相似文献

PTP1B dephosphorylates insulin receptor and substrates to modulate glucose metabolism. This enzyme is a validated therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes, but no current drug candidates have completed clinical trials. Pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines substituted at positions C1–C4 and/or C7–C8 were found to be nontoxic to cells and good inhibitors in the low- to sub-micromolar range, with the 4-benzyl derivative being the most potent inhibitor (0.24 μm ). Some analogues bearing chlorine atoms at C7 and/or C8 kept potency and showed good selectivity compared to TCPTP (selectivity index >40). The most potent inhibitors behaved as insulin mimetics by increasing glucose uptake. The 4-benzyl derivative inhibited insulin receptor substrate 1 and AKT phosphorylation. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations supported a putative binding mode for these compounds to the allosteric α3/α6/α7 pocket, but inconsistent results in enzyme inhibition kinetics were obtained due to the high tendency of these inhibitors to form stable aggregates. Computational calculations supported the druggability of inhibitors. 相似文献

In the search for novel inhibitors of the enzyme thymidine monophosphate kinase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TMPKmt), an attractive target for novel antituberculosis agents, we report herein the discovery of the first acyclic nucleoside analogues that potently and selectively inhibit TMPKmt. The most potent compounds in this series are (Z)-butenylthymines carrying a naphtholactam or naphthosultam moiety at position 4, which display K(i) values of 0.42 and 0.27 microM, respectively. Docking studies followed by molecular dynamics simulations performed to rationalize the interaction of this new family of inhibitors with the target enzyme revealed a key interaction between the distal substituent and Arg 95 in the target enzyme. The fact that these inhibitors are more easily synthesizable than previously identified TMPKmt inhibitors, together with their potency against the target enzyme, makes them attractive lead compounds for further optimization. 相似文献

Isoniazid (INH) remains one of the cornerstones of antitubercular chemotherapy for drug‐sensitive strains of M. tuberculosis bacteria. However, the increasing prevalence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) and extensively drug‐resistant (XDR) strains containing mutations in the KatG enzyme, which is responsible for the activation of INH into its antitubercular form, have rendered this drug of little or no use in many cases of drug‐resistant tuberculosis. Presented herein is a novel family of antitubercular direct NADH‐dependent 2‐trans enoyl–acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) inhibitors based on an N‐benzyl‐4‐((heteroaryl)methyl)benzamide template; unlike INH, these do not require prior activation by KatG. Given their direct InhA target engagement, these compounds should be able to circumvent KatG‐related resistance in the clinic. The lead molecules were shown to be potent inhibitors of InhA and showed activity against M. tuberculosis bacteria. This new family of inhibitors was found to be chemically tractable, as exemplified by the facile synthesis of analogues and the establishment of structure–activity relationships. Furthermore, a co‐crystal structure of the initial hit with the enzyme is disclosed, providing valuable information toward the design of new InhA inhibitors for the treatment of MDR/XDR tuberculosis. 相似文献

Casein kinase 2 (CK2) is a ubiquitous, essential, and highly pleiotropic protein kinase; its abnormally high constitutive activity is suspected to underlie its pathogenic potential in neoplasia and other relevant diseases. Previously, using different in silico screening approaches, two potent and selective CK2 inhibitors were identified by our group: ellagic acid, a naturally occurring tannic acid derivative (K(i)=20 nM) and 3,8-dibromo-7-hydroxy-4-methylchromen-2-one (DBC, K(i)=60 nM). Comparing the crystallographic binding modes of both ellagic acid and DBC, an X-ray structure-driven merging approach was taken to design novel CK2 inhibitors with improved target affinity. A urolithin moiety is proposed as a possible bridging scaffold between the two known CK2 inhibitors, ellagic acid and DBC. Optimization of urolithin A as the bridging moiety led to the identification of 4-bromo-3,8-dihydroxy-benzo[c]chromen-6-one as a novel, potent and selective CK2 inhibitor, which shows a K(i) value of 7 nM against the protein kinase, representing a significant improvement in affinity for the target compared with the two parent fragments. 相似文献

Golgi α‐mannosidase II (GMII) is a key enzyme in the N‐glycosylation pathway and is a potential target for cancer chemotherapy. The natural product swainsonine is a potent inhibitor of GMII. In this paper we characterize the binding of 5α‐substituted swainsonine analogues to the soluble catalytic domain of Drosophila GMII by X‐ray crystallography. These inhibitors enjoy an advantage over previously reported GMII inhibitors in that they did not significantly decrease the inhibitory potential of the swainsonine head‐group. The phenyl groups of these analogues occupy a portion of the binding site not previously seen to be populated with either substrate analogues or other inhibitors and they form novel hydrophobic interactions. They displace a well‐organized water cluster, but the presence of a C(10) carbonyl allows the reestablishment of important hydrogen bonds. Already approximately tenfold more active against the Golgi enzyme than the lysosomal enzyme, these inhibitors offer the potential of being extended into the N‐acetylglucosamine binding site of GMII for the creation of even more potent and selective GMII inhibitors. 相似文献

We describe the rational design of a novel, highly potent inhibitor of type II dehydroquinase, the dicarboxylate 6. The incorporation of a carboxylate at the 3-position mimics the putative enolate intermediate in the reaction mechanism, and allows a potential electrostatic binding interaction with the arginine on the active site flap. This results in a 1000-fold increase in potency, making the dicarboxylate 6 the most potent inhibitor of type II dehydroquinase reported to date, with a high ligand efficiency of -0.68 kcal mol(-1) per nonhydrogen atom. The systematic dissection of 6 in compounds 7-12, all of which show a drop in potency, confirm the synergistic importance of the two carboxylates, the C3 and C4 hydroxyl groups, and the anhydroquinate ring structure for the potency of 6. 相似文献

MenE, the o-succinylbenzoate (OSB)-CoA synthetase from bacterial menaquinone biosynthesis, is a promising new antibacterial target. Sulfonyladenosine analogues of the cognate reaction intermediate, OSB-AMP, have been developed as inhibitors of the MenE enzymes from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (mtMenE), Staphylococcus aureus (saMenE) and Escherichia coli (ecMenE). Both a free carboxylate and a ketone moiety on the OSB side chain are required for potent inhibitory activity. OSB-AMS (4) is a competitive inhibitor of mtMenE with respect to ATP (K(i) =5.4±0.1 nM) and a noncompetitive inhibitor with respect to OSB (K(i) =11.2±0.9 nM). These data are consistent with a Bi Uni Uni Bi Ping-Pong kinetic mechanism for these enzymes. In addition, OSB-AMS inhibits saMenE with K(i)(app) =22±8 nM and ecMenE with K(i)(OSB) =128±5 nM. Putative active-site residues, Arg222, which may interact with the OSB aromatic carboxylate, and Ser302, which may bind the OSB ketone oxygen, have been identified through computational docking of OSB-AMP with the unliganded crystal structure of saMenE. A pH-dependent interconversion of the free keto acid and lactol forms of the inhibitors is also described, along with implications for inhibitor design. 相似文献

Octahydroepoxyisoindole analogues of norcantharidin were accessed through a Diels–Alder reaction of an amine-substituted furan with maleic anhydride and subsequent reduction of the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene olefin. Despite retention of the carboxylate and the ether bridgehead known to impart cytotoxic activity to norcantharidin, none of these analogues displayed notable cytotoxicity against the 11 cell lines examined: HT29 (colon), MCF-7 (breast), A2780 (ovarian), H460 (lung), A431 (skin), Du145 (prostate), BE2-C (neuroblastoma), SJ-G2 and U87 (glioblastoma), MIA (pancreatic), and SMA (spontaneous murine astrocytoma). The incorporation of an amino-substituted system post-synthesis of norcantharidin afforded facile access to 14 acid/amide-substituted norcantharidin analogues. Of these, only four displayed sufficient activity at the initial 25 μm compound screening dose to warrant full evaluation of growth inhibition. Common to these analogues was the presence of a 4-biphenyl moiety, and in particular 3-(2-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-3-(4-biphenylamino)-3-oxopropylcarbamoyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid ( 13 c ) and 3-(2-(pyrrole-2-ylmethyl)-3-(4-biphenylamino)-3-oxopropylcarbamoyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid ( 24 ) displayed high levels of cytotoxicity, returning GI50 values of 15 nm (HT29) to 2.9 μm (U87) and 17 nm (SMA) to 2.8 μm (U87), respectively. These are the most cytotoxic norcantharidin analogues reported to date. 相似文献

Thirty two analogues of phencyclidine were synthesised and tested as inhibitors of trypanothione reductase (TryR), a potential drug target in trypanosome and leishmania parasites. The lead compound BTCP ( 1 , 1‐(1‐benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl‐cyclohexyl) piperidine) was found to be a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme (Ki=1 μM ) and biologically active against bloodstream T. brucei (EC50=10 μM ), but with poor selectivity against mammalian MRC5 cells (EC50=29 μM ). Analogues with improved enzymatic and biological activity were obtained. The structure–activity relationships of this novel series are discussed. 相似文献

WOBE437 ((2E,4E)-N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)dodeca-2,4-dienamide, 1 ) is a natural product-derived, highly potent inhibitor of endocannabinoid reuptake. In this study, we synthesized almost 80 analogues of 1 with different types of modifications in the dodecadienoyl domain as well as the dimethoxyphenylethyl head group, and we investigated their effects on anandamide uptake into U937 cells. Intriguingly, none of these analogues was a more potent inhibitor of anandamide uptake than WOBE437 ( 1 ). At the same time, a number of WOBE437 variants exhibited potencies in the sub-100 nM range, with high selectivity over inhibition of the endocannabinoid-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase; two compounds were virtually equipotent with 1 . Interestingly, profound activity differences were observed between analogues in which either of the two methoxy substituents in the head group had been replaced by the same bulkier alkoxy group. Some of the compounds described here could be interesting departure points for the development of potent endocannabinoid uptake inhibitors with more drug-like properties. 相似文献
