Structure-Based Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of 2'-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine and the 5'-Diphosphate Derivative as Ribonucleotide Reductase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Analysis of the recently solved X-ray crystal structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribonucleotide reductase I (ScRnr1) in complex with effectors and substrates led to the discovery of a conserved water molecule located at the active site that interacted with the 2'-hydroxy group of the nucleoside ribose. In this study 2'-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine 1 and the 5'-diphosphate derivative 2 were designed and synthesized to see if the conserved water molecule could be displaced by a hydroxymethylene group, to generate novel RNR inhibitors as potential antitumor agents. Herein we report the synthesis of analogues 1 and 2, and the co-crystal structure of adenosine diphosphate analogue 2 bound to ScRnr1, which shows the conserved water molecule is displaced as hypothesized.

Structure-guided design of anti-cancer ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors.

Project description:Ribonucleotide reductase (RR) catalyses the rate-limiting step of dNTP synthesis, establishing it as an important cancer target. While RR is traditionally inhibited by nucleoside-based antimetabolites, we recently discovered a naphthyl salicyl acyl hydrazone-based inhibitor (NSAH) that binds reversibly to the catalytic site (C-site). Here we report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of 13 distinct compounds (TP1-13) with improved binding to hRR over NSAH (TP8), with lower KD's and more predicted residue interactions. Moreover, TP6 displayed the greatest growth inhibiting effect in the Panc1 pancreatic cancer cell line with an IC50 of 0.393 µM. This represents more than a 2-fold improvement over NSAH, making TP6 the most potent compound against pancreatic cancer emerging from the hydrazone inhibitors. NSAH was optimised by the addition of cyclic and polar groups replacing the naphthyl moiety, which occupies the phosphate-binding pocket in the C-site, establishing a new direction in inhibitor design.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of Fe-S targeted adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase inhibitors.

Project description:Adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APR) is an iron-sulfur enzyme that is vital for survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during dormancy and is an attractive target for the treatment of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection. The 4Fe-4S cluster is coordinated to APR by sulfur atoms of four cysteine residues, is proximal to substrate, adenosine 5'-phopsphosulfate (APS), and is essential for catalytic activity. Herein, we present an approach for the development of a new class of APR inhibitors. As an initial step, we have employed an improved solid-phase chemistry method to prepare a series of N(6)-substituted adenosine analogues and their 5'-phosphates as well as adenosine 5'-phosphate diesters bearing different Fe and S binding groups, such as thiols or carboxylic and hydroxamic acid moieties. Evaluation of the resulting compounds indicates a clearly defined spacing requirement between the Fe-S targeting group and adenosine scaffold and that smaller Fe-S targeting groups are better tolerated. Molecular docking analysis suggests that the S atom of the most potent inhibitor may establish a favorable interaction with an S atom in the cluster. In summary, this study showcases an improved solid-phase method that expedites the preparation of adenosine and related 5'-phosphate derivatives and presents a unique Fe-S targeting strategy for the development of APR inhibitors.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel inhibitors of Trypanosoma brucei pteridine reductase 1.

Project description:Genetic studies indicate that the enzyme pteridine reductase?1 (PTR1) is essential for the survival of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Herein, we describe the development and optimisation of a novel series of PTR1 inhibitors, based on benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine derivatives. Data are reported on 33 compounds. This series was initially discovered by a virtual screening campaign (J. Med. Chem., 2009, 52, 4454). The inhibitors adopted an alternative binding mode to those of the natural ligands, biopterin and dihydrobiopterin, and classical inhibitors, such as methotrexate. Using both rational medicinal chemistry and structure-based approaches, we were able to derive compounds with potent activity against T.?brucei PTR1 (K(i)(app)=7?nM), which had high selectivity over both human and T.?brucei dihydrofolate reductase. Unfortunately, these compounds displayed weak activity against the parasites. Kinetic studies and analysis indicate that the main reason for the lack of cell potency is due to the compounds having insufficient potency against the enzyme, which can be seen from the low K(m) to K(i) ratio (K(m)=25?nM and K(i)=2.3?nM, respectively).

Mechanism of inactivation of human ribonucleotide reductase with p53R2 by gemcitabine 5'-diphosphate.

Project description:Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) catalyze the conversion of nucleoside 5'-diphosphates to the corresponding deoxynucleotides supplying the dNTPs required for DNA replication and DNA repair. Class I RNRs require two subunits, alpha and beta, for activity. Humans possess two beta subunits: one involved in S phase DNA replication (beta) and a second in mitochondrial DNA replication (beta' or p53R2) and potentially DNA repair. Gemcitabine (F(2)C) is used clinically as an anticancer agent, and its phosphorylated metabolites target many enzymes involved in nucleotide metabolism, including RNR. The present investigation with alpha (specific activity of 400 nmol min(-1) mg(-1)) and beta' (0.6 Y./beta'2 and a specific activity of 420 nmol min(-1) mg(-1)) establishes that F(2)CDP is a substoichiometric inactivator of RNR. Incubation of this alpha/beta' with [1'-(3)H]-F(2)CDP or [5-(3)H]-F(2)CDP and reisolation of the protein by Sephadex G-50 chromatography resulted in recovery 0.5 equiv of covalently bound sugar and 0.03 equiv of tightly associated cytosine to alpha2. SDS-PAGE analysis (loaded without boiling) of the inactivated RNR showed that 60% of alpha migrates as a 90 kDa protein and 40% as a 120 kDa protein. Incubation of [1'-(3)H]-F(2)CDP with active site mutants C444S/A, C218S/A, and E431Q/D-alpha and the C-terminal tail C787S/A and C790S/A mutants reveals that no sugar label is bound to the active site mutants of alpha and that, in the case of C218S-alpha, alpha migrates as a 90 kDa protein. Analysis of the inactivated wt-alpha/beta' RNR by size exclusion chromatography indicates a quaternary structure of alpha6beta'6. A mechanism of inactivation common with halpha/beta is presented.

Structures of eukaryotic ribonucleotide reductase I define gemcitabine diphosphate binding and subunit assembly.

Project description:Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the conversion of nucleoside diphosphates to deoxynucleoside diphosphates. Crucial for rapidly dividing cells, RNR is a target for cancer therapy. In eukaryotes, RNR comprises a heterooligomer of alpha(2) and beta(2) subunits. Rnr1, the alpha subunit, contains regulatory and catalytic sites; Rnr2, the beta subunit (in yeast, a heterodimer of Rnr2 and Rnr4), houses the diferric-tyrosyl radical crucial for catalysis. Here, we present three x-ray structures of eukaryotic Rnr1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae: one bound to gemcitabine diphosphate (GemdP), the active metabolite of the mechanism-based chemotherapeutic agent gemcitabine; one with an Rnr2-derived peptide, and one with an Rnr4-derived peptide. Our structures reveal that GemdP binds differently from its analogue, cytidine diphosphate; because of unusual interactions of the geminal fluorines, the ribose and base of GemdP shift substantially, and loop 2, which mediates substrate specificity, adopts different conformations when binding to GemdP and cytidine diphosphate. The Rnr2 and Rnr4 peptides, which block RNR assembly, bind differently from each other but have unique modes of binding not seen in prokaryotic RNR. The Rnr2 peptide adopts a conformation similar to that previously reported from an NMR study for a mouse Rnr2-based peptide. In yeast, the Rnr2 peptide binds at subsites consisting of residues that are highly conserved among yeast, mouse, and human Rnr1s, suggesting that the mode of Rnr1-Rnr2 binding is conserved among eukaryotes. These structures provide new insights into subunit assembly and a framework for structure-based drug design targeting RNR.

Design, synthesis, biological and structural evaluation of functionalized resveratrol analogues as inhibitors of quinone reductase 2.

Project description:Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxylstilbene) has been proposed to elicit a variety of positive health effects including protection against cancer and cardiovascular disease. The highest affinity target of resveratrol identified so far is the oxidoreductase enzyme quinone reductase 2 (QR2), which is believed to function in metabolic reduction and detoxification processes; however, evidence exists linking QR2 to the metabolic activation of quinones, which can lead to cell toxicity. Therefore, inhibition of QR2 by resveratrol may protect cells against reactive intermediates and eventually cancer. With the aim of identifying novel inhibitors of QR2, we designed, synthesized, and tested two generations of resveratrol analogue libraries for inhibition of QR2. In addition, X-ray crystal structures of six of the resveratrol analogues in the active site of QR2 were determined. Several novel inhibitors of QR2 were successfully identified as well as a compound that inhibits QR2 with a novel binding orientation.

Inhibitors of the Cancer Target Ribonucleotide Reductase, Past and Present.

Project description:Ribonucleotide reductase (RR) is an essential multi-subunit enzyme found in all living organisms; it catalyzes the rate-limiting step in dNTP synthesis, namely, the conversion of ribonucleoside diphosphates to deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates. As expression levels of human RR (hRR) are high during cell replication, hRR has long been considered an attractive drug target for a range of proliferative diseases, including cancer. While there are many excellent reviews regarding the structure, function, and clinical importance of hRR, recent years have seen an increase in novel approaches to inhibiting hRR that merit an updated discussion of the existing inhibitors and strategies to target this enzyme. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms and clinical applications of classic nucleoside analog inhibitors of hRRM1 (large catalytic subunit), including gemcitabine and clofarabine, as well as inhibitors of the hRRM2 (free radical housing small subunit), including triapine and hydroxyurea. Additionally, we discuss novel approaches to targeting RR and the discovery of new classes of hRR inhibitors.

Synthesis and evaluation of indatraline-based inhibitors for trypanothione reductase.

Project description:The search for novel compounds of relevance to the treatment of diseases caused by trypanosomatid protozoan parasites continues. Screening of a large library of known bioactive compounds has led to several drug-like starting points for further optimisation. In this study, novel analogues of the monoamine uptake inhibitor indatraline were prepared and assessed both as inhibitors of trypanothione reductase (TryR) and against the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Although it proved difficult to significantly increase the potency of the original compound as an inhibitor of TryR, some insight into the preferred substituent on the amine group and in the two aromatic rings of the parent indatraline was deduced. In addition, detailed mode of action studies indicated that two of the inhibitors exhibit a mixed mode of inhibition.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel N 4 -substituted sulfonamides: acetamides derivatives as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors.

Project description:Background:Sulfonamide derivatives are of great attention due to their wide spectrum of biological activities. Sulfonamides conjugated with acetamide fragments exhibit antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The inhibition dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is considered as one of the most prominent mechanism though which sulfonamide derivatives exhibits antimicrobial and antitumor activities. Results:In this study, a new series of 2-(arylamino)acetamides and N-arylacetamides containing sulfonamide moieties were designed, synthesized, characterized and assessed for their antimicrobial activity and screened for cytotoxic activity against human lung carcinoma (A-549) and human breast carcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. A molecular docking study was performed to identify the mode of action of the synthesized compounds and their good binding interactions were observed with the active sites of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Conclusion:Most of the synthesized compounds showed significant activity against A-549 and MCF-7 when compared to 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), which was used as a reference drug. Some of these synthesized compounds are active as antibacterial and antifungal agents.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of potent quinoline and pyrroloquinoline ammosamide analogues as inhibitors of quinone reductase 2.

Project description:A variety of ammosamide B analogues have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of quinone reductase 2 (QR2). The potencies of the resulting series of QR2 inhibitors range from 4.1 to 25,200 nM. The data provide insight into the structural parameters necessary for QR2 inhibitory activity. The natural product ammosamide B proved to be a potent QR2 inhibitor, and the potencies of the analogues generally decreased as their structures became more distinct from that of ammosamide B. Methylation of the 8-amino group of ammosamide B was an exception, resulting in an increase in quinone reductase 2 inhibitory activity from an IC(50) of 61 nM to IC(50) 4.1 nM.
