Orthogonal functionalisation of ?-helix mimetics.

ABSTRACT: ?-Helix mediated protein-protein interactions are of major therapeutic importance. As such, the design of inhibitors of this class of interaction is of significant interest. We present methodology to modify N-alkylated aromatic oligoamide ?-helix mimetics using 'click' chemistry. The effect is shown to modulate the binding properties of a series of selective p53/hDM2 inhibitors.

Aromatic Foldamer Helices as ?-Helix Extended Surface Mimetics.

Project description:Helically folded aromatic oligoamide foldamers have a size and geometrical parameters very distinct from those of ?-helices and are not obvious candidates for ?-helix mimicry. Nevertheless, they offer multiple sites for attaching side chains. It was found that some arrays of side chains at the surface of an aromatic helix make it possible to mimic extended ?-helical surfaces. Synthetic methods were developed to produce quinoline monomers suitably functionalized for solid phase synthesis. A dodecamer was prepared. Its crystal structure validated the initial design and showed helix bundling involving the ?-helix-like interface. These results open up new uses of aromatic helices to recognize protein surfaces and to program helix bundling in water.

Probing Protein Surfaces: QSAR Analysis with Helix Mimetics.

Project description:α-Helix-mediated protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are important targets for small-molecule inhibition; however, generic approaches to inhibitor design are in their infancy and would benefit from QSAR analyses to rationalise the noncovalent basis of molecular recognition by designed ligands. Using a helix mimetic based on an oligoamide scaffold, we have exploited the power of a modular synthesis to access compounds that can readily be used to understand the noncovalent determinants of hDM2 recognition by this series of cell-active p53/hDM2 inhibitors.

In vivo modulation of hypoxia-inducible signaling by topographical helix mimetics.

Project description:Development of small-molecule inhibitors of protein-protein interactions is a fundamental challenge at the interface of chemistry and cancer biology. Successful methods for design of protein-protein interaction inhibitors include computational and experimental high-throughput and fragment-based screening strategies to locate small-molecule fragments that bind protein surfaces. An alternative rational design approach seeks to mimic the orientation and disposition of critical binding residues at protein interfaces. We describe the design, synthesis, biochemical, and in vivo evaluation of a small-molecule scaffold that captures the topography of ?-helices. We designed mimics of a key ?-helical domain at the interface of hypoxia-inducible factor 1? and p300 to develop inhibitors of hypoxia-inducible signaling. The hypoxia-inducible factor/p300 interaction regulates the transcription of key genes, whose expression contributes to angiogenesis, metastasis, and altered energy metabolism in cancer. The designed compounds target the desired protein with high affinity and in a predetermined manner, with the optimal ligand providing effective reduction of tumor burden in experimental animal models.

Novel pyrrolopyrimidine-based ?-helix mimetics: cell-permeable inhibitors of protein?protein interactions.

Project description:There is considerable interest in developing non-peptidic, small-molecule ?-helix mimetics to disrupt ?-helix-mediated protein?protein interactions. Herein, we report the design of a novel pyrrolopyrimidine-based scaffold for such ?-helix mimetics with increased conformational rigidity. We also developed a facile solid-phase synthetic route that is amenable to divergent synthesis of a large library. Using a fluorescence polarization-based assay, we identified cell-permeable, dual MDMX/MDM2 inhibitors, demonstrating that the designed molecules can act as ?-helix mimetics.

Design, Synthesis, and Conformational Analysis of Oligobenzanilides as Multifacial α-Helix Mimetics.

Project description:The design, synthesis, and conformational analysis of an oligobenzanilide helix mimetic scaffold capable of simultaneous mimicry of two faces of an α-helix is reported. The synthetic methodology provides access to diverse monomer building blocks amenable to solid-phase assembly in just four synthetic steps. The conformational flexibility of model dimers was investigated using a combination of solid and solution state methodologies supplemented with DFT calculations. The lack of noncovalent constraints allows for significant conformational plasticity in the scaffold, thus permitting it to successfully mimic residues i, i+2, i+4, i+6, i+7, and i+9 of a canonical α-helix.

Mini review: protein-protein interactions in transcription: a fertile ground for helix mimetics.

Project description:Designed ligands that inhibit protein-protein interactions involved in gene expression are valuable as reagents for genomics research and as leads for drug discovery efforts. Selective modulation of protein-protein interactions has proven to be a daunting task for synthetic ligands; however, the last decade has seen significant advances in inhibitor design, especially for helical protein interfaces. This review discusses examples of transcriptional complexes targeted by designer helices.

Perturbation of the c-Myc-Max protein-protein interaction via synthetic α-helix mimetics.

Project description:The rational design of inhibitors of the bHLH-ZIP oncoprotein c-Myc is hampered by a lack of structure in its monomeric state. We describe herein the design of novel, low-molecular-weight, synthetic α-helix mimetics that recognize helical c-Myc in its transcriptionally active coiled-coil structure in association with its obligate bHLH-ZIP partner Max. These compounds perturb the heterodimer's binding to its canonical E-box DNA sequence without causing protein-protein dissociation, heralding a new mechanistic class of "direct" c-Myc inhibitors. In addition to electrophoretic mobility shift assays, this model was corroborated by further biophysical methods, including NMR spectroscopy and surface plasmon resonance. Several compounds demonstrated a 2-fold or greater selectivity for c-Myc-Max heterodimers over Max-Max homodimers with IC50 values as low as 5.6 μM. Finally, these compounds inhibited the proliferation of c-Myc-expressing cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner that correlated with the loss of expression of a c-Myc-dependent reporter plasmid despite the fact that c-Myc-Max heterodimers remained intact.

Towards more drug-like proteomimetics: two-faced, synthetic ?-helix mimetics based on a purine scaffold.

Project description:Mimicry of two faces of an ?-helix might yield more potent and more selective inhibitors of aberrant, helix-mediated protein-protein interactions (PPI). Herein, we demonstrate that a 2,6,9-tri-substituted purine is capable of disrupting the Mcl-1-Bak-BH3 PPI through effective mimicry of key residues on opposing faces of the Bak-BH3 ?-helix.

Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic Ratio of Amphiphilic Helix Mimetics Determines the Effects on Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Aggregation.

Project description:Amyloid depositions of human islet amyloid polypeptides (hIAPP) are associated with type II diabetes (T2D) impacting millions of people globally. Accordingly, strategies against hIAPP aggregation are essential for the prevention and eventual treatment of the disease. Helix mimetics, which modulate the protein-protein interaction by mimicking the side chain residues of a natural α-helix, were found to be a promising strategy for inhibiting hIAPP aggregation. Here, we applied molecular dynamics simulations to investigate two helix mimetics reported to have opposite effects on hIAPP aggregation in solution, the oligopyridylamide-based scaffold 1e promoted, whereas naphthalimide-appended oligopyridylamide scaffold DM 1 inhibited the aggregation of hIAPP in solution. We found that 1e promoted hIAPP aggregation because of the recruiting effects through binding with the N-termini of hIAPP peptides. In contrast, DM 1 with a higher hydrophobic/hydrophilic ratio effectively inhibited hIAPP aggregation by strongly binding with the C-termini of hIAPP peptides, which competed for the interpeptide contacts between amyloidogenic regions in the C-termini and impaired the fibrillization of hIAPP. Structural analyses revealed that DM 1 formed the core of hIAPP-DM 1 complexes and stabilized the off-pathway oligomers, whereas 1e formed the corona outside the hIAPP-1e complexes and remained active in recruiting free hIAPP peptides. The distinct interaction mechanisms of DM 1 and 1e, together with other reported potent antagonists in the literature, emphasized the effective small molecule-based amyloid inhibitors by disrupting peptide interactions that should reach a balanced hydrophobic/hydrophilic ratio, providing a viable and generic strategy for the rational design of novel anti-amyloid nanomedicine.
