Structure-kinetic relationships that control the residence time of drug-target complexes: insights from molecular structure and dynamics.

ABSTRACT: Time-dependent target occupancy is a function of both the thermodynamics and kinetics of drug-target interactions. However, while the optimization of thermodynamic affinity through approaches such as structure-based drug design is now relatively straight forward, less is understood about the molecular interactions that control the kinetics of drug complex formation and breakdown since this depends on both the ground and transition state energies on the binding reaction coordinate. In this opinion we highlight several recent examples that shed light on current approaches that are elucidating the factors that control the life-time of the drug-target complex.

Drug-Target Residence Time Affects in Vivo Target Occupancy through Multiple Pathways.

Project description:The drug discovery and development process is greatly hampered by difficulties in translating in vitro potency to in vivo efficacy. Recent studies suggest that the long-neglected drug-target residence time parameter complements classical drug affinity parameters (K I, K d, IC50, or EC50) and is a better predictor of in vivo efficacy. Compounds with a long drug-target residence time are often more efficacious in vivo. The impact, however, of the drug-target residence time on in vivo efficacy remains controversial due to difficulties in experimentally determining the in vivo target occupancy during drug treatment. To tackle this problem, an in vivo displacement assay was developed using soluble epoxide hydrolase as a biological model. In this report, we experimentally demonstrated that drug-target residence time affects the duration of in vivo drug-target binding. In addition, the drug-target residence time plays an important role in modulating the rate of drug metabolism which also affects the efficacy of the drug.

Correlating Drug-Target Residence Time and Post-antibiotic Effect: Insight into Target Vulnerability.

Project description:Target vulnerability correlates the level of drug-target engagement required to generate a pharmacological response. High vulnerability targets are those that require only a relatively small fraction of occupancy to achieve the desired pharmacological outcome, whereas low vulnerability targets require high levels of engagement. Here, we demonstrate that the slope of the correlation between drug-target residence time and the post-antibiotic effect (PAE) can be used to define the vulnerability of bacterial targets. For macrolides, a steep slope is observed between residence time on the E. coli ribosome and the PAE, indicating that the ribosome is a highly vulnerable drug target. The analysis of the residence time-PAE data for erythromycin, azithromycin, spiramycin, and telithromycin using a mechanistic pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model that integrates drug-target kinetics into predictions of drug activity lead to the successful prediction of the cellular PAE for tylosin, which has the longest residence time (7.1 h) and PAE (5.8 h). Although the macrolide data support a connection between residence time, PAE, and bactericidality, many bactericidal β-lactam antibiotics do not give a PAE, illustrating the role of factors such as protein resynthesis in the expression of target vulnerability.

Rational optimization of drug-target residence time: insights from inhibitor binding to the Staphylococcus aureus FabI enzyme-product complex.

Project description:Drug-target kinetics has recently emerged as an especially important facet of the drug discovery process. In particular, prolonged drug-target residence times may confer enhanced efficacy and selectivity in the open in vivo system. However, the lack of accurate kinetic and structural data for a series of congeneric compounds hinders the rational design of inhibitors with decreased off-rates. Therefore, we chose the Staphylococcus aureus enoyl-ACP reductase (saFabI)--an important target for the development of new anti-staphylococcal drugs--as a model system to rationalize and optimize the drug-target residence time on a structural basis. Using our new, efficient, and widely applicable mechanistically informed kinetic approach, we obtained a full characterization of saFabI inhibition by a series of 20 diphenyl ethers complemented by a collection of 9 saFabI-inhibitor crystal structures. We identified a strong correlation between the affinities of the investigated saFabI diphenyl ether inhibitors and their corresponding residence times, which can be rationalized on a structural basis. Because of its favorable interactions with the enzyme, the residence time of our most potent compound exceeds 10 h. In addition, we found that affinity and residence time in this system can be significantly enhanced by modifications predictable by a careful consideration of catalysis. Our study provides a blueprint for investigating and prolonging drug-target kinetics and may aid in the rational design of long-residence-time inhibitors targeting the essential saFabI enzyme.

Target-based drug discovery through inversion of quantitative structure-drug-property relationships and molecular simulation: CA IX-sulphonamide complexes.

Project description:In this work, a target-based drug screening method is proposed exploiting the synergy effect of ligand-based and structure-based computer-assisted drug design. The new method provides great flexibility in drug design and drug candidates with considerably lower risk in an efficient manner. As a model system, 45 sulphonamides (33 training, 12 testing ligands) in complex with carbonic anhydrase IX were used for development of quantitative structure-activity-lipophilicity (property)-relationships (QSPRs). For each ligand, nearly 5,000 molecular descriptors were calculated, while lipophilicity (logkw) and inhibitory activity (logKi) were used as drug properties. Genetic algorithm-partial least squares (GA-PLS) provided a QSPR model with high prediction capability employing only seven molecular descriptors. As a proof-of-concept, optimal drug structure was obtained by inverting the model with respect to reference drug properties. 3509 ligands were ranked accordingly. Top 10 ligands were further validated through molecular docking. Large-scale MD simulations were performed to test the stability of structures of selected ligands obtained through docking complemented with biophysical experiments.

Target engagement and drug residence time can be observed in living cells with BRET.

Project description:The therapeutic action of drugs is predicated on their physical engagement with cellular targets. Here we describe a broadly applicable method using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) to reveal the binding characteristics of a drug with selected targets within intact cells. Cell-permeable fluorescent tracers are used in a competitive binding format to quantify drug engagement with the target proteins fused to Nanoluc luciferase. The approach enabled us to profile isozyme-specific engagement and binding kinetics for a panel of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. Our analysis was directed particularly to the clinically approved prodrug FK228 (Istodax/Romidepsin) because of its unique and largely unexplained mechanism of sustained intracellular action. Analysis of the binding kinetics by BRET revealed remarkably long intracellular residence times for FK228 at HDAC1, explaining the protracted intracellular behaviour of this prodrug. Our results demonstrate a novel application of BRET for assessing target engagement within the complex milieu of the intracellular environment.

Acetylation reprograms MITF target selectivity and residence time

Project description:Key to effective gene regulation in development and homeostasis is the ability of transcription factors to discriminate between different classes of binding sites. Yet how this is achieved is poorly understood. The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor MITF is a lineage-survival oncogene that plays a crucial role in melanoma and melanocyte development where it suppresses invasion but promotes both proliferation and differentiation. How MITF distinguishes between differentiation and proliferation-associated targets is unknown. Unexpectedly we show here that differentiation-associated target genes are characterized by low affinity MITF binding sites. MAPK signaling, a key driver of melanomagenesis downstream from BRAF and NRAS, promotes p300/CBP-mediated MITF acetylation at K206 to reduce preferentially DNA binding affinity at differentiation-associated targets. The results reveal a MAPK-driven acetylation switch that can trigger de-differentiation of melanocytes and provide a mechanistic explanation of why a human K206Q MITF mutation is associated with Waardenburg’s syndrome characterized by pigmentation abnormalities.

Structure-guided residence time optimization of a dabigatran reversal agent.

Project description:Novel oral anticoagulants are effective and safe alternatives to vitamin-K antagonists for anticoagulation therapy. However, anticoagulation therapy in general is associated with an elevated risk of bleeding. Idarucizumab is a reversal agent for the direct thrombin inhibitor, dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa®) and is currently in Phase 3 studies. Here, we report data on the antibody fragment aDabi-Fab2, a putative backup molecule for idarucizumab. Although aDabi-Fab2 completely reversed effects of dabigatran in a rat model in vivo, we observed significantly reduced duration of action compared to idarucizumab. Rational protein engineering, based on the X-ray structure of aDabi-Fab2, led to the identification of mutant Y103W. The mutant had optimized shape complementarity to dabigatran while maintaining an energetically favored hydrogen bond. It displayed increased affinity for dabigatran, mainly driven by a slower off-rate. Interestingly, the increased residence time translated into longer duration of action in vivo. It was thus possible to further enhance the efficacy of aDabi-Fab2 based on rational design, giving it the potential to serve as a back-up candidate for idarucizumab.

Correlating Drug-Target Kinetics and <i>In vivo</i> Pharmacodynamics: Long Residence Time Inhibitors of the FabI Enoyl-ACP Reductase.

Project description:Drug-target kinetics enable time-dependent changes in target engagement to be quantified as a function of drug concentration. When coupled to drug pharmacokinetics (PK), drug-target kinetics can thus be used to predict in vivo pharmacodynamics (PD). Previously we described a mechanistic PK/PD model that successfully predicted the antibacterial activity of an LpxC inhibitor in a model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. In the present work we demonstrate that the same approach can be used to predict the in vivo activity of an enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI) inhibitor in a model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. This is significant because the LpxC inhibitors are cidal, whereas the FabI inhibitors are static. In addition P. aeruginosa is a Gram-negative organism whereas MRSA is Gram-positive. Thus this study supports the general applicability of our modeling approach across antibacterial space.

Structure-function relationships in ABCG2: insights from molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking studies.

Project description:Efflux pumps of the ATP-binding cassette transporters superfamily (ABC transporters) are frequently involved in the multidrug-resistance (MDR) phenomenon in cancer cells. Herein, we describe a new atomistic model for the MDR-related ABCG2 efflux pump, also named breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), based on the recently published crystallographic structure of the ABCG5/G8 heterodimer sterol transporter, a member of the ABCG family involved in cholesterol homeostasis. By means of molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking, a far-reaching characterization of the ABCG2 homodimer was obtained. The role of important residues and motifs in the structural stability of the transporter was comprehensively studied and was found to be in good agreement with the available experimental data published in literature. Moreover, structural motifs potentially involved in signal transmission were identified, along with two symmetrical drug-binding sites that are herein described for the first time, in a rational attempt to better understand how drug binding and recognition occurs in ABCG2 homodimeric transporters.

Structure-Function Relationships in the Human P-Glycoprotein (ABCB1): Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

Project description:P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) is a transmembrane protein belonging to the ATP binding cassette superfamily of transporters, and it is a xenobiotic efflux pump that limits intracellular drug accumulation by pumping compounds out of cells. P-gp contributes to a reduction in toxicity, and has broad substrate specificity. It is involved in the failure of many cancer and antiviral chemotherapies due to the phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR), in which the membrane transporter removes chemotherapeutic drugs from target cells. Understanding the details of the ligand-P-gp interaction is therefore critical for the development of drugs that can overcome the MDR phenomenon, for the early identification of P-gp substrates that will help us to obtain a more effective prediction of toxicity, and for the subsequent outdesign of substrate properties if needed. In this work, a series of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of human P-gp (hP-gp) in an explicit membrane-and-water environment were performed to investigate the effects of binding different compounds on the conformational dynamics of P-gp. The results revealed significant differences in the behaviour of P-gp in the presence of active and non-active compounds within the binding pocket, as different patterns of movement were identified that could be correlated with conformational changes leading to the activation of the translocation mechanism. The predicted ligand-P-gp interactions are in good agreement with the available experimental data, as well as the estimation of the binding-free energies of the studied complexes, demonstrating the validity of the results derived from the MD simulations.
