Molecular Dynamics Exploration of Selectivity of Dual Inhibitors 5M7, 65X, and 65Z toward Fatty Acid Binding Proteins 4 and 5.

ABSTRACT: Designing highly selective inhibitors of fatty acid binding proteins 4 and 5 (FABP4 and FABP5) is of importance for treatment of some diseases related with inflammation, metabolism, and tumor growth. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) method were performed to probe binding selectivity of three inhibitors (5M7, 65X, and 65Z) to FABP4/FABP5 with Ki values of 0.022/0.50 ?M, 0.011/0.086 ?M, and 0.016/0.12 ?M, respectively. The results not only suggest that all inhibitors associate more tightly with FABP4 than FABP5, but also prove that the main forces driving the selective bindings of inhibitors to FABP4 and FABP5 stem from the difference in the van der Waals interactions and polar interactions of inhibitors with two proteins. Meanwhile, a residue-based free energy decomposition method was applied to reveal molecular basis that inhibitors selectively interact with individual residues of two different proteins. The calculated results show that the binding difference of inhibitors to the residues (Phe16, Phe19), (Ala33, Gly36), (Phe57, Leu60), (Ala75, Ala78), (Arg126, Arg129), and (Tyr128, Tyr131) in (FABP4, FABP5) drive the selectivity of inhibitors toward FABP4 and FABP5. This study will provide great help for further design of effective drugs to protect against a series of metabolic diseases, arteriosclerosis, and inflammation.

Project description:Fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) is a highly promising target for the development of analgesics as its inhibition is devoid of CB1R-dependent side-effects. The design and discovery of highly potent and FABP5-selective truxillic acid (TA) monoesters (TAMEs) is the primary aim of the present study. On the basis of molecular docking analysis, ca. 2,000 TAMEs were designed and screened in silico, to funnel down to 55 new TAMEs, which were synthesized and assayed for their affinity (Ki) to FABP5, 3 and 7. The SAR study revealed that the introduction of H-bond acceptors to the far end of the 1,1'-biphenyl-3-yl and 1,1'-biphenyl-2-yl ester moieties improved the affinity of α-TAMEs to FABP5. Compound γ-3 is the first γ-TAME, demonstrating a high affinity to FABP5 and competing with α-TAMEs. We identified the best 20 TAMEs based on the FABP5/3 selectivity index. The clear front runner is α-16, bearing a 2‑indanyl ester moiety. In sharp contrast, no ε-TAMEs made the top 20 in this list. However, α-19 and ε-202, have been identified as potent FABP3-selective inhibitors for applications related to their possible use in the protection of cardiac myocytes and the reduction of α-synuclein accumulation in Parkinson's disease. Among the best 20 TAMEs selected based on the affinity to FABP7, 13 out of 20 TAMEs were found to be FABP7-selective, with α-21 as the most selective. This study identified several TAMEs as FABP7-selective inhibitors, which would have potentially beneficial therapeutic effects in diseases such as Down's syndrome, schizophrenia, breast cancer, and astrocytoma. We successfully introduced the α-TA monosilyl ester (TAMSE)-mediated protocol to dramatically improve the overall yields of α-TAMEs. α-TAMSEs with TBDPS as the silyl group is isolated in good yields and unreacted α-TA/ α-MeO-TA, as well as disilyl esters (α-TADSEs) are fully recycled. Molecular docking analysis provided rational explanations for the observed binding affinity and selectivity of the FABP3, 5 and 7 inhibitors, including their α, γ and ε isomers, in this study.
