In silico study of 4-phosphorylated derivatives of 1,3-oxazole as inhibitors of Candida albicans fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase II.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the synthesis, in vitro anti-Candida activity and molecular modeling of 4-phosphorylated derivatives of 1,3-oxazole as inhibitors of Candida albicans fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA-II) are demonstrated and discussed. Significant similarity of the primary and secondary structure, binding sites and active sites of FBA-II C. albicans and Mycobacterium tuberculosis are established. FBA-II C. albicans inhibitors contained 1,3-oxazole-4-phosphonates moiety are created by analogy to inhibitors FBA-II M. tuberculosis. The experimental studies of the anti-Candida activity of the designed and synthesized compounds have shown their high activity against standard strain and its C. albicans fluconazole resistant clinical isolate. It was hypothesized that the growth suppression of fluconazole-resistant ?. albicans strain may be due to the inhibition of aldolase fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. A qualitative homology 3D model of the C. albicans FBA-II was created using SWISS-MODEL server. The probable mechanism of FBA-II inhibition by studied 4-phosphorylated derivatives was shown using molecular docking. The main role of amino acid residues His110, His226, Gly227, Leu248, Val238, Asp144, Lys230, Glu147, Gly227, Ala112, Leu145 and catalytic zinc atom in the formation of stable ligand-protein complexes with ?G = -6.89, -7.2, -7.16, -7.5, -8.0, -7.9 kcal/mol was shown. Thus, the positive results obtained in the work were demonstrated the promise of using the proposed homology 3D model of the C. albicans FBA-II as the target for the search and development of new anti-Candida agents against azole-resistant fungal pathogens. Designed and studied 4-phosphorylated derivatives of 1,3-oxazole having a direct inhibiting FBA-II molecular mechanism of action can be used as perspective drug-candidates against resistant C. albicans strains.

Project description:Giardia lamblia fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBPA) is a member of the class II zinc-dependent aldolase family that catalyzes the cleavage of d-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) into dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). In addition to the active site zinc, the catalytic apparatus of FBPA employs an aspartic acid, Asp83 in the G. lamblia enzyme, which when replaced with an alanine residue renders the enzyme inactive. A comparison of the crystal structures of D83A FBPA in complex with FBP and of wild-type FBPA in the unbound state revealed a substrate-induced conformational transition of loops in the vicinity of the active site and a shift in the location of Zn(2+). When FBP binds, the Zn(2+) shifts up to 4.6 A toward the catalytic Asp83, which brings the metal within coordination distance of the Asp83 carboxylate group. In addition, the structure of wild-type FBPA was determined in complex with the competitive inhibitor d-tagatose 1,6-bisphosphate (TBP), a FBP stereoisomer. In this structure, the zinc binds in a site close to that previously seen in the structure of FBPA in complex with phosphoglycolohydroxamate, an analogue of the postulated DHAP ene-diolate intermediate. Together, the ensemble of structures suggests that the zinc mobility is necessary to orient the Asp83 side chain and to polarize the substrate for proton transfer from the FBP C(4) hydroxyl group to the Asp83 carboxyl group. In the absence of FBP, the alternative zinc position is too remote for coordinating the Asp83. We propose a modification of the catalytic mechanism that incorporates the novel features observed in the FBPA-FBP structure. The mechanism invokes coordination and coplanarity of the Zn(2+) with the FBP's O-C(3)-C(4)-O group concomitant with coordination of the Asp83 carboxylic group. Catalysis is accompanied by movement of Zn(2+) to a site coplanar with the O-C(2)-C(3)-O group of the DHAP. glFBPA exhibits strict substrate specificity toward FBP and does not cleave TBP. The active sites of FBPAs contain an aspartate residue equivalent to Asp255 of glFBPA, whereas tagatose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase contains an alanine in this position. We and others hypothesized that this aspartic acid is a likely determinant of FBP versus TBP specificity. Replacement of Asp255 with an alanine resulted in an enzyme that possesses double specificity, now cleaving TBP (albeit with low efficacy; k(cat)/K(m) = 80 M(-1) s(-1)) while maintaining activity toward FBP at a 50-fold lower catalytic efficacy compared with that of wild-type FBPA. The collection of structures and sequence analyses highlighted additional residues that may be involved in substrate discrimination.
