Virtual High-Throughput Screening for Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) is a common method for the fast identification of hit structures at the beginning of a medicinal chemistry program in drug discovery. The SBVS, described in this manuscript, is focused on finding small molecule hits that can be further utilized as a starting point for the development of inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13) via structure-based molecular design. We intended to identify a set of structurally diverse hits, which occupy all subsites (S1'-S3', S2, and S3) centering the zinc containing binding site of MMP-13, by the virtual screening of a chemical library comprising more than ten million commercially available compounds. In total, 23 compounds were found as potential MMP-13 inhibitors using Glide docking followed by the analysis of the structural interaction fingerprints (SIFt) of the docked structures.

Novel yeast bioassay for high-throughput screening of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors.

Project description:Diverse malfunctions in the expression and regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are often the cause of severe human diseases, bringing the identification of specific MMP inhibitors into major focus, particularly in anticancer treatment. Here, we describe a novel bioassay based on recombinant yeast cells (Pichia pastoris) that express, deliver, and incorporate biologically active human MMP-2 and MMP-9 at the yeast cell surface. Using Sed1p for cell wall targeting and covalent anchorage, a highly efficient bioassay was established that allows high-throughput screening and subsequent validation of novel MMP inhibitors as potential anticancer drugs. In addition, we developed a straightforward synthesis of a new aspartate-derived MMP inhibitor active in the nM range and bearing an amino functionality that should allow the introduction of a wide range of side chains to modify the properties of these compounds.

Discovery of novel DNA gyrase inhibitors by high-throughput virtual screening.

Project description:The bacterial type II topoisomerases DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV are validated targets for clinically useful quinolone antimicrobial drugs. A significant limitation to widely utilized quinolone inhibitors is the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria due to an altered DNA gyrase. To address this problem, we have used structure-based molecular docking to identify novel drug-like small molecules that target sites distinct from those targeted by quinolone inhibitors. A chemical ligand database containing approximately 140,000 small molecules (molecular weight, <500) was molecularly docked onto two sites of Escherichia coli DNA gyrase targeting (i) a previously unexplored structural pocket formed at the dimer interface of subunit A and (ii) a small region of the ATP binding pocket on subunit B overlapping the site targeted by coumarin and cyclothialidine drugs. This approach identified several small-molecule compounds that inhibited the DNA supercoiling activity of purified E. coli DNA gyrase. These compounds are structurally unrelated to previously identified gyrase inhibitors and represent potential scaffolds for the optimization of novel antibacterial agents that act on fluoroquinolone-resistant strains.

In silico prediction of SARS protease inhibitors by virtual high throughput screening.

Project description:A structure-based in silico virtual drug discovery procedure was assessed with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus main protease serving as a case study. First, potential compounds were extracted from protein-ligand complexes selected from Protein Data Bank database based on structural similarity to the target protein. Later, the set of compounds was ranked by docking scores using a Electronic High-Throughput Screening flexible docking procedure to select the most promising molecules. The set of best performing compounds was then used for similarity search over the 1 million entries in the Ligand.Info Meta-Database. Selected molecules having close structural relationship to a 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol may provide candidate lead compounds toward the development of novel allosteric severe acute respiratory syndrome protease inhibitors.

Discovery of Mcl-1 inhibitors from integrated high throughput and virtual screening.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) represent important and promising therapeutic targets that are associated with the regulation of various molecular pathways, particularly in cancer. Although they were once considered "undruggable," the recent advances in screening strategies, structure-based design, and elucidating the nature of hot spots on PPI interfaces, have led to the discovery and development of successful small-molecule inhibitors. In this report, we are describing an integrated high-throughput and computational screening approach to enable the discovery of small-molecule PPI inhibitors of the anti-apoptotic protein, Mcl-1. Applying this strategy, followed by biochemical, biophysical, and biological characterization, nineteen new chemical scaffolds were discovered and validated as Mcl-1 inhibitors. A novel series of Mcl-1 inhibitors was designed and synthesized based on the identified difuryl-triazine core scaffold and structure-activity studies were undertaken to improve the binding affinity to Mcl-1. Compounds with improved in vitro binding potency demonstrated on-target activity in cell-based studies. The obtained results demonstrate that structure-based analysis complements the experimental high-throughput screening in identifying novel PPI inhibitor scaffolds and guides follow-up medicinal chemistry efforts. Furthermore, our work provides an example that can be applied to the analysis of available screening data against numerous targets in the PubChem BioAssay Database, leading to the identification of promising lead compounds, fuelling drug discovery pipelines.

Identification of potential Leptospira phosphoheptose isomerase inhibitors through virtual high-throughput screening.

Project description:The life-threatening infections caused by Leptospira serovars demand the need for designing anti-leptospirosis drugs. The present study encompasses exploring inhibitors against phosphoheptose isomerase (GmhA) of Leptospira, which is vital for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis and is identified as a common drug target through the subtractive genomic approach. GmhA model was built in Modeller 9v7. Structural refinement and energy minimization of the predicted model was carried out using Maestro 9.0. The refined model reliability was assessed through Procheck, ProSA, ProQ and Profile 3D. The substrate-based virtual high-throughput screening (VHTS) in Ligand. Info Meta-Database tool generated an in-house library of 354 substrate structural analogs. Furthermore, structure-based VHTS from the in-house library with different conformations of each ligand provided 14 novel competitive inhibitors. The model together with insight gained from the VHTS would be a promising starting point for developing anti-leptospirosis competitive inhibitors targeting LPS biosynthesis pathway.

High-throughput virtual screening and docking studies of matrix protein vp40 of ebola virus.

Project description:Ebolavirus, a member of the Filoviridae family of negative-sense RNA viruses, causes severe haemorrhagic fever leading up to 90% lethality. Ebolavirus matrix protein VP40 is involved in the virus assembly and budding process. The RNA binding pocket of VP40 is considered as the drug target site for structure based drug design. High Throughput Virtual Screening and molecular docking studies were employed to find the suitable inhibitors against VP40. Ten compounds showing good glide score and glide energy as well as interaction with specific amino acid residues were short listed as drug leads. These small molecule inhibitors could be potent inhibitors for VP40 matrix protein by blocking virus assembly and budding process.

Discovery of selective inhibitors against EBNA1 via high throughput in silico virtual screening.

Project description:BackgroundEpstein-Barr Virus (EBV) latent infection is associated with several human malignancies and is a causal agent of lymphoproliferative diseases during immunosuppression. While inhibitors of herpesvirus DNA polymerases, like gancyclovir, reduce EBV lytic cycle infection, these treatments have limited efficacy for treating latent infection. EBNA1 is an EBV-encoded DNA-binding protein required for viral genome maintenance during latent infection.MethodologyHere, we report the identification of a new class of small molecules that inhibit EBNA1 DNA binding activity. These compounds were identified by virtual screening of 90,000 low molecular mass compounds using computational docking programs with the solved crystal structure of EBNA1. Four structurally related compounds were found to inhibit EBNA1-DNA binding in biochemical assays with purified EBNA1 protein. Compounds had a range of 20-100 microM inhibition of EBNA1 in fluorescence polarization assays and were further validated for inhibition using electrophoresis mobility shift assays. These compounds exhibited no significant inhibition of an unrelated DNA binding protein. Three of these compounds inhibited EBNA1 transcription activation function in cell-based assays and reduced EBV genome copy number when incubated with a Burkitt lymphoma cell line.ConclusionsThese experiments provide a proof-of-principle that virtual screening can be used to identify specific inhibitors of EBNA1 that may have potential for treatment of EBV latent infection.

Inhibitors of the Yersinia protein tyrosine phosphatase through high throughput and virtual screening approaches.

Project description:The bacterial protein tyrosine phosphatase YopH is an essential virulence determinant in Yersinia pestis and a potential antibacterial drug target. Here we report our studies of screening for small molecule inhibitors of YopH using both high throughput and in silico approaches. The identified inhibitors represent a diversity of chemotypes and novel pTyr mimetics, providing a starting point for further development and fragment-based design of multi-site binding inhibitors. We demonstrate that the applications of high throughput and virtual screening, when guided by structural binding mode analysis, is an effective approach for identifying potent and selective inhibitors of YopH and other protein phosphatases for rational drug design.

Discovery of novel Mnk inhibitors using mutation-based induced-fit virtual high-throughput screening.

Project description:Mnk kinases (Mnk1 and 2) are downstream effectors of Map kinase pathways and regulate phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E. Engagement of the Mnk pathway is critical in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) leukemogenesis and Mnk inhibitors have potent antileukemic properties in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that targeting Mnk kinases may provide a novel approach for treating AML. Here, we report the development and application of a mutation-based induced-fit in silico screen to identify novel Mnk inhibitors. The Mnk1 structure was modeled by temporarily mutating an amino acid that obstructs the ATP-binding site in the Mnk1 crystal structure while carrying out docking simulations of known inhibitors. The hit compounds display activity in Mnk biochemical and cellular assays, including acute myeloid leukemia progenitors. This approach will enable further rational structure-based drug design of new Mnk inhibitors and potentially novel ways of therapeutically targeting this kinase.
