Discovering novel quercetin-3-O-amino acid-esters as a new class of Src tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Quercetin-3-O-amino acid-esters, a new type of quercetin derivatives, were successfully prepared for the first time. Different from quercetin, the novel compounds show higher selectivity as inhibitors against Src tyrosine kinase (IC(50) values ranging from 3.2 microM to 9.9 microM) than against EGFR tyrosine kinase. Molecular docking reveals that both hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions are important to the selectivity. Therefore, this study provides a new promising scaffold for further development of new anticancer drugs targeting Src tyrosine kinase.

Project description:Protein kinases are enzymes that catalyze the covalent transfer of the γ-phosphate of an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule onto a tyrosine, serine, threonine, or histidine residue in the substrate and thus send a chemical signal to networks of downstream proteins. They are important cellular signaling enzymes that regulate cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, differentiation, and migration. Unregulated protein kinase activity is often associated with a wide range of diseases, therefore making protein kinases major therapeutic targets. A prototypical system of central interest to understand the regulation of kinase activity is provided by tyrosine kinase c-Src, which belongs to the family of Src-related non-receptor tyrosine kinases (SFKs). Although the broad picture of autoinhibition via the regulatory domains and via the phosphorylation of the C-terminal tail is well characterized from a structural point of view, a detailed mechanistic understanding at the atomic-level is lacking. Advanced computational methods based on all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to advance our understanding of tyrosine kinase activation. The computational studies suggest that the isolated kinase domain (KD) is energetically most favorable in the inactive conformation when the activation loop (A-loop) of the KD is not phosphorylated. The KD makes transient visits to a catalytically competent active-like conformation. The process of bimolecular trans-autophosphorylation of the A-loop eventually locks the KD in the active state. Activating point mutations may act by slightly increasing the population of the active-like conformation, enhancing the availability of the A-loop to be phosphorylated. The Src-homology 2 (SH2) and Src-homology 3 (SH3) regulatory domains, depending upon their configuration, either promote the inactive or the active state of the kinase domain. In addition to the roles played by the SH3, SH2, and KD, the Src-homology 4-Unique domain (SH4-U) region also serves as a key moderator of substrate specificity and kinase function. Thus, a fundamental understanding of the conformational propensity of the SH4-U region and how this affects the association to the membrane surface are likely to lead to the discovery of new intermediate states and alternate strategies for inhibition of kinase activity for drug discovery. The existence of a multitude of KD conformations poses a great challenge aimed at the design of specific inhibitors. One promising computational strategy to explore the conformational flexibility of the KD is to construct Markov state models from aggregated MD data.
