Exploring DOXP-reductoisomerase binding limits using phosphonated N-aryl and N-heteroarylcarboxamides as DXR inhibitors
摘要:
DOXP-reductoisomerase (DXR) is a validated target for the development of antimalarial drugs to address the increase in resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Series of aryl- and heteroarylcarbamoylphosphonic acids, their diethyl esters and disodium salts have been prepared as analogues of the potent DXR inhibitor fosmidomycin. The effects of the carboxamide N-substituents and the length of the methylene linker have been explored using in silico docking studies, saturation transfer difference NMR spectroscopy and enzyme inhibition assays using both EcDXR and PfDXR. These studies indicate an optimal linker length of two methylene units and have confirmed the importance of an additional binding pocket in the PfDXR active site. Insights into the constraints of the PfDXR binding site provide additional scope for the rational design of DXR inhibitors with increased ligand-receptor interactions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

1H and 31P NMR methods have been used to access rate constants and activation parameters for each of the consecutive second-order silylation reactions involved in the overall transformation (1a→3a→4a), while computational optimisation of the rate constants obtained from the initial, linear phase of each reaction has permitted an excellent fit with the experimental data for the entire course of the
1 H和31 P NMR方法已用于访问参与整体转化(1a → 3a → 4a)的每个连续二阶甲硅烷基化反应的速率常数和活化参数,同时对从每个反应的初始线性阶段都非常适合整个反应过程的实验数据。
