Pipecolic Acid Derivatives As Small-Molecule Inhibitors of the Legionella MIP Protein
摘要:
The macrophage infectivity potentiator (MIP) protein is a major virulence factor of Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease MIP belongs to the FK506-binding proteins (FKBP) and is necessary for optimal intracellular survival and lung tissue dissemination of L pneumophila We aimed to identify new small-molecule inhibitors of MIP by starting from known FKBP12 ligands Computational analysis, synthesis, and biological testing of pipecolic acid derivatives revealed a promising scaffold for new MIP inhibitors

A small molecule containing a rhodium(II) tetracarboxylate fragment is shown to be a potent inhibitor of the prolyl isomerase FKBP12. The use of small molecules conjugates of rhodium(II) is presented as a general strategy for developing new protein inhibitors based on distinct structural and sequence features of the enzyme active site.
