Development of Potent Inhibitors of Botulinum Neurotoxin Type B
摘要:
Botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins known to date. They are zinc-metalloproteases able to cleave selectively an essential component of neurotransmitter exocytosis, causing the syndrome of botulism characterized by a flaccid paralysis. There is a great interest in designing antagonists of the action of these toxins. One way is to inhibit their catalytic activity. In this study, we report the design of such inhibitors directed toward BoNT/B. A study of the S-1 subsite specificity, using several beta-amino thiols, has shown that this subsite prefers a p-carboxybenzyl moiety. The specificity of the S-1' and S-2' subsites was studied using two libraries of pseudotripeptides containing the S-1 synthon derived from the best beta-amino thiol tested. Finally, a selection of various non natural amino acids for the recognition of the "prime" domain led to the most potent inhibitor of BoNT/B described to date with a K-i value of 20 nM.

drug-resistant rates. In an attempt to develop new antitubercular agents, 35 compounds were synthesized, most of them bearing a carbamate and enantiopure aminoacid moiety. These compounds had their activity evaluated toward a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain (ATCC 27294) and cytotoxicity against fibroblast MRC-5 cells (ATCC CCL-171). Three of the prepared derivatives presented a good antimicrobial inhibition

Activation of protease activated receptor 2 (PAR2) has been implicated in inflammatory and metabolic disorders and its inhibition may yield novel therapeutics. Here, we report a series of PAR2 antagonists based on C-terminal capping of 5-isoxazolyl-L-cyclohexylalanine-L-isoleucine, with benzylamine analogues being effective new PAR2 antagonists. 5-Isoxazolyl-L-cyclohexylalanine-L-isoleucine-2-methoxy-benzylamine (10) inhibited PAR2-, but not PAR1-, induced release of Ca2+ (IC50 0.5 mu M) in human colon cells, IL-6 and TNF alpha secretion (IC50 1-5 mu M) from human kidney cells, and was anti-inflammatory in acute rat paw inflammation (ED50 5 mg/kg sc). These findings show that new benzylamide antagonists of PAR2 have anti-inflammatory activity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
