Identifying Chelators for Metalloprotein Inhibitors Using a Fragment-Based Approach
摘要:
Fragment-based lead design (FBLD) has been used to identify new metal-binding groups for metalloenzyme inhibitors. When screened at 1 mM, a chelator fragment library (CFL-1.1) of 96 compounds produced hit rates ranging from 29% to 43% for five matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), 24% for anthrax lethal factor (LF), 49% for 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), and 60% for tyrosinase (TY). The ligand efficiencies (LE) of the fragment hits are excellent, in the range of 0.4-0.8 kcal/mol. The MMP enzymes all generally elicit the same chelators as hits from CFL-1.1; however, the chelator fragments that inhibit structurally unrelated metalloenzymes (LF, 5-LO, TY) vary considerably. To develop more advanced hits, one hit from CFL-1.1, 8-hydroxyquinoline, was elaborated at four different positions around the ring system to generate new fragments. 8-Hydroxyquinoline fragments substituted at either the 5- or 7-positions gave potent hits against MMP-2, with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. The 8-hydroxyquinoline represents a promising new chelator scaffold for the development of MMP inhibitors that was discovered by use of a metalloprotein-focused chelator fragment library.

The present disclosure provides compounds having the general structure A or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof:
R—X (A)
wherein R is an alkyl or aryl moiety comprising heterocyclic structures; and X is a metal-chelatin group selected from:
This disclosure further provides a focused library of compounds for use in the discovery and design of metallo-enzyme inhibitors. This fragment-based approach provides an assembly of a library of low molecular weight compounds (MW<300 Da) containing a variety of potential metal-chelating groups. The identification of the inhibitory scaffolds among these compounds provides the initial hit fragments that may be optimized for affinity against a particular target using common medicinal chemistry, structure-based or NMR-based approaches.
