Identification of non-peptidic cysteine reactive fragments as inhibitors of cysteine protease rhodesain
摘要:
Rhodesain, the major cathepsin L-like cysteine protease in the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness, is a well-validated drug target. In this work, we used a fragment-based approach to identify inhibitors of this cysteine protease, and identified inhibitors of T. brucei. To discover inhibitors active against rhodesain and T. brucei, we screened a library of covalent fragments against rhodesain and conducted preliminary SAR studies. We envision that in vitro enzymatic assays will further expand the use of the covalent tethering method, a simple fragment-based drug discovery technique to discover covalent drug leads.

Novel CFTR corrector compounds that are effective in rescuing halide efflux in a cell are provided. Also provided are methods for treating protein folding disorders (e.g., cystic fibrosis). The methods include administering a CFTR corrector compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. Methods of screening for CFTR corrector compounds are also described herein. The methods of screening include contacting a cell that endogenously expresses a CFTR mutation with the compound to be screened and detecting a rescue of halide efflux from the cell.
