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.

C-benzylated (N-arylcarbamoyl)phosphonate esters have been resolved. The C-benzylated N-furfurylcarbamoyl derivative showed low micromolar PfLDH inhibition, while one of the C-benzylated N-arylcarbamoyl analogues was active against Nagana Trypanosoma brucei parasites which are responsible for Africantrypanosomiasis in cattle.
