Modeling and synthesis of novel tight-binding inhibitors of cytochrome P450 2C9
摘要:
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (2C9) is one of the three major drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes in human liver. Although the crystal structure of 2C9 has been solved, the important physicochemical properties of substrate-enzyme interactions remain difficult to be determined. This is due in part to the conformational flexibility of mammalian P450 enzymes. Therefore, probing the active-site with high-affinity substrates is important in further understanding substrate-enzyme interactions. Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSAR) and docking experiments have been shown to be useful tools in correlating biological activity with structure. In particular we have previously reported that the very tight-binding inhibitor benzbromarone can provide important information about the active-site of 2C9. In this study we report the binding affinities and potential substrate-enzyme interactions of 4H-chromen-4-one analogs, which are structurally similar to benzbromarone. The chromenone structures are synthetically accessible inhibitors and give inhibition constants as low as 4.2 nM, comparable with the very tightest-binding inhibitors of 2C9. Adding these compounds to our previous 2C9 libraries for CoMFA models reinforces the important electrostatic and hydrophobic features of substrate binding. These compounds have also been docked in the 2C9 crystal structure and the results indicate that Arg 108 plays significant roles in the binding of chromenone substrates. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Synthesis of 3-alkenyl-2-arylchromones and 2,3-dialkenylchromones via acid-catalysed retro-Michael ring opening of 3-acylchroman-4-ones
摘要:
3-Acylchromones and 3-acylflavones, readily available by acylation of 2'-hydroxydibenzoylmethane with acid anhydrides in the presence of base, undergo efficient conjugate reduction with NaBH4 in pyridine to give the corresponding chroman-4-ones/flavanones in high yields. The reduction is both regio- and chemoselective. Treatment of the chroman-4-ones with MeSO3H generates the 3-alkenyl-2-arylchromones by a dehydrative rearrangement initiated by retro-Michael cleavage of the pyranone ring. This reduction-rearrangement sequence can be extended to 2-alkyl-3-alkenoylchromones to generate 3-alkenyl-2-styrylchromones, the first examples of 2,3-dialkenylchromones. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
