Phosphodiesterase inhibitory properties of losartan. design and synthesis of new lead compounds
摘要:
A 4-centre PDE 4 pharmacophore search has been carried out in several 3D-databases containing compounds belonging to different therapeutic areas. Losartan, an angiotensin-II antagonist, has been identified as a new lead compound for developping PDE 4 inhibitors. New families of compounds derived from losartan has been synthesized and their PDE inhibition has been measured. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Substrate-Assisted O2 Activation in a Cofactor-Independent Dioxygenase
摘要:
In contrast to the majority of O-2-activating enzymes, which depend on an organic cofactor or a metal ion for catalysis, a particular group of structurally unrelated oxygenases is functional without any cofactor. In this study, we characterized the mechanism of O-2 activation in the reaction pathway of a cofactor-independent dioxygenase with an alpha/beta-hydrolase fold, which catalyzes the oxygenolytic cleavage of 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolones. Chemical analysis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic data revealed that O-2 activation in the enzyme's active site is substrate-assisted, relying on single electron transfer from the bound substrate anion to Ow(2) to form a radical pair, which recombines to a C2-peroxide intermediate. Thus, an oxygenase can function without a cofactor, if the organic substrate itself, after activation to a (carb) anion by an active-site base, is intrinsically reactive toward molecular oxygen.

Novel imidazole derivatives of the formula (I):
wherein R¹ is an optionally substituted alkyl group, R² and R³ are independently a group capable of forming anion or a group which can be changed thereinto, ring A is benzene ring optionally having, besides the group shown by R², further substituents, and X shows linkage of phenylene group and phenyl group directly or through a spacer whose atomic chain is not more than 2 and a salt thereof, show antagonistic actions to angiotensin II, thus being useful as therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases.

Dioxygenases catalyze a diverse range of biological reactions by incorporating molecular oxygen into organic substrates. Typically, they use transition metals or organic cofactors for catalysis. Bacterial 1-H-3-hydroxy-4-oxoquinaldine-2,4-dioxygenase (HOD) catalyzes the spin-forbidden transfer of dioxygen to its N-heteroaromatic substrate in the absence of any cofactor. We combined kinetics, spectroscopic and computational approaches to establish a novel reaction mechanism. The present work gives insight lotto the rate limiting steps in the reaction mechanism, the effect of first-coordination sphere amino acids as well as electron-donating/electron-withdrawing,substituents on the substrate. We highlight the role of active site residues Ser(101)/Trp(160)/His(251) and their involvement in the reaction mechanism. The work shows, for the first time, that the reaction is initiated by triplet dioxygen and its binding to deprotonated substrate and only thereafter a spin state crossing to the singlet spin state occurs. As revealed by steady- and transient-state kinetics the oxygen-dependent steps are rate-limiting, whereas Trp(160) and His(251) are essential residues for catalysis and contribute to substrate positioning and activation, respectively. Computational modeling further confirms the experimental observations and rationalizes the electron transfer pathways, and the effect of substrate and substrate binding pocket residues. Finally, we make a direct comparison with iron-based dioxygenases and explain the mechanistic and electronic differences with cofactor-free dioxygenases. Our multidisciplinary study confirms that the oxygenation reaction can take place in absence of any cofactor by a unique mechanism in which the specially designed fit-for-purpose active-site architecture modulates substrate reactivity toward oxygen.
