Identification and Specificity Studies of Small-Molecule Ligands for SH3 Protein Domains
摘要:
The Src Homology 3 (SH3) domains are small protein-protein interaction domains that bind proline-rich sequences and mediate a wide range of cell-signaling and other important biological processes. Since deregulated signaling pathways form the basis of many human diseases, the SH3 domains have been attractive targets for novel therapeutics. High-affinity ligands for SH3 domains have been designed; however, these have all been peptide-based and no examples of entirely nonpeptide SH3 ligands have previously been reported. Using the mouse Tec Kinase SH3 domain as a model system for structure-based ligand design, we have identified several simple heterocyclic compounds that selectively bind to the Tec SH3 domain. Using a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift perturbation, structure-activity relationships, and site-directed mutagenesis, the binding of these compounds at the proline-rich peptide-binding site has been characterized. The most potent of these, 2-aminoquinoline, bound with K-d = 125 muM and was able to compete for binding with a proline-rich peptide. Synthesis of 6-substitued-2-aminoquinolines resulted in ligands with up to 6-fold improved affinity over 2-aminoquinoline and enhanced specificity for the Tec SH3 domain. Therefore, 2-aminoquinolines may potentially be useful for the development of high affinity small molecule ligands for SH3 domains.

synthesis of amides has been explored by using secondary alcohols, Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O as a catalyst, and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) as a nitrogen source in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) at ambient temperature. This method has been successfully adapted to the preparation of azides directly from their corresponding alcohols and offers excellent chemoselectivity in the formation
Substituted Hantzsch esters can act as radical reservoirs in photoredox reactions, steadily releasing a carbon radical and a hydrogen atom radical in the absence of an additional electron acceptor. We propose that radical release by substituted Hantzsch esters occurs via a mechanism involving an internal redox cycle. Cinnamidecinnamides, styrenes, α,β‐unsaturated acids, and diarylethenes could be alkylated
