Structure−Activity Relationships in the Binding of Chemically Derivatized CD4 to gp120 from Human Immunodeficiency Virus
摘要:
The first step in HIV infection is the binding of the envelope glycoprotein gp120 to the host cell receptor CD4. An interfacial "Phe43 cavity" in gp120, adjacent to residue Phe43 of gp120-bound CD4, has been suggested as a potential target for therapeutic intervention. We designed a CD4 mutant (D1D2F43C) for site-specific coupling of compounds for screening against the cavity. Altogether, 81 cysteine-reactive compounds were designed, synthesized, and tested. Eight derivatives exceeded the affinity of native D1D2 for gp 120. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) for derivatized CD4 binding to gp 120 revealed significant plasticity of the Phe43 cavity and a narrow entrance. The primary contacts for compound recognition inside the cavity were found to be van der Waals interactions, whereas hydrophilic interactions were detected in the entrance. This first SAR on ligand binding to an interior cavity of gp 120 may provide a starting point for structure-based assembly of small molecules targeting gp120-CD4 interaction.
S-Benzylisothiourea derivatives as small-molecule inhibitors of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase
摘要:
S-Benzylisothiourea 3a was discovered by its ability to inhibit indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in our screening program. Subsequent optimization of the initial hit 3a lead to the identification of sub-mu M inhibitors 3r and 10h, both of which suppressed kynurenine production in A431 cells. Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of S-benzylisothiourea analogues as small-molecule inhibitors of IDO are described. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
