Structure−Activity Relationship Analysis of the Selective Inhibition of Transglutaminase 2 by Dihydroisoxazoles
摘要:
Human transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of various human disorders including celiac sprue, certain neurological diseases, and some types of cancer. Selective inhibition of TG2 should therefore enable further investigation of its role in physiology and disease and may lead to effective clinical treatment. Recently we showed that certain 3-halo-4-,5-dihydroisoxazole containing compounds are selective inhibitors of human TG2 with promising pharmacological activities. Here, we present definitive evidence that this class of compounds targets the active site of human TG2. Structure-activity relationship studies have provided insights into the structural prerequisites for selectivity and have led to the discovery of an inhibitor with about 50-fold higher activity than a prototypical dihydroisoxazole inhibitor with good in vivo activity. A method for preparing enantiomerically enriched analogues was also developed. Our studies show that the 5-(S)-dihydroisoxazole is a markedly better inhibitor of human TG2 than its 5-(R) stereoisomer.

Single-module nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) and NRPS-like enzymes activate and transform carboxylic acids in both primary and secondary metabolism; and are of great interest due to their biocatalytic potentials. The single-module NRPS IvoA is essential for fungal pigment biosynthesis. As disclosed herein, we show that IvoA catalyzes ATP-dependent unidirectional stereoinversion of L-tryptophan to D-tryptophan with complete conversion. While the stereoinversion is catalyzed by the epimerization (E) domain, the terminal condensation (C) domain stereoselectively hydrolyzes D-tryptophanyl-S-phosphopantetheine thioester and thus represents a noncanonical C domain function. Using IvoA, we demonstrate a biocatalytic stereoinversion/deracemization route to access a variety of substituted D-tryptophan analogs in high enantiomeric excess.

pure amino acid derivatives could be foundational compounds for peptide drugs. Deracemization of racemates to l-amino acid derivatives can be achieved through the reaction of evolved d-aminoacidoxidase and chemical reductants, whereas deracemization to d-aminoacid derivatives has not progressed due to the difficulty associated with the heterologous expression of l-amino acidoxidase (LAAO).

techniques to establish l‐4‐Cl‐Kyn biosynthesis, which is initiated by the flavin‐dependent tryptophan chlorinase Tar14 and its flavin reductase partner Tar15. This work revealed the first tryptophan 2,3‐dioxygenase (Tar13) and kynurenine formamidase (Tar16) enzymes that are selective for chlorinated substrates. The substratescope of Tar13, Tar14, and Tar16 was examined and revealed intriguing promiscuity
