Synthesis, experimental evaluation and molecular modelling of hydroxamate derivatives as zinc metalloproteinase inhibitors
摘要:
Enzymes of the M4 family of zinc-metalloproteinases are virulence factors secreted from gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, and putative drug targets in the treatment of bacterial infections. In order to have a therapeutic value such inhibitors should not interfere with endogenous zinc-metalloproteinases. In the present study we have synthesised a series of hydroxamate derivatives and validated the compounds as inhibitors of the M4 enzymes thermolysin and pseudolysin, and the endogenous metalloproteinases ADAM-17, MMP-2 and MMP-9 using experimental binding studies and molecular modelling. In general, the compounds are stronger inhibitors of the MMPs than of the M4 enzymes, however, an interesting exception is LM2. The compounds bound stronger to pseudolysin than to thermolysin, and the molecular modelling studies showed that occupation of the S-2' subpocket by an aromatic group is favourable for strong interactions with pseudolysin.

A structure-based virtual screening of commercial compounds was carried out on the HCV NS3 helicase structure, with the aim to identify novel inhibitors of HCV replication. Among a selection of 13 commercial structures, one compound was found to inhibit the subgenomic HCV replicon in the low micromolar range. Different series of new piperazine-based analogues were designed and synthesised, and among them, several novel structures exhibited antiviral activity in the HCV replicon assay. Some of the new compounds were also found to inhibit HCV NS3 helicase function in vitro, and one directly bound NS3 with a dissociation constant of 570 +/- 270 nM. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The present invention discloses a modified tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) catalytic domain, that unlike the native TACE catalytic domain, is stable at high protein concentrations. The present invention further discloses methods for generating crystals of the modified TACE protein in protein-ligand complexes with a number of inhibitors. In addition, the present invention discloses methods of using the proteins, crystals and/or three-dimensional structures obtained to identify compounds that can modulate the enzymatic activity of TACE.
