Design, synthesis, and characterization of piperazinedione-based dual protein inhibitors for both farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase-I
摘要:
Farnesyltransferase (FTase) and geranylgeranyltransferase type-I (GGTase-I) both catalyze the prenylation of protein substrate containing a typical -CAAX motif at the carboxyl terminus. The inhibitors for these two enzymes have been widely studied as potential cancer chemotherapeutic agents. In the present study, various piperazinedione derivatives were designed and synthesized as a new type of peptide mimetic compounds, which were characterized and found to be dual protein inhibitors for both FTase and GGTase-l. These compounds have similar chemical and physical properties to -CAAX motif of the protein substrate, which may facilitate their transfer to appropriate drug target in vivo. The best inhibitor compound 26b was found to occupy both isoprenoid and peptide substrate binding sites through kinetics and computer molecular docking studies. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS.

A series of 2-thiohydantoins were prepared as somatostatin subtype 4 (sst4) ligands. Reaction of a Nsubstituted-
L-tryptophan methyl ester with an isothiocyanate in the presence of triethylamine readily afforded the target
compounds. The 2-thiohydantoins were evaluated for binding affinities in cell lines expressing somatostatin receptor
subtypes 2A (sst2A) and 4 (sst4). Compared to the thiourea NNC-26-9100 (3), all 2-thiohydantoins demonstrated lower
binding affinities at sst4. Incorporation of the thiourea moiety into the more rigid 2-thiohydantoin nucleus leads to a loss
of conformational freedom and may prevent optimal interaction with sst4.
