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.

Novel rhodesaininhibitors were obtained by combining an enantiomerically pure 3‐bromoisoxazoline warhead with a specific peptidomimetic recognition moiety. All derivatives behaved as inhibitors of rhodesain, with low micromolar Ki values. Their activity against the enzyme was found to be paralleled by an in vitro antitrypanosomal activity, with IC50 values in the mid‐micromolar range. Notably, a preference
Novel rhodesaininhibitors were developed by combining an enantiomerically pure 3-bromoisoxazolinewarhead with a 1,4-benzodiazepine scaffold as specific recognition moiety. All compounds were proven to inhibitrhodesain with Ki values in the low-micromolar range. Their activity towards rhodesain was found to be coupled to an in vitro antitrypanosomal activity, with IC50 values ranging from the mid-micromolar
Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a ubiquitously expressed enzyme that catalyzes the posttranslational modification of glutamine residues on protein or peptide substrates. A growing body of literature has implicated aberrantly regulated activity of TG2 in the pathogenesis of various human inflammatory, fibrotic, and other diseases. Taken together with the fact that TG2 knockout mice are developmentally and reproductively normal, there is growing interest in the potential use of TG2 inhibitors in the treatment of these conditions. Targeted-covalent inhibitors based on the weakly electrophilic 3-bromo-4,5-dihydroisoxazole (DHI) scaffold have been widely used to study TG2 biology and are well tolerated in vivo, but these compounds have only modest potency, and their selectivity toward other transglutaminase homologues is largely unknown. In the present work, we first profiled the selectivity of existing inhibitors against the most pertinent TG isoforms (TG1, TG3, and FXIIIa). Significant cross-reactivity of these small molecules with TG1 was observed. Structure-activity and -selectivity analyses led to the identification of modifications that improved potency and isoform selectivity. Preliminary pharmacokinetic analysis of the most promising analogues was also undertaken. Our new data provides a clear basis for the rational selection of dihydroisoxazole inhibitors as tools for in vivo biological investigation.

Bromonitrite oxide can be generated homogeneously in water at acidic pH, allowing efficient [3 + 2] cycloaddition with water soluble olefins and acetylenes. Allylammonium salts react with high regioselectivity and without the need for N-group protection.
