of LONP1 in human biology and disease, very few LONP1 inhibitors have been described in the literature. Herein, we report the development of selective boronic acid-based LONP1 inhibitors using structure-based drug design as well as the first structures of human LONP1 bound to various inhibitors. Our efforts led to several nanomolar LONP1 inhibitors with little to no activity against the 20S proteasome
LONP1是一种AAA +蛋白酶,可通过去除受损或错误折叠的蛋白质来维持线粒体的体内平衡。LONP1的活性和表达升高会促进癌细胞的增殖和对凋亡诱导剂的抗性。尽管LONP1在人类生物学和疾病中很重要,但文献中几乎没有描述过LONP1抑制剂。在这里,我们报告使用基于结构的药物设计以及结合各种抑制剂的人LONP1的第一个结构的选择性硼酸基LONP1抑制剂的发展。我们的努力导致了几种对20S蛋白酶体几乎没有活性的纳米摩尔LONP1抑制剂,它们是研究LONP1生物学的工具化合物。
