Inhibitor structures

Somehow, Seebach ends his superb review, in which more than 500 references are quoted, with a rather optimistic message "that organic synthesis continues to react forcefully and with vitality to new challenges, still ready to pursue old dreams", and he refers to some exciting new targets such as supramolecular structures inhibitors, suicidal substrates and flustrates monoclonal antibodies and...

The catalytic subunit of cAPK contains two domains connected by a peptide linker. ATP binds in a deep cleft between the two domains. Presently, crystal structures showed cAPK in three different conformations, (1) in a closed conformation in the ternary complex with ATP or other tight-binding ligands and a peptide inhibitor PKI(5-24), (2) in an intermediate conformation in the binary complex with adenosine, and (3) in an open conformation in the binary complex of mammalian cAPK with PKI(5-24). Fig.l shows a superposition of the three protein kinase configurations to visualize the type of conformational movement. 

Fig. 2. Conformational free energy of closed, intermediate and open protein kinase conformations. cAPK indicates the unbound form of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cAPKiATP the binary complex of cAPK with ATP, cAPKiPKP the binary complex of cAPK with the peptide inhibitor PKI(5-24), and cAPK PKI ATP the ternary complex of cAPK with ATP and PKI(5-24). Shown are averaged values for the three crystal structures lATP.pdb, ICDKA.pdb, and ICDKB.pdb. All values have been normalized with respect to the free energy of the closed conformations.

The catalytic subunit then catalyzes the direct transfer of the 7-phosphate of ATP (visible as small beads at the end of ATP) to its peptide substrate. Catalysis takes place in the cleft between the two domains. Mutual orientation and position of these two lobes can be classified as either closed or open, for a review of the structures and function see e.g. [36]. The presented structure shows a closed conformation. Both the apoenzyme and the binary complex of the porcine C-subunit with di-iodinated inhibitor peptide represent the crystal structure in an open conformation [37] resulting from an overall rotation of the small lobe relative to the large lobe.

Application of the CCM to small sets (n < 6) of enzyme inhibitors revealed correlations between the inhibitory activity and the chirality measure of the inhibitors, calculated by Eq. (26) for the entire structure or for the substructure that interacts with the enzyme (pharmacophore) [41], This was done for arylammonium inhibitors of trypsin, Di-dopamine receptor inhibitors, and organophosphate inhibitors of trypsin, acetylcholine esterase, and butyrylcholine esterase. Because the CCM values are equal for opposite enantiomers, the method had to be applied separately to the two families of enantiomers (R- and S-enantiomers). 

Zhang and co-workers worked on the structure-based, computer-assisted search for low molecular weight, non-peptidic protein tyrosine phosphate IB (PTPIB) inhibitors, also using the DOCK methodology [89], They identified several potent and selective PTPIB inhibitors by saeening the ACD.

Structure-based Design Methods to Design HiV-1 Protease Inhibitors... 

An impressive example of the application of structure-based methods was the design of a inhibitor of the HIV protease by a group of scientists at DuPont Merck [Lam et al. 1994 This enzyme is crucial to the replication of the HIV virus, and inhibitors have bee shown to have therapeutic value as components of anti-AIDS treatment regimes. The star1 ing point for their work was a series of X-ray crystal structures of the enzyme with number of inhibitors boimd. Their objective was to discover potent, novel leads whid were orally available. Many of the previously reported inhibitors of this enzyme possessei substantial peptide character, and so were biologically unstable, poorly absorbed am rapidly metabolised.
