Synthesis of novel inhibitors of human IMP dehydrogenase is described. These inhibitors are isosteric methylenebis(sulfonamide) analogues 5-8 of earlier reported mycophenolic adenine methylenebis(phosphonate)s 1-3. The parent bis(phosphonate) 1 and its bis(sulfonamide) analogue 5 showed similar sub-micromolar inhibitory activity against IMPDH2 (K(i) approximately 0.2 microM). However, the bis(sulfonamide) analogues 6 and 8 substituted at the position 2 of adenine were approximately 3- to 10-fold less potent inhibitors of IMPDH2 (K(i)=0.3-0.4 microM) than the corresponding parent bis(phosphonate)s 2 and 3 (K(i)=0.04-0.11 microM), respectively.  相似文献

Inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) catalyzes the oxidation of inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP) to xanthosine 5'-monophosphate (XMP) with the conversion of NAD to NADH. An ordered sequential mechanism where IMP is the first substrate bound and XMP is the last product released was proposed for Tritrichomonas foetus IMPDH on the basis of product inhibition studies. Thiazole adenine dinucleotide (TAD) is an uncompetitive inhibitor versus IMP and a noncompetitive inhibitor versus NAD, which suggests that TAD binds to both E-IMP and E-XMP. Mycophenolic acid is also an uncompetitive inhibitor versus IMP and noncompetitive versus NAD. Multiple-inhibitor experiments show that TAD and mycophenolic acid are mutually exclusive with each other and with NADH. Therefore, mycophenolic acid most probably binds to the dinucleotide site of T. foetus IMPDH. The mycophenolic acid binding site was further localized to the nicotinamide subsite within the dinucleotide site: mycophenolic acid was mutually exclusive with tiazofurin, but could form ternary enzyme complexes with ADP or adenosine diphosphate ribose. NAD inhibits the IMPDH reaction at concentrations greater than 3 mM. NAD substrate inhibition is uncompetitive versus IMP, which suggests that NAD inhibits by binding to E-XMP. TAD is mutually exclusive with both NAD and NADH in multiple-inhibitor experiments, which suggests that there is one dinucleotide binding site. The ordered mechanism predicts that multiple-inhibitor experiments with XMP and TAD, mycophenolic acid, or NAD should have an interaction constant (alpha) between 0 and 1. However, alpha was greater than 1 in all cases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Readily synthesized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) analogues have been used to investigate aspects of the cyclization of NAD(+) to cyclic adenosine 5'-O-diphosphate ribose (cADPR) catalyzed by the enzyme adenosine 5'-O-diphosphate (ADP) ribosyl cyclase and to produce the first potent inhibitors of this enzyme. In all cases, inhibition of Aplysia californica cyclase by various substrate analogues was found to be competitive while inhibition by nicotinamide exhibited mixed-behavior characteristics. Nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide (NHD(+)), nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide (NGD(+)), C1'-m-benzamide adenine dinucleotide (Bp(2)A), and C1'-m-benzamide nicotinamide dinucleotide (Bp(2)N) were found to be nanomolar potency inhibitors with inhibition constants of 70, 143, 189, and 201 nM, respectively. However, NHD(+) and NGD(+) are also known substrates and are slowly converted to cyclic products, thus preventing their further use as inhibitors. The symmetrical bis-nucleotides, bis-adenine dinucleotide (Ap(2)A), bis-hypoxanthine dinucleotide (Hp(2)H), and bis-nicotinamide dinucleotide (Np(2)N), exhibited micromolar competitive inhibition, with Ap(2)A displaying the greatest affinity for the enzyme. 2',3'-Di-O-acetyl nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (AcONAD(+)) was not a substrate for the A. californica cyclase but also displayed some inhibition at a micromolar level. Finally, inhibition of the cyclase by adenosine 5'-O-diphosphate ribose (ADPR) and inosine 5'-O-diphosphate ribose (IDPR) was observed at millimolar concentration. The nicotinamide aromatic ring appears to be the optimal motif required for enzymatic recognition, while modifications of the 2'- and 3'-hydroxyls of the nicotinamide ribose seem to hamper binding to the enzyme. Stabilizing enzyme/inhibitor interactions and the inability of the enzyme to release unprocessed material are both considered to explain nanomolar inhibition. Recognition of inhibitors by other ADP ribosyl cyclases has also been investigated, and this study now provides the first potent nonhydrolyzable sea urchin ADP ribosyl cyclase and cADPR hydrolase inhibitor Bp(2)A, with inhibition observed at the micromolar and nanomolar level, respectively. The benzamide derivatives did not inhibit CD38 cyclase or hydrolase activity when NGD(+) was used as substrate. These results emphasize the difference between CD38 and other enzymes in which the cADPR cyclase activity predominates.  相似文献

Inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) catalyzes the conversion of IMP to XMP with the reduction of NAD(+), which is the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of guanine nucleotides. IMPDH is a promising target for chemotherapy. Microbial IMPDHs differ from mammalian enzymes in their lower affinity for inhibitors such as mycophenolic acid (MPA) and thiazole-4-carboxamide adenine dinucleotide (TAD). Part of this resistance is determined by the coupling between nicotinamide and adenosine subsites in the NAD(+) binding site that is postulated to involve an active site flap. To understand the structural basis of the drug selectivity, we solved the X-ray crystal structure of the catalytic core domain of Tritrichomonas foetus IMPDH in complex with IMP and beta-methylene-TAD at 2.2 A resolution. Unlike previous structures of this enzyme, the active site loop is ordered in this complex, and the catalytic Cys319 is 3.6 A from IMP, in the same plane as the hypoxanthine ring. The active site loop forms hydrogen bonds to the carboxamide of beta-Me-TAD which suggests that NAD(+) promotes the nucleophillic attack of Cys319 on IMP. The interactions of the adenosine end of TAD are very different from those in the human enzyme, suggesting the NAD(+) site may be an exploitable target for the design of antimicrobial drugs. In addition, a new K(+) site is observed at the subunit interface. This site is adjacent to beta-Me-TAD, consistent with the link between the K(+) activation and NAD(+). However, contrary to the coupling model, the flap does not cover the adenosine subsite and remains largely disordered.  相似文献

Thiazole-4-carboxamide adenine dinucleotide (TAD) analogues T-2'-MeAD (1) and T-3'-MeAD (2) containing, respectively, a methyl group at the ribose 2'-C-, and 3'-C-position of the adenosine moiety, were prepared as potential selective human inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) type II inhibitors. The synthesis of heterodinucleotides was carried out by CDI-catalyzed coupling reaction of unprotected 2'-C-methyl- or 3'-C-methyl-adenosine 5'-monophosphate with 2',3'-O-isopropylidene-tiazofurin 5'-monophosphate, and then deisopropylidenation. Biological evaluation of dinucleotides 1 and 2 as inhibitors of recombinant human IMPDH type I and type II resulted in a good activity. Inhibition of both isoenzymes by T-2'-MeAD and T-3'-MeAD was noncompetitive with respect to NAD substrate. Binding of T-3'-MeAD was comparable to that of parent compound TAD, while T-2'-MeAD proved to be a weaker inhibitor. However, no significant difference was found in inhibition of the IMPDH isoenzymes. T-2'-MeAD and T-3'-MeAD were found to inhibit the growth of K562 cells (IC(50) 30.7 and 65.0muM, respectively).  相似文献

Syntheses of ten derivatives of mycophenolic acid (MPA) at C-6′ position, and structure–activity relationship study among these derivatives, MPA and mycophenolic hydroxamic acid (MPHA) led to discovery of N-(2,3,5-triazolyl)mycophenolic amide 4, (7′S) mycophenolic epoxyketone 9 and (7′R) mycophenolic epoxyketone 10 having potent inhibitory activity against human inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) type I and II as well as antiproliferative activity on human leukemia K562 cells. Compounds 4, 9, and 10 showed induction activity of erythroid differentiation in K562 cells. Inhibitory effects of 4 and 10 against IMPDH were attenuated by supplemental guanosine in K562 cells. In contrast, attenuation effect by supplemental guanosine was not significant in the case of 9. Compound 9 weakly inhibited the enzyme activity of HDAC in the nuclear lysate of K562 cells at 10 μM. These observations suggest that the primary target of 4, 9, and 10 is IMPDH, whereas compound 9 partially inhibits a certain type of HDAC.  相似文献

Drug resistance often results from mutations that are located far from the drug-binding site. The effects of these mutations are perplexing. The inhibition of IMPDH by MPA is an example of this phenomenon. Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a species-specific inhibitor of IMPDH; mammalian IMPDHs are very sensitive to MPA, while the microbial enzymes are resistant to the inhibitor. MPA traps the covalent intermediate E-XMP and binds in the nicotinamide half of the dinucleotide site. Previous results indicated that about half of the difference in sensitivity derives from residues in the MPA-binding site [Digits, J. A., and Hedstrom, L. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 15388-15397]. The remainder must be attributed to regions outside the MPA-binding site. The adenosine subsite of the NAD+ site is not conserved among IMPDHs and is, therefore, a likely candidate. Our goal is to examine the coupling between the nicotinamide and adenosine sites in order to test this hypothesis. We performed multiple inhibitor experiments with the Tritrichomonas foetus and human type 2 IMPDHs using tiazofurin and ADP, which bind in the nicotinamide and adenosine subsites, respectively. For T. foetus IMPDH, tiazofurin and ADP are extraordinarily synergistic. In contrast, these inhibitors are virtually independent for the human type 2 enzyme. We suggest that the difference in coupling of the nicotinamide and adenosine subsites accounts for the remaining difference in MPA affinity between T. foetus and human IMPDH.  相似文献

IMPDH catalyzes the oxidation of IMP to XMP with the concomitant reduction of NAD(+) to NADH. This reaction is the rate-limiting step in de novo guanine nucleotide biosynthesis. Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a potent inhibitor of mammalian IMPDHs but a poor inhibitor of microbial IMPDHs. MPA inhibits IMPDH by binding in the nicotinamide half of the dinucleotide site and trapping the covalent intermediate E-XMP. The MPA binding site of resistant IMPDH from the parasite Tritrichomonas foetuscontains two residues that differ from human IMPDH. Lys310 and Glu431 of T. foetus IMPDH are replaced by Arg and Gln, respectively, in the human type 2 enzyme. We characterized three mutants of T. foetusIMPDH: Lys310Arg, Glu431Gln, and Lys310Arg/Glu431Gln in order to determine if these substitutions account for the species selectivity of MPA. The mutation of Lys310Arg causes a 10-fold decrease in the K(i) for MPA inhibition and a 8-13-fold increase in the K(m) values for IMP and NAD(+). The mutation of Glu431Gln causes a 6-fold decrease in the K(i) for MPA. The double mutant displays a 20-fold increase in sensitivity to MPA. Pre-steady-state kinetics were performed to obtain rates of hydride transfer, NADH release, and hydrolysis of E-XMP for the mutant IMPDHs. The Lys310Arg mutation results in a 3-fold increase in the accumulation level of E-XMP, while the Glu431Gln mutation has only a minimal effect on the kinetic mechanism. These experiments show that 20 of the 450-fold difference in sensitivity between the T. foetus and human IMPDHs derive from the residues in the MPA binding site. Of this, 3-fold can be attributed to a change in kinetic mechanism. In addition, we measured MPA binding to enzyme adducts with 6-Cl-IMP and EICARMP. Neither of these adducts proved to be a good model for E-XMP.  相似文献

The oxidation of IMP to XMP is the rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of guanine ribonucleotides. This NAD-dependent reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). Based upon the recent structural determination of IMPDH complexed to oxidized IMP (XMP*) and the potent uncompetitive inhibitor mycophenolic acid (MPA), we have selected active site residues and prepared mutants of human type II IMPDH. The catalytic parameters of these mutants were determined. Mutations G326A, D364A, and the active site nucleophile C331A all abolish enzyme activity to less than 0.1% of wild type. These residues line the IMP binding pocket and are necessary for correct positioning of the substrate, Asp364 serving to anchor the ribose ring of the nucleotide. In the MPA/NAD binding site, significant loss of activity was seen by mutation of any residue of the triad Arg322, Asn303, Asp274 which form a hydrogen bonding network lining one side of this pocket. From a model of NAD bound to the active site consistent with the mutational data, we propose that these resides are important in binding the ribose ring of the nicotinamide substrate. Additionally, mutations in the pair Thr333, Gln441, which lies close to the xanthine ring, cause a significant drop in the catalytic activity of IMPDH. It is proposed that these residues serve to deliver the catalytic water molecule required for hydrolysis of the cysteine-bound XMP* intermediate formed after oxidation by NAD.  相似文献

An effective treatment of myeloid leukemias would rely on inducing myeloid cells to undergo differentiation. It has been demonstrated that inhibition of IMPDH with mycophenolic acid or tiazofurin resulted in inhibition of cell growth as well as induction of differentiation. We synthesized a number of bis(phosphonate) analogues of tiazofurin-, benzamide-, and mycophenolic-adenine dinucleotide which were found to be cytotoxic as well as effective inducers of cell differentiation.  相似文献

The fluorescent 1,N6-ethenoadenosine derivatives of adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, adenosine monophosphate, 3′:5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate, adenosine and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide have been prepared. Paper and thin layer chromatographic purification methods have been developed. Nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrum data indicate that only the purine ring has been modified.The 1,N6-ethenoadenosine triphosphate had about 70% of the activity of adenosine triphosphate as a substrate for total adenosine triphosphatase activity of hypophysectomized rat liver membranes. The 1,N6-ethenoadenosine diphosphate had about 86% of the activity of adenosine diphosphate as a substrate for adenosine diphosphatase of hypophysectomized rat liver membranes. The 1,N6-etheno derivative of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide had about 8% of the activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as a substrate for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase and about 54% of the activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as a substrate for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pyrophosphatase of hypophysectomized rat liver membranes.Km's for the ATPase, ADPase and yeast alcohol dehydrogenase using ε-ATP and ε-ADP and ε-NAD as substrates are presented.  相似文献

The binding of the coenzyme to octopine dehydrogenase was investigated by kinetic and spectroscopic studies using different analogues of NAD+. The analogues employed were fragments of the coenzyme molecule and dinucleotides modified on the purine or the pyridine ring. The binding of ADPribose is sufficient to induce local conformational changes necessary for the good positioning of substrates. AMP, ADP, NMN+ and NMNH do not show this effect. Analogues modified on the purine ring such as nicotinamide deaminoadenine dinucleotide, nicotinamide--8-bromoadenine dinucleotide, nicotinamide--8-thioadenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide 1: N6-ethenoadenine dinucleotide bind to the enzyme and give catalytically active ternary complexes. Modifications of the pyridine ring show an important effect on the binding of the coenzyme as well as on the formation of ternary complexes. Thus, the carboxamide group can well be replaced by an acetyl group and also, though less efficiently, by a formyl or cyano group. However more bulky substituents such as thio, chloroacetyl or propionyl groups prevent the binding. The analogues bearing a methyl group in the 4 or 5 position, which are competitive inhibitors, are able to give binary by not ternary complexes. The case of 1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinamide--adenine dinucleotide which does not give ternary complexes like NADH is discussed. The above findings show that the pyridine and adenine parts are both involved in the binding of the coenzyme and of the substrate to octopine dehydrogenase. The nicotinamide binding site of this enzyme seems to be the most specific and restricted one among the dehydrogenases so far described. The protective effects of coenzyme analogues towards essential -SH group were also studied.  相似文献

Three classes of novel inhibitors of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase have been prepared and their anti-proliferative properties were evaluated against several cancer cell lines.(1) Mycophenolic adenine dinucleotide analogues (813) containing a substituent at the C2 of adenine ring were found to be potent inhibitors of IMPDH (Ki’s in range of 0.6–82 nM) and sub-μM inhibitors of leukemic K562 cell proliferation. (2) Mycophenolic adenosine (d and l) esters (20 and 21) showed a potent inhibition of IMPDH2 (Ki = 102 and Ki = 231 nM, respectively) and inhibition of K562 cell growth (IC50 = 0.5 and IC50 = 1.6 μM). These compounds serve both as inhibitors of the enzyme and as a depot form of mycophenolic acid. The corresponding amide analogue 22, also a potent inhibitor of IMPDH (Ki = 84 nM), did not inhibit cancer cell proliferation. (3) Mycophenolic-(l)- and (d)-valine adenine di-amide derivatives 25 (Ki = 9 nM) and 28 (Ki = 3 nM) were found to be very potent enzymatically, but did not inhibit proliferation of cancer cells.  相似文献

Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides, is a major therapeutic target. A prototypic uncompetitive inhibitor of IMPDH, mycophenolic acid (MPA), is the active form of mycophenolate mofeteil (CellCept), a widely used immunosuppressive drug. We have found that MPA interacts with intracellular IMPDH in vivo to alter its mobility on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. MPA also induces a striking conformational change in IMPDH protein in intact cells, resulting in the formation of annular aggregates of protein with concomitant inhibition of IMPDH activity. These aggregates are not associated with any known intracellular organelles and are reversible by incubating cells with guanosine, which repletes intracellular GTP, or with GTPgammaS. GTP also restores IMPDH activity. Treatment of highly purified IMPDH with MPA also results in the formation of large aggregates of protein, a process that is both prevented and reversed by the addition of GTP. Finally, GTP binds to IMPDH at physiologic concentrations, induces the formation of linear arrays of tetrameric protein, and prevents the aggregation of protein induced by MPA. We conclude that intracellular GTP acts as an antagonist to MPA by directly binding to IMPDH and reversing the conformational changes in the protein.  相似文献

Synthesis of novel NAD(+) analogues that cannot be phosphorylated by NAD kinase is reported. In these analogues the C2' hydroxyl group of the adenosine moiety was replaced by fluorine in the ribo or arabino configuration (1 and 2, respectively) or was inverted into arabino configuration to give compound 3. Compounds 1 and 2 showed inhibition of human NAD kinase, whereas analogue 3 inhibited both the human and Mycobacterium tuberculosis NAD kinase. An uncharged benzamide adenine dinucleotide (BAD) was found to be the most potent competitive inhibitor (K(i)=90 microM) of the human enzyme reported so far.  相似文献

Candida albicans is an important fungal pathogen of immunocompromised patients. In cell culture, C. albicans is sensitive to mycophenolic acid (MPA) and mizoribine, both natural product inhibitors of IMP dehydrogenase (IMPDH). These drugs have opposing interactions with the enzyme. MPA prevents formation of the closed enzyme conformation by binding to the same site as a mobile flap. In contrast, mizoribine monophosphate, the active metabolite of mizoribine, induces the closed conformation. Here, we report the characterization of IMPDH from wild-type and MPA-resistant strains of C. albicans. The wild-type enzyme displays significant differences from human IMPDHs, suggesting that selective inhibitors that could be novel antifungal agents may be developed. IMPDH from the MPA-resistant strain contains a single substitution (A251T) that is far from the MPA-binding site. The A251T variant was 4-fold less sensitive to MPA as expected. This substitution did not affect the k(cat) value, but did decrease the K(m) values for both substrates, so the mutant enzyme is more catalytically efficient as measured by the value of k(cat)/K(m). These simple criteria suggest that the A251T variant would be the evolutionarily superior enzyme. However, the A251T substitution caused the enzyme to be 40-fold more sensitive to mizoribine monophosphate. This result suggests that A251T stabilizes the closed conformation, and this hypothesis is supported by further inhibitor analysis. Likewise, the MPA-resistant strain was more sensitive to mizoribine in cell culture. These observations illustrate the evolutionary challenge posed by the gauntlet of chemical warfare at the microbial level.  相似文献

Utilization and metabolism of NAD by Haemophilus parainfluenzae   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The utilization of exogenous nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) by Haemophilus parainfluenzae was studied in suspensions of whole cells using radiolabelled NAD, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), and nicotinamide ribonucleoside (NR). The utilization of these compounds by H. parainfluenzae has the following characteristics. (1) NAD is not taken up intact, but rather is degraded to NMN or NR prior to internalization. (2) Uptake is carrier-mediated and energy-dependent with saturation kinetics. (3) There is specificity for the beta-configuration of the glycopyridine linkage. (4) An intact carboxamide groups is required on the pyridine ring. The intracellular metabolism of NAD was studied in crude cell extracts and in whole cells using carbonyl-14C-labelled NR, NMN, NAD, nicotinamide, and nicotinic acid as substrates in separate experiments. A synthetic pathway from NR through NMN to NAD that requires Mg2+ and ATP was demonstrated. Nicotinamide was found as an end-product of NAD degradation. Nicotinic acid mononucleotide and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide were not found as intermediates. The NAD synthetic pathway in H. parainfluenzae differs from the Preiss-Handler pathway and the pyridine nucleotide cycles described in other bacteria.  相似文献
