Cyclopenta[g]quinazoline-based inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) possess a chiral centre at the 6-position of the molecule. The effect of this chirality on the inhibition of TS was investigated by synthesising compounds 6S-1a-c, 6R-1a-c. It was shown, in particular with the diastereoisomers 6S-1c, 6R-1c, that the inhibitory activity against TS is mainly due to the 6S diastereoisomer rather than the 6R diastereoisomer, which is virtually inactive. 相似文献

Cryptosporidiosis, a gastrointestinal disease caused by a protozoan Cryptosporidium hominis is often fatal in immunocompromised individuals. There is little clinical data to show that the existing treatment by nitazoxanide and paromomycin is effective in immunocompromised individuals.1, 2 Thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) are essential enzymes in the folate biosynthesis pathway and are well established as drug targets in cancer and malaria. A novel series of classical antifolates, 2-amino-4-oxo-5-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines have been evaluated as Cryptosporidium hominis thymidylate synthase (ChTS) inhibitors. Crystal structure in complex with the most potent compound, a 2′-chlorophenyl with a sulfur bridge with a Ki of 8.83 ± 0.67 nM is discussed in terms of several Van der Waals, hydrophobic and hydrogen bond interactions with the protein residues and the substrate analog 5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate. Of these interactions, two interactions with the non-conserved residues (A287 and S290) offer an opportunity to develop ChTS specific inhibitors. Compound 6 serves as a lead compound for analog design and its crystal structure provides clues for the design of ChTS specific inhibitors. 相似文献

A series of 17 novel 2-amino-4-oxo-5-[(substituted phenyl)thio]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines were synthesized as potential inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) and as antitumor agents. The analogues contain a variety of electron withdrawing substituents on the phenyl ring of the side chain and were evaluated as inhibitors of human TS (hTS) and Escherichia coli TS and of human and E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). The analogues 14, 17, and 18 were potent inhibitors of hTS with IC50 values of 0.28, 0.21, and 0.22 microM, respectively, and were more potent than the clinically used ZD1694, 2 and LY231514, 3 against human TS. 相似文献

ThyX is an essential thymidylate synthase that is mechanistically and structurally unrelated to the functionally analogous human enzyme, thus providing means for selective inhibition of bacterial growth. To identify novel compounds with anti-bacterial activity against the human pathogenic bacterium Helicobacter pylori, based on our earlier biochemical and structural analyses, we designed a series of eighteen 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones (2-OH-1,4-NQs) that target HpThyX. Our lead-like molecules markedly inhibited the NADPH oxidation and 2′-deoxythymidine-5′-monophosphate-forming activities of HpThyX enzyme in vitro, with inhibitory constants in the low nanomolar range. The identification of non-cytotoxic and non-mitotoxic 2-OH-1,4-NQ inhibitors permitted testing their in vivo efficacy in a mouse model for H. pylori infections. Despite the widely assumed toxicity of naphthoquinones (NQs), we identified tight-binding ThyX inhibitors that were tolerated in mice and can be associated with a modest effect in reducing the number of colonizing bacteria. Our results thus provide proof-of-concept that targeting ThyX enzymes is a highly feasible strategy for the development of therapies against H. pylori and a high number of other ThyX-dependent pathogenic bacteria. We also demonstrate that chemical reactivity of NQs does not prevent their exploitation as anti-microbial compounds, particularly when mitotoxicity screening is used to prioritize these compounds for further experimentation. 相似文献

Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a major target in the chemotherapy of colorectal cancer and some other neoplasms. The emergence of resistance to the treatment is often related to the increased levels of TS in cancer cells, which have been linked to the elimination of TS binding to its own mRNA upon drug binding, a feedback regulatory mechanism, and/or to the increased stability to intracellular degradation of TS.drug complexes (versus unliganded TS). The active site loop of human TS (hTS) has a unique conformation resulted from a rotation by 180 degrees relative to its orientation in bacterial TSs. In this conformation, the enzyme must be inactive, because the catalytic cysteine is no longer positioned in the ligand-binding pocket. The ordered solvent structure obtained from high resolution crystallographic data (2.0 A) suggests that the inactive loop conformation promotes mRNA binding and intracellular degradation of the enzyme. This hypothesis is supported by fluorescence studies, which indicate that in solution both active and inactive forms of hTS are present. The binding of phosphate ion shifts the equilibrium toward the inactive conformation; subsequent dUMP binding reverses the equilibrium toward the active form. Thus, TS inhibition via stabilization of the inactive conformation should lead to less resistance than is observed with presently used drugs, which are analogs of its substrates, dUMP and CH(2)H(4)folate, and bind in the active site, promoting the active conformation. The presence of an extension at the N terminus of native hTS has no significant effect on kinetic properties or crystal structure. 相似文献

A novel series of 2,3-dihydro-[1,4]dioxino[2,3-f]quinazoline derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as reversible and noncovalent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. Most of the compounds exhibited good potency against EGFRwt and some showed moderate to excellent potency against EGFRT790M/L858R mutant. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of twenty-one compounds against EGFRwt were less than 50 nM, and those of six compounds were less than 10 nM. The IC50 values of eleven compounds against EGFRT790M/L858R were less than 100 nM. Among these, compound b1 displayed the most potent inhibitory activity against EGFRwt (IC50 = 2.0 nM) and EGFRT790M/L858R (IC50 = 6.9 nM). Compounds with excellent inhibitory activities against EGFRwt and EGFRT790M/L858R kinase inhibitory activities showed good antiproliferative activities against H358 and A549 cells. Docking study was performed to position compound b1 into the EGFR active pocket to determine the probable binding conformation. 相似文献

A series of 4-anilino-3-cyanobenzo[g]quinolines was prepared as potent kinase inhibitors. Compared with their bicyclic 4-anilino-3-cyanoquinoline analogues, the tricyclic 4-anilino-3-cyanobenzo[g]quinolines are less active against EGF-R kinase, equally active against MAPK kinase (MEK), and more active against Src kinase. For Src kinase inhibition, the best activity is obtained when both the 7- and 8-positions are substituted with alkoxy groups. Several of these kinase inhibitors show potent growth inhibitory activity in tumor cells. 相似文献

5'-Bromoacetamido-5'-deoxythymidine (BAT), 5'-iodoacetamido-5'-deoxythymidine (IAT), 5'-chloroacetamido-5'-deoxythymidine (CAT) and [14C]BAT were synthesized and their interactions with thymidylate synthase purified from L1210 cells were investigated. The inhibitory effects of these compounds on thymidylate synthase were in the order BAT greater than IAT greater than CAT, which is in agreement with their cytotoxic effects in L1210 cells. In the presence of substrate during preincubation, the concentration required for 50% inhibition of the enzyme activity by these inhibitors was 4-8-fold higher than it was in the absence of dUMP. The I50 values for BAT were 1 X 10(-5) M and 1.2 X 10(-6) M in the presence and absence, respectively, of dUMP during preincubation. These results were in agreement with the observed inhibition of thymidylate synthase by BAT in intact L1210 cells. A Lineweaver-Burk plot revealed that BAT behaved as a competitive inhibitor. The Km for the enzyme was 9.2 microM, and the Ki determined for competitive inhibition by BAT was 5.4 microM. Formation of a tight, irreversible complex is inferred from the finding that BAT-inactivation of thymidylate synthase was not reversible on prolonged dialysis and that the enzyme-BAT complex was nondissociable by gel filtration through a Sephadex G-25 column or by TSK-125 column chromatography. Incubation of thymidylate synthase with BAT resulted in time-dependent, irreversible loss of enzyme activity by first-order kinetics. The rate constant for inactivation was 0.4 min-1, and the steady-state constant of inactivation, Ki, was estimated to be 6.6 microM. The 5'-haloacetamido-5'-deoxythymidines provide specific inhibitors of thymidylate synthase that may also serve as reagents for studying the enzyme mechanism. 相似文献

Three synthesized series of compounds based on a thiazolidine core allowed identification of potent inhibitors of thymidylate synthase X. The evaluation of the catalytic activity of the enzyme in the presence of these molecules revealed two distinct classes of compounds that inhibit ThyX with submicromolar concentrations, which could lead, after optimization, to effective inhibitors with potential biomedical interest. 相似文献

Classical antifolates (4-7) with a tricyclic benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold and a flexible and rigid benzoylglutamate were synthesized as dual thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors. Oxidative aromatization of ethyl 2-amino-4-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxylate (±)-9 to ethyl 2-amino-4-methyl-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxylate 10 with 10% Pd/C was a key synthetic step. Compounds with 2-CH? substituents inhibited human (h) TS (IC?? =0.26-0.8 μM), but not hDHFR. Substitution of the 2-CH? with a 2-NH? increases hTS inhibition by more than 10-fold and also affords excellent hDHFR inhibition (IC?? = 0.09-0.1 μM). This study shows that the tricyclic benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold is highly conducive to single hTS or dual hTS-hDHFR inhibition depending on the 2-position substituents. The X-ray crystal structures of 6 and 7 with hDHFR reveal, for the first time, that tricyclics 6 and 7 bind with the benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine ring in the folate binding mode with the thieno S mimicking the 4-amino of methotrexate. 相似文献

A simple micromethod was developed for the accurate measurement of the activity of dTMP synthase in rat liver crude extracts. The reaction product of dTMP synthase activity assay, i.e., tritiated water, generated by the release of tritium from carbon-5 of [5-3H]deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (dUMP), was separated simply by 100% KOH absorption from [5-3H]deoxyuridine (dUrd), which is the side-product by dephosphorylation of [5-3H]deoxyuridine (dUrd), which is the side-product by dephosphorylation of [5-3H]dUMP during the enzyme reaction. Tritiated water was trapped in three droplets of 100% KOH deposited on the underside of the vessels' lids, while [3H]dUrd remained in the bottom of vessels after absorption of the substrate, [5-3H]dUMP, from the reaction mixture by charcoal treatment. Under standard assay conditions in the crude extract of rat liver, the specific activities of dTMP synthase and dUMP phosphatase were 0.092 +/- 0.002 and 0.351 +/- 0.013 nmol/h/mg protein, respectively. This method was also adapted for dTMP synthase assay in crude extracts of rat hepatoma 3924A. The major advantages of this procedure are the elimination of the phosphatase activity which interferes with the estimation of dTMP synthase activity in crude extracts, one-step separation of 3H2O, high sensitivity (with a limit of detection of 10 pmol of 3H2O production), high reproducibility (less than +/- 4.3%), and capability to measure activity in small amounts of sample (30-45 micrograms protein). 相似文献

Targeting EGFR has proven to be beneficial in the treatment of several types of solid tumours. So, a series of novel 2-(4-oxo-3-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)-3,4-dihydrobenzo[g]quinazolin-2-ylthio)-N-substituted acetamide 5–19 were synthesised from the starting material 4-(2-mercapto-4-oxobenzo[g]quinazolin-3(4H)-yl) benzenesulfonamide 4, to be evaluated as dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors. The target compounds 5–19, were screened for their cytotoxic activity against A549 lung cancer cell line. The percentage inhibition of EGFR enzyme was measured and compared with erlotinib as the reference drug. Compounds 6, 8, 10, and 16 showed excellent EGFR inhibitory activity and were further selected for screening as dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors. The four selected compounds showed IC50 ranging from 0.009 to 0.026?µM for EGFR and 0.021 to 0.069?µM for the HER2 enzyme. Compound 8 was found to be the most potent in this study with IC50 0.009 and 0.021?µM for EGFR and HER2, respectively. 相似文献

A novel classical antifolate N-{4-[(2,4-diamino-5-methyl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)thio]-benzoyl}-l-glutamic acid 5 and 11 nonclassical antifolates 6–16 were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate synthase (TS). The nonclassical compounds 6–16 were synthesized from 20 via oxidative addition of substituted thiophenols using iodine. Peptide coupling of the intermediate acid 21 followed by saponification gave the classical analog 5. Compound 5 is the first example, to our knowledge, of a 2,4-diamino furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine classical antifolate that has inhibitory activity against both human DHFR and human TS. The classical analog 5 was a nanomolar inhibitor and remarkably selective inhibitor of Pneumocystis carinii DHFR and Mycobacterium avium DHFR at 263-fold and 2107-fold, respectively, compared to mammalian DHFR. The nonclassical analogs 6–16 were moderately potent against pathogen DHFR or TS. This study shows that the furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold is conducive to dual human DHFR-TS inhibitory activity and to high potency and selectivity for pathogen DHFR. 相似文献

Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a critical chemotherapeutic target and intracellular levels of TS are an important determinant of sensitivity to TS inhibitors. Translational autoregulation represents one cellular mechanism for controlling the level of expression of TS. This mechanism involves the binding of TS protein to its own messenger RNA (mRNA), thus, repressing translational efficiency. The presence of excess substrate or inhibitors of TS leads to derepression of protein binding to mRNA, resulting in increased translational efficiency and ultimately increased levels of TS protein. TS protein has been shown to bind to two distinct areas on its mRNA. The goal of the present work is to define the TS domains responsible for this interaction. Using a separate series of overlapping 17-mer peptides spanning the length of both the human and Escherichia coli TS sequences, we have identified six potential domains located in the interface region of the TS protein that bind TS mRNA. The identified domains that bind TS mRNA include three concordant regions in both the human and E. coli peptide series. Five of the six binding peptides contain at least one invariant arginine residue, which has been shown to be critical in other well-defined protein-RNA interactions. These data suggest that the identified highly conserved protein domains, which occur at the homodimeric interface of TS, represent potential participating sites for binding of TS protein to its mRNA. 相似文献

Phenolnaphthalein derivatives show potential for pharmacological activity as inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) but difficulties in their synthesis and derivatization hinder their development. A deconstruction approach aimed at identifying a suitable new scaffold was proposed. A new scaffold was identified and two compound libraries based on this scaffold were designed. The carboxamide library (Library B) showed specific inhibition activity against Escherichia coli TS, whereas the sulfonamide library (Library C) showed a non-specific inhibition profile against hTS. N-(1,3-Dioxo-1H,3H-benzo[de]isochromen-5-yl)-sulfonamide derivatives, 1C and 9C, showed one order of magnitude improvement in inhibition constant against hTS with respect to the starting lead and represent potential compounds for further lead development. 相似文献

In an effort to identify new protein kinase inhibitors with increased potency and selectivity, we have developed the microwave-assisted synthesis of thiazolo[5,4-f]quinazolin-9-ones. The effects of eighteen derivatives on CDK1/cyclin B, CDK5/p25, and GSK-3 were investigated. Several turned out to inhibit GSK-3 in the micromolar range. Molecular modeling studies suggest that the most selective GSK-3 inhibitors 7a-d bind into the ATP-binding site through a key hydrogen bond interaction with Val135 and target the specific hydrophobic backpocket of the enzyme. 相似文献

A series of 2'-fluoro-substituted dUMP/FdUMP analogues were synthesized, their interaction with human recombinant thymidylate synthase investigated, and structural (1)H and (19)F NMR study of the corresponding nucleosides performed. While 2'-F-dUMP (fluorine in the "down" configuration), in striking contrast to 2'-F-ara-UMP (fluorine in the "up" configuration) and 2',2'-diF-dUMP, showed substrate activity, 2'-F-ara-UMP and 2',2'-diF-dUMP were classic inhibitors, and 2',5-diF-ara-UMP behaved as a strong slow-binding inhibitor, suggesting the 2'-F substituent in the "up" position to interfere with the active center cysteine thiol addition to the pyrimidine C(6) and the pyrimidine C(5)-F to prevent this interference. In support, the direct through space heteronuclear coupling J(HF) was observed for the fluorine "up" derivatives, 2'-F-ara-U and 2',5-diF-ara-U, causing the splitting of the H(6) resonance lines. The absence of such splitting in 2',2'-diF-dUrd, indicating an unusual orientation of the base in relation to the furanose, was associated with an exceptionally weak interaction with the enzyme. 相似文献
