We have advanced a novel strategy to search for lacosamide ((R)-1) targets in the brain proteome where protein binding is expected to be modest. Our approach used lacosamide agents containing "affinity bait" (AB) and "chemical reporter" (CR) units. The affinity bait moiety is designed to irreversibly react with the target, and the CR group permits protein detection and capture. In this study, we report the preparation and evaluation of (R)-N-(4-azido)benzyl 2-acetamido-3-(prop-2-ynyloxy)propionamide ((R)-3) and show that this compound exhibits potent anticonvulsant activities in the MES seizure model in rodents. We compared the utility of (R)-3 with its isostere, (R)-N-(4-isothiocyanato)benzyl 2-acetamido-3-(prop-2-ynyloxy)propionamide ((R)-2), in proteomic studies designed to identify potential (R)-1 targets. We showed that despite the two-fold improved anticonvulsant activity of (R)-3 compared with (R)-2, (R)-2 was superior in revealing potential binding targets in the mouse brain soluble proteome. The difference in these agents' utility has been attributed to the reactivity of the affinity baits (i.e., (R)-2: aryl isothiocyanate moiety; (R)-3: photoactivated aryl azide intermediates) in the irreversible protein modification step, and we conclude that this factor is a critical determinant of successful target detection where ligand (drug) binding is modest. The utility of (R)-2 and (R)-3 in in situ proteome studies is explored.

(R)-Lacosamide ((R)-2, (R)-N-benzyl 2-acetamido-3-methoxypropionamide) has recently gained regulatory approval for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in adults.Whole animal pharmacological studies have documented that (R)-2 function is unique. A robust strategy is advanced for the discovery of interacting proteins associated with function and toxicity of (R)-2 through the use of (R)-2 analogues, 3, which contain "affinity bait (AB)" and "chemical reporter (CR)" functional groups. In 3, covalent modification of the interacting proteins proceeds at the AB moiety, and detection or isolation of the selectively captured protein occurs through the bioorthogonal CR group upon reaction with an appropriate probe. We report the synthesis, pharmacological evaluation, and interrogation of the mouse soluble brain proteome using 3 where the AB group is an isothiocyanate moiety. One compound, (R)-N-(4-isothiocyanato)benzyl 2-acetamido-3-(prop-2-ynyloxy) propionamide ((R)-9), exhibited excellent seizure protection in mice, and like (R)-2, anticonvulsant activity principally resided in the (R)-stereoisomer. Several proteins were preferentially labeled by (R)-9 compared with (S)-9, including collapsin response mediator protein 2. 2009 American Chemical Society.
