- The crystal structure of an isopenicillin N synthase complex with an ethereal substrate analogue reveals water in the oxygen binding site
-
Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-heme iron oxidase central to the biosynthesis of β-lactam antibiotics. IPNS converts the tripeptide δ-(l-α-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-valine (ACV) to isopenicillin N while reducing molecular oxygen to water. The substrate analogue δ-(l-α-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-O-methyl-d-threonine (ACmT) is not turned over by IPNS. Epimeric δ-(l-α-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-O- methyl-d-allo-threonine (ACmaT) is converted to a bioactive penam product. ACmT and ACmaT differ from each other only in the stereochemistry at the β-carbon atom of their third residue. These substrates both contain a methyl ether in place of the isopropyl group of ACV. We report an X-ray crystal structure for the anaerobic IPNS:Fe(II):ACmT complex. This structure reveals an additional water molecule bound to the active site metal, held by hydrogen-bonding to the ether oxygen atom of the substrate analogue.

- Structure-based design of highly selective β-secretase inhibitors: Synthesis, biological evaluation, and protein-ligand x-ray crystal structure
-
The structure-based design, synthesis, and X-ray structure of protein-ligand complexes of exceptionally potent and selective β-secretase inhibitors are described. The inhibitors are designed specifically to interact with S1′ active site residues to provide selectivity over memapsin 1 and cathepsin D. Inhibitor 5 has exhibited exceedingly potent inhibitory activity (Ki = 17 pM) and high selectivity over BACE 2 (>7000-fold) and cathepsin D (>250000-fold). A protein-ligand crystal structure revealed important molecular insight into these selectivities. These interactions may serve as an important guide to design selectivity over the physiologically important aspartic acid proteases.

- Tubulin inhibitors. Synthesis and biological activity of HTI-286 analogs with B-segment heterosubstituents
-
Modifications of the B-segment of HTI-286 (2) produced a class of analogs incorporating heteroatom-substituents. The structure-activity relationship was studied. Analogs bearing methylsulfide and fluoride groups exhibited potency comparable to that of the parent compound HTI-286 and to paclitaxel in cytotoxicity assays against KB-3-1 cell lines. These analogs were more potent than paclitaxel against P-glycoprotein expressing KB-8-5 and KB-V1 cell lines. Several analogs showed strong inhibition of tubulin polymerization.
