Paragraph 0440; 0444, (2021/04/02)
The present disclosure provides macrocyclic compounds inspired by the immunophilin ligand family of natural products FK506 and rapamycin. The generation of a Rapafucin library of macrocyles that contain FK506 and rapamycin binding domains should have grea

On the basis of computational design, a focused one-bead one-compound library has been prepared on microparticle-encoded PEGA1900 beads consisting of small tripeptides with a triazole-capped N-terminal. The library was screened towards a double

FK506-binding protein 35, FKBP35, has been implicated as an essential malarial enzyme. Rapamycin and FK506 exhibit antiplasmodium activity in cultured parasites. However, due to the highly conserved nature of the binding pockets of FKBPs and the immunosuppressive properties of these drugs, there is a need for compounds that selectively inhibit FKBP35 and lack the undesired side effects. In contrast to human FKBPs, FKBP35 contains a cysteine, C106, adjacent to the rapamycin binding pocket, providing an opportunity to develop targeted covalent inhibitors of Plasmodium FKBP35. Here, we synthesize inhibitors of FKBP35, show that they directly bind FKBP35 in a model cellular setting, selectively covalently modify C106, and exhibit antiplasmodium activity in blood-stage cultured parasites.
