, p. 1463 - 1468 (1999)
This paper describes the design and synthesis of potential inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi dihydrofolate reductase using a structure-based approach. A model of the structure of the T. cruzi enzyme was compared with the structure of the human enzyme. The differences were used to design modifications of methotrexate to produce compounds which should be selective for the parasite enzyme. The derivatives of methotrexate were synthesised and tested against the enzyme and intact parasites.

Ligand-binding assays are the linchpin of drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. Cell-surface receptors and their ligands have traditionally been characterized by radioligand-binding assays, which have low temporal and spatial resolution and entail safety risks. Here, we report a powerful alternative (GlycoFRET), where terbium-labeled fluorescent reporters are irreversibly attached to receptors by metabolic glycan engineering. For the first time, we show time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer between receptor glycans and fluorescently labeled ligands. We describe GlycoFRET for a GPI-anchored receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor, and a heterodimeric cytokine receptor in living cells with excellent sensitivity and high signal-to-background ratios. In contrast to previously described methods, GlycoFRET does not require genetic engineering or antibodies to label receptors. Given that all cell-surface receptors are glycosylated, we expect that GlycoFRET can be generalized with applications in chemical biology and biotechnology, such as target engagement, receptor pharmacology, and high-throughput screening.

The sulfonamide class of antibiotics has been in continuous use for over 70?years. They are thought to act by directly inhibiting dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS), and also acting as prodrugs that sequester pterin pools by forming dead end pterin–sulfonamide conjugates. In this study, eight pterin–sulfonamide conjugates were synthesized using a novel synthetic strategy and their biochemical and microbiological properties were investigated. The conjugates were shown to competitively inhibit DHPS, and inhibition was enhanced by the presence of pyrophosphate that is crucial to catalysis and is known to promote an ordering of the DHPS active site. The co-crystal structure of Yersinia pestis DHPS bound to one of the more potent conjugates revealed a mode of binding that is similar to that of the enzymatic product analog pteroic acid. The antimicrobial activities of the pterin–sulfonamide conjugates were measured against Escherichia coli in the presence and absence of folate precursors and dependent metabolites. These results show that the conjugates have appreciable antibacterial activity and act by an on target, anti-folate pathway mechanism rather than as simple dead end products.
Bisubstrate analogue inhibitors of 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase: New design with improved properties

6-Hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase (HPPK), a key enzyme in the folate biosynthetic pathway, catalyzes the pyrophosphoryl transfer from ATP to 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin. The enzyme is essential for microorganisms, is absent from humans, and is not the target for any existing antibiotics. Therefore, HPPK is an attractive target for developing novel antimicrobial agents. Previously, we characterized the reaction trajectory of HPPK-catalyzed pyrophosphoryl transfer and synthesized a series of bisubstrate analog inhibitors of the enzyme by linking 6-hydroxymethylpterin to adenosine through 2, 3, or 4 phosphate groups. Here, we report a new generation of bisubstrate analog inhibitors. To improve protein binding and linker properties of such inhibitors, we have replaced the pterin moiety with 7,7-dimethyl-7,8- dihydropterin and the phosphate bridge with a piperidine linked thioether. We have synthesized the new inhibitors, measured their Kd and IC 50 values, determined their crystal structures in complex with HPPK, and established their structure-activity relationship. 6-Carboxylic acid ethyl ester-7,7-dimethyl-7,8-dihydropterin, a novel intermediate that we developed recently for easy derivatization at position 6 of 7,7-dimethyl-7,8- dihydropterin, offers a much high yield for the synthesis of bisubstrate analogs than that of previously established procedure.

Pteridine-sulfonamide conjugates as dual inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases and dihydrofolate reductase with potential antitumor activity

Recent evidences suggest that cancer treatment based on combination of cytostatic and conventional chemostatic therapeutics, which are usually cytotoxic, can provide an improved curative option. On the sequence of our previous work on methotrexate (MTX) derivatives, we have developed and evaluated novel MTX analogues, containing a pteridine moiety conjugated with benzenesulfonamide derivatives, thus endowed with the potential capacity for dual inhibition of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and carbonic anhydrases (CA). These enzymes are often overexpressed in tumors and are involved in two unrelated cellular pathways, important for tumor survival and progression. Their simultaneous inhibition may turn beneficial in terms of enhanced antitumor activity. Herein we report the design and synthesis of several diaminopteridine-benzenesulfonamide and -benzenesulfonate conjugates, differing in the nature and size of the spacer group between the two key moieties. The inhibition studies performed on a set of CAs and DHFR, revealed the activities in the low nanomolar and low micromolar ranges of concentration, respectively. Some inhibitors showed selectivity for the tumor-related CA (isozyme IX). Cell proliferation assays using two tumor cell lines (the non-small cell lung carcinoma, A549, and prostate carcinoma, PC-3) showed activities only in the millimolar range. Nevertheless, this fact points out the need of improving the cell intake properties of these new compounds, since the general inhibitory profiles revealed their potential as anticancer agents.
