Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.53Å Ligands: , Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease DYR_HUMAN Defects in DHFR are the cause of megaloblastic anemia due to dihydrofolate reductase deficiency (DHFRD) [MIM:613839. DHFRD is an inborn error of metabolism, characterized by megaloblastic anemia and/or pancytopenia, severe cerebral folate deficiency, and cerebral tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. Clinical features include variable neurologic symptoms, ranging from severe developmental delay and generalized seizures in infancy, to childhood absence epilepsy with learning difficulties, to lack of symptoms. Function DYR_HUMAN Key enzyme in folate metabolism. Contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway. Catalyzes an essential reaction for de novo glycine and purine synthesis, and for DNA precursor synthesis. Binds its own mRNA and that of DHFRL1.

Publication Abstract from PubMed N-{4-[(2-Amino-6-ethyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydrothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)thio]b enzoyl}-L-glutamic acid 2 and 13 nonclassical analogues 2a-2m were synthesized as potential dual thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors and as antitumor agents. The key intermediate in the synthesis was 2-amino-6-ethyl-5-iodothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one, 7, to which various arylthiols were attached at the 5-position. Coupling 8 with L-glutamic acid diethyl ester and saponification afforded 2. X-ray crystal structures of 2 and 1 (the 6-methyl analogue of 2), DHFR, and NADPH showed for the first time that the thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine ring binds in a "folate" mode. Compound 2 was an excellent dual inhibitor of human TS (IC50 = 54 nM) and human DHFR (IC50 = 19 nM) and afforded nanomolar GI50 values against tumor cells in culture. The 6-ethyl substitution in 2 increases both the potency (by 2-3 orders of magnitude) as well as the spectrum of tumor inhibition in vitro compared to the 6-methyl analogue 1. Some of the nonclassical analogues were potent and selective inhibitors of DHFR from Toxoplasma gondii.
