'''CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF ACTIVATED PORCINE PANCREATIC CARBOXYPEPTIDASE B 2-(3-Aminomethyl-phenyl)-3-{[1-((S)-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-phenyl-propane-1-sulfonylamino)-2-methyl-propyl]-hydroxy-phosphinoyl}-propionic acid COMPLEX''' | '''CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF ACTIVATED PORCINE PANCREATIC CARBOXYPEPTIDASE B 2-(3-Aminomethyl-phenyl)-3-{[1-((S)-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-phenyl-propane-1-sulfonylamino)-2-methyl-propyl]-hydroxy-phosphinoyl}-propionic acid COMPLEX''' | ||
==Overview== | |||
This article reports the crystal structures of inhibitors of the functional form of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFIa). In vivo experiments indicate that selective inhibitors of TAFIa would be useful in the treatment of heart attacks. Since TAFIa rapidly degrades in solution, the homologous protein porcine pancreatic carboxypeptidase B (pp-CpB) was used in these crystallography studies. Both TAFIa and pp-CpB are zinc-based exopeptidases that are specific for basic residues. The final development candidate, BX 528, is a potent inhibitor of TAFIa (2 nM) and has almost no measurable effect on the major selectivity target, carboxypeptidase N. BX 528 was designed to mimic the tripeptide Phe-Val-Lys. A sulfonamide replaces the Phe-Val amide bond and a phosphinate connects the Val and Lys groups. The phosphinate also chelates the active-site zinc. The electrostatic interactions with the protein mimic those of the natural substrate. The primary amine in BX 528 forms a salt bridge to Asp255 at the base of the S1' pocket. The carboxylic acid interacts with Arg145 and the sulfonamide is hydrogen bonded to Arg71. Isopropyl and phenyl groups replace the side chains of Val and Phe, respectively. A series of structures are presented here that illustrate the evolution of BX 528 from thiol-based inhibitors that mimic a free C-terminal arginine. The first step in development was the replacement of the thiol with a phosphinate. This caused a precipitous drop in binding affinity. Potency was reclaimed by extending the inhibitors into the downstream binding sites for the natural substrate. | |||
