Structural highlights
FunctionOXDA_HUMAN Regulates the level of the neuromodulator D-serine in the brain. Has high activity towards D-DOPA and contributes to dopamine synthesis. Could act as a detoxifying agent which removes D-amino acids accumulated during aging. Acts on a variety of D-amino acids with a preference for those having small hydrophobic side chains followed by those bearing polar, aromatic, and basic groups. Does not act on acidic amino acids.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is a central regulator of synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. Human D-amino acid oxidase (hDAAO) indirectly reduces NMDAR activity by degrading the NMDAR co-agonist D-serine. Because NMDAR hypofunction is thought to be a foundational defect in schizophrenia, hDAAO inhibitors have potential as treatments for schizophrenia and other nervous system disorders. Here, we sought to identify novel chemicals that inhibit hDAAO activity. We used computational tools to design a focused, purchasable library of compounds. After screening this library for hDAAO inhibition, we identified the structurally novel compound 3-(7-Hydroxy-2-oxo-4-phenyl-2H-chromen-6-yl)propanoic acid ("compound 2"), which displayed low nM hDAAO inhibitory potency (Ki = 7 nM). While the library was expected to enrich for compounds that were competitive for both D-serine and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), compound 2 actually was FAD uncompetitive, much like canonical hDAAO inhibitors such as benzoic acid. Compound 2 and an analog were independently co-crystalized with hDAAO. These compounds stabilized a novel conformation of hDAAO in which the active site lid was in an open position. These results confirm previous hypotheses regarding active site lid flexibility of mammalian D-amino acid oxidases and could assist in the design of the next generation of hDAAO inhibitors.
