Optimization of Inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Pantothenate Synthetase Based on Group Efficiency Analysis
Ligand efficiency has proven to be a valuable concept for optimization of leads in the early stages of drug design. Taking this one step further, group efficiency (GE) evaluates the binding efficiency of each appendage of a molecule, further fine-tuning the drug design process. Here, GE analysis is used to systematically improve the potency of inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis pantothena...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the pantothenate synthetase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, snapshots of the enzyme in action.
Pantothenate synthetase (PS) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis represents a potential target for antituberculosis drugs. PS catalyzes the ATP-dependent condensation of pantoate and beta-alanine to form pantothenate. Previously, we determined the crystal structure of PS from M. tuberculosis and its complexes with AMPCPP, pantoate, and pantoyl adenylate. Here, we describe the crystal structure of t...
متن کاملA High-Throughput Screen against Pantothenate Synthetase (PanC) Identifies 3-Biphenyl-4-Cyanopyrrole-2-Carboxylic Acids as a New Class of Inhibitor with Activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The enzyme pantothenate synthetase, PanC, is an attractive drug target in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is essential for the in vitro growth of M. tuberculosis and for survival of the bacteria in the mouse model of infection. PanC is absent from mammals. We developed an enzyme-based assay to identify inhibitors of PanC, optimized it for high-throughput screening, and tested a large and diverse...
متن کاملSteady-state and pre-steady-state kinetic analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis pantothenate synthetase.
Pantothenate synthetase (EC 6.3.2.1), encoded by the panC gene, catalyzes the essential ATP-dependent condensation of D-pantoate and beta-alanine to form pantothenate in bacteria, yeast and plants. Pantothenate synthetase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was expressed in E. coli, purified to homogeneity, and found to be a homodimer with a subunit molecular mass of 33 kDa. Initial velocity, produ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the amino acid binding site of Mycobacterium tuberculosis glutamine synthetase for drug discovery.
A combination of a literature survey, structure-based virtual screening and synthesis of a small library was performed to identify hits to the potential antimycobacterial drug target, glutamine synthetase. The best inhibitor identified from the literature survey was (2S,5R)-2,6-diamino-5-hydroxyhexanoic acid (4, IC(50) of 610+/-15microM). In the virtual screening 46,400 compounds were docked an...
