Acyclic nucleoside phosphonates with unnatural nucleobases,favipiravir and allopurinol,designed as potential inhibitors of the human and Plasmodium falciparum 6-oxopurine phosphoribosyltransferases

Hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGXPRT) is a key enzyme of the purine salvage pathway and its activity is crucial for the survival of certain parasites e.g. Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). Acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs) containing either guanine or hypoxanthine as the purine base are inhibitors of this enzyme. In this part of a SAR study, these two naturally-occurring nucleobases attached to an acyclic moiety were replaced by allopurinol or favipiravir. Both allopurinol and favipiravir ANPs were prepared via Mitsunobu reaction. The alkylation of favipiravir was optimized to yield both N- and O- regioisomers but the N-regioisomers were unstable under deprotection conditions. Thus, only the ANPs containing the O-isomer of favipiravir and those containing allopurinol were evaluated as potential inhibitors of human HGPRT and PfHGXPRT. Two ANPs with allopurinol as the base have K_i values of 10?μM and 30?μM for PfHGXPRT but do not inhibit human HGPRT activity at concentrations of 100–150?μM.     

The high performance liquid chromatography of enzyme systems relating to purine and pyrimidine metabolism: an overview

Purines and pyrimidines are now routinely separated by HPLC. By careful selection of chromatographic conditions which match the expected changes in hydrophobicity and/or ionic nature of the substrate and products most enzymes of the purine and pyrimidine salvage pathways can be routinely and accurately determined. Ion-paired reversed-phase systems are often the most advantageous. The relevance of such assays to biomedical analysis including their role in the diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism is stressed.     

Acyclic immucillin phosphonates: second-generation inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase

Plasmodium falciparum, the primary cause of deaths from malaria, is a purine auxotroph and relies on hypoxanthine salvage from the host purine pool. Purine starvation as an antimalarial target has been validated by inhibition of purine nucleoside phosphorylase. Hypoxanthine depletion kills Plasmodium falciparum in cell culture and in Aotus monkey infections. Hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGXPRT) from P. falciparum is required for hypoxanthine salvage by forming inosine 5'-monophosphate, a branchpoint for all purine nucleotide synthesis in the parasite. Here, we present a class of HGXPRT inhibitors, the acyclic immucillin phosphonates (AIPs), and cell permeable AIP prodrugs. The AIPs are simple, potent, selective, and biologically stable inhibitors. The AIP prodrugs block proliferation of cultured parasites by inhibiting the incorporation of hypoxanthine into the parasite nucleotide pool and validates HGXPRT as a target in malaria.     

Deciphering deazapurine biosynthesis: pathway for pyrrolopyrimidine nucleosides toyocamycin and sangivamycin

Pyrrolopyrimidine nucleosides analogs, collectively referred to as deazapurines, are an important class of structurally diverse compounds found in a wide variety of biological niches. In this report, a cluster of genes from Streptomyces rimosus (ATCC 14673) involved in production of the deazapurine antibiotics sangivamycin and toyocamycin was identified. The cluster includes toyocamycin nitrile hydratase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of toyocamycin to sangivamycin. In addition to this rare nitrile hydratase, the cluster encodes a GTP cyclohydrolase I, linking the biosynthesis of deazapurines to folate biosynthesis, and a set of purine salvage/biosynthesis genes, which presumably convert the guanine moiety from GTP to the adenine-like deazapurine base found in toyocamycin and sangivamycin. The gene cluster presented here could potentially serve as a model to allow identification of deazapurine biosynthetic pathways in other bacterial species.     

Computer simulations of trypanosomal nucleoside hydrolase: determination of the protonation state of the bound transition-state analogue

Inosine-uridine nucleoside hydrolase (IU-NH) catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleosides into base and ribose moieties via a ribooxocarbenium ion transition state, which has been characterized using kinetic isotope effects. Protozoan parasites lack de novo purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis and depend on the purine salvage from the host. Vern Schramm and co-workers characterized p-aminophenyliminoribitol (pAPIR) to be a potent inhibitor of IU-NH from Crithidia fasciculata with K(d) of 30 nM. The cyclic amine function of the iminoribitol ring can be either protonated (pAPIRH(+)) or unprotonated (pAPIR). pAPIRH(+) resembles the charge and geometry of the ribooxocarbenium ion transition state and can be looked upon as a transition-state analogue inhibitor; however, it is known that the pAPIR species is initially bound to the enzyme. We have characterized the pAPIRH(+) species as resident of the active site using ab initio calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. This is a novel use of molecular dynamics to investigate the protonation state of the bound ligand to the active site. Nanosecond molecular dynamics simulations reveal a short hydrogen-bonding network between pAPIRH(+)-O2'-Asp14-His241 triad, which is not seen in the crystal structure. Other features discussed are: hydrogen bonding between pAPIRH(+) and Asn168, unusual geometry of the iminoribitol ring, and hydrophobic interactions.     

Synthesis of 5'-methylthio coformycins: specific inhibitors for malarial adenosine deaminase

Transition state theory suggests that enzymatic rate acceleration (kcat/knon) is related to the stabilization of the transition state for a given reaction. Chemically stable analogues of a transition state complex are predicted to convert catalytic energy into binding energy. Because transition state stabilization is a function of catalytic efficiency, differences in substrate specificity can be exploited in the design of tight-binding transition state analogue inhibitors. Coformycin and 2'-deoxycoformycin are natural product transition state analogue inhibitors of adenosine deaminases (ADAs). These compounds mimic the tetrahedral geometry of the ADA transition state and bind with picomolar dissociation constants to enzymes from bovine, human, and protozoan sources. The purine salvage pathway in malaria parasites is unique in that Plasmodium falciparum ADA (PfADA) catalyzes the deamination of both adenosine and 5'-methylthioadenosine. In contrast, neither human adenosine deaminase (HsADA) nor the bovine enzyme (BtADA) can deaminate 5'-methylthioadenosine. 5'-Methylthiocoformycin and 5'-methylthio-2'-deoxycoformycin were synthesized to be specific transition state mimics of the P. falciparum enzyme. These analogues inhibited PfADA with dissociation constants of 430 and 790 pM, respectively. Remarkably, they gave no detectable inhibition of the human and bovine enzymes. Adenosine deamination is involved in the essential pathway of purine salvage in P. falciparum, and prior studies have shown that inhibition of purine salvage results in parasite death. Inhibitors of HsADA are known to be toxic to humans, and the availability of parasite-specific ADA inhibitors may prevent this side-effect. The potent and P. falciparum-specific inhibitors described here have potential for development as antimalarials without inhibition of host ADA.     

Differential Distortion of Purine Substrates by Human and Plasmodium falciparum Hypoxanthine‐Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase to Catalyse the Formation of Mononucleotides

Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) hypoxanthine‐guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) is a potential therapeutic target. Compared to structurally homologous human enzymes, it has expanded substrate specificity. In this study, 9‐deazapurines are used as in situ probes of the active sites of human and Pf HGPRTs. Through the use of these probes it is found that non‐covalent interactions stabilise the pre‐transition state of the HGPRT‐catalysed reaction. Vibrational spectra reveal that the bound substrates are extensively distorted, the carbonyl bond of nucleobase moiety is weakened and the substrate is destabilised along the reaction coordinate. Raman shifts of the human and Pf enzymes are used to quantify the differing degrees of hydrogen bonding in the homologues. A decreased Raman cross‐section in enzyme‐bound 9‐deazaguanine (9DAG) shows that the phenylalanine residue (Phe186 in human and Phe197 in Pf) of HGPRT stacks with the nucleobase. Differential loss of the Raman cross‐section suggests that the active site is more compact in human HGPRT as compared to the Pf enzyme, and is more so in the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) complex 9DAG–PRPP–HGPRT than in 9‐deazahypoxanthine (9DAH)–PRPP–HGPRT.     

Fe(II)/alpha-ketoglutarate hydroxylases involved in nucleobase, nucleoside, nucleotide, and chromatin metabolism

Fe(II)/alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases uniformly possess a double-stranded beta-helix fold with two conserved histidines and one carboxylate coordinating their mononuclear ferrous ions. Oxidative decomposition of the alpha-keto acid is proposed to generate a ferryl-oxo intermediate capable of hydroxylating unactivated carbon atoms in a myriad of substrates. This Perspective focuses on a subgroup of these enzymes that are involved in pyrimidine salvage, purine decomposition, nucleoside and nucleotide hydroxylation, DNA/RNA repair, and chromatin modification. The varied reaction schemes are presented, and selected structural and kinetic information is summarized.
