Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 1,3-Dideazapurine-Like 7-Amino-5-Hydroxymethyl-Benzimidazole Ribonucleoside Analogues as Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase Inhibitors. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25204751. [PMID: 33081246 PMCID: PMC7587597 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25204751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) have become viable targets for the development of antimicrobial agents due to their crucial role in protein translation. A series of six amino acids were coupled to the purine-like 7-amino-5-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole nucleoside analogue following an optimized synthetic pathway. These compounds were designed as aaRS inhibitors and can be considered as 1,3-dideazaadenine analogues carrying a 2-hydroxymethyl substituent. Despite our intentions to obtain N1-glycosylated 4-aminobenzimidazole congeners, resembling the natural purine nucleosides glycosylated at the N9-position, we obtained the N3-glycosylated benzimidazole derivatives as the major products, resembling the respective purine N7-glycosylated nucleosides. A series of X-ray crystal structures of class I and II aaRSs in complex with newly synthesized compounds revealed interesting interactions of these “base-flipped” analogues with their targets. While the exocyclic amine of the flipped base mimics the reciprocal interaction of the N3-purine atom of aminoacyl-sulfamoyl adenosine (aaSA) congeners, the hydroxymethyl substituent of the flipped base apparently loses part of the standard interactions of the adenine N1 and the N6-amine as seen with aaSA analogues. Upon the evaluation of the inhibitory potency of the newly obtained analogues, nanomolar inhibitory activities were noted for the leucine and isoleucine analogues targeting class I aaRS enzymes, while rather weak inhibitory activity against the corresponding class II aaRSs was observed. This class bias could be further explained by detailed structural analysis.

Abstract
Here we report the synthesis of natural products (NPs) 5'-O-sulfamoyl adenosine 1 and 5'-O-sulfamoyl-2-chloroadenosine 2. As primary sulfamates these compounds represent an uncommon class of NPs, furthermore there are few NPs known that contain a NS bond. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for inhibition of carbonic anhydrases (CA), a metalloenzyme family where the primary sulfamate is known to coordinate to the active site zinc and form key hydrogen bonds with adjacent CA active site residues. Both NPs were good to moderate CA inhibitors, with compound 2 a 20-50-fold stronger CA inhibitor (Ki values 65-234 nM) than compound 1. The protein X-ray crystal structures of 1 and 2 in complex with CA II show that it is not the halogen-hydrophobic interactions that give compound 2 a greater binding energy but a slight movement in orientation of the ribose ring that allows better hydrogen bonds to CA residues. Compounds 1 and 2 were further investigated for antimicrobial activity against a panel of microbes relevant to human health, including Gram-negative bacteria (4 strains), Gram-positive bacteria (1 strain) and yeast (2 strains). Antimicrobial activity and selectivity was observed. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of NP 1 was 10 µM against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and NP 2 was 5 µM against Gram-negative Escherichia coli. This is the first time that NP primary sulfamates have been assessed for inhibition and binding to CAs, with systematic antimicrobial activity studies also reported.

Family-wide analysis of aminoacyl-sulfamoyl-3-deazaadenosine analogues as inhibitors of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Eur J Med Chem 2018; 148:384-396.

Abstract
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are enzymes that precisely attach an amino acid to its cognate tRNA. This process, which is essential for protein translation, is considered a viable target for the development of novel antimicrobial agents, provided species selective inhibitors can be identified. Aminoacyl-sulfamoyl adenosines (aaSAs) are potent orthologue specific aaRS inhibitors that demonstrate nanomolar affinities in vitro but have limited uptake. Following up on our previous work on substitution of the base moiety, we evaluated the effect of the N3-position of the adenine by synthesizing the corresponding 3-deazaadenosine analogues (aaS3DAs). A typical organism has 20 different aaRS, which can be split into two distinct structural classes. We therefore coupled six different amino acids, equally targeting the two enzyme classes, via the sulfamate bridge to 3-deazaadenosine. Upon evaluation of the inhibitory potency of the obtained analogues, a clear class bias was noticed, with loss of activity for the aaS3DA analogues targeting class II enzymes when compared to the equivalent aaSA. Evaluation of the available crystallographic structures point to the presence of a conserved water molecule which could have importance for base recognition within class II enzymes, a property that can be explored in future drug design efforts.

Abstract
Blocking membrane currents evoked by the activation of purinergic P2X3 receptors localized on nociceptive neurons represents a promising strategy for the development of agents useful for the treatment of chronic pain conditions. Among compounds endowed with such antagonistic action, 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP (TNP-ATP) is an ATP analogue, whose inhibitory activity on P2X receptors has been previously reported. Based on the results of molecular modelling studies performed with homology models of the P2X3 receptor, novel adenosine nucleotide analogues bearing cycloalkyl or arylalkyl substituents replacing the trinitrophenyl moiety of TNP-ATP were designed and synthesized. These new compounds were functionally evaluated on native P2X3 receptors from mouse trigeminal ganglion (TG) sensory neurons using patch clamp recordings under voltage clamp configuration. Our data show that some of these molecules are potent (nanomolar range) and reversible inhibitors of P2X3 receptors, without any apparent effect on trigeminal GABAA and 5-HT3 receptors, whose membrane currents were unaffected by the tested compounds.
