A successful structure-based design of a class of non-peptide small-molecule MDM2 inhibitors targeting the p53-MDM2 protein-protein interaction is reported. The most potent compound 1d binds to MDM2 protein with a Ki value of 86 nM and is 18 times more potent than a natural p53 peptide (residues 16-27). Compound 1d is potent in inhibition of cell growth in LNCaP prostate cancer cells with wild-type p53 and shows only a weak activity in PC-3 prostate cancer cells with a deleted p53. Importantly, 1d has a minimal toxicity to normal prostate epithelial cells. Our studies provide a convincing example that structure-based strategy can be employed to design highly potent, non-peptide, cell-permeable, small-molecule inhibitors to target protein-protein interaction, which remains a very challenging area in chemical biology and drug design.
报道了一类基于结构设计的非肽小分子MDM2抑制剂,其靶向p53-MDM2蛋白-蛋白相互作用。最有效的化合物1d与MDM2蛋白结合,Ki值为86 nM,比天然p53肽(第16-27位残基)的活性高18倍。化合物1d对具有野生型p53的LNCaP前列腺癌细胞的细胞生长具有强效抑制作用,而对p53缺失的PC-3前列腺癌细胞仅表现出微弱活性。重要的是,1d对正常前列腺上皮细胞的毒性极小。我们的研究提供了一个令人信服的例子,即基于结构的策略可用于设计高效、非肽、细胞可渗透的小分子抑制剂来靶向蛋白-蛋白相互作用,这在化学生物学和药物设计中仍然是一个极具挑战性的领域。
