S-ribosylhomocysteinase (LuxS) catalyzes the cleavage of the thioether bond of S-ribosylhomocysteine (SRH) to produce homocysteine and 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione (DPD), which is the precursor of type 2 autoinducer for bacterial cell-cell communication. In this work, we have synthesized several SRH analogues modified at the ribose C3 position as potential inhibitors of LuxS. While removal or methylation of the C3-OH resulted in simple competitive inhibitors of moderate potency, inversion of the C3 stereochemistry or substitution of fluorine for C3-OH resulted in slow-binding inhibitors of improved potency. The most potent inhibitor showed a K(I)(*) value of 0.43 microM.
S-核糖基高半胱氨酸酶(LuxS)催化S-核糖基高半胱氨酸(SRH)的硫醚键断裂,生成高半胱氨酸和4,5-二羟基-2,3-戊二酮(DPD),DPD是细菌细胞间通讯中2型自诱导物的前体。在本研究中,我们合成了几种在核糖C3位修饰的SRH类似物,作为LuxS的潜在抑制剂。虽然C3-OH的去除或甲基化产生了中等效力的简单竞争性抑制剂,但C3立体化学的反转或用氟取代C3-OH产生了效力提高的慢结合抑制剂。最有效的抑制剂的K(I)(*)值为0.43微摩尔。
