Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 3.1Å Ligands: 5PS, HEM Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CP51_TRYCC Catalyzes C14-demethylation of lanosterol which is critical for ergosterol biosynthesis. It transforms lanosterol into 4,4'-dimethyl cholesta-8,14,24-triene-3-beta-ol (By similarity). Favors C4 dimethylated substrates, the substrate preference order is 24-methylenedihydrolanosterol > 24,25-dihydrolanosterol > lanosterol > obtusifoliol > norlanosterol. [UniProtKB:P0A512] Publication Abstract from PubMed Sterol 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51) is an important therapeutic target for fungal and parasitic infections due to its key role in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the cell membranes of these pathogenic organisms. We report the development of potent and selective d-tryptophan-derived inhibitors of T. cruzi CYP51. Structural information obtained from the cocrystal structure of CYP51 and (R)-2, which is >1000-fold more potent than its enantiomer (S)-1, was used to guide design of additional analogues. The in vitro efficacy data presented here for (R)-2-(R)-8, together with preliminary in vitro pharmacokinetic data suggest that this new CYP51 inhibitor scaffold series has potential to deliver drug candidates for treatment of T. cruzi infections.
