Soluble epoxide hydrolase in complex with 1-(4-((4-(tert-butyl)morpholin-2-yl)methoxy)phenyl)-3-cyclohexylurea
Structural highlights
Function[HYES_HUMAN] Bifunctional enzyme. The C-terminal domain has epoxide hydrolase activity and acts on epoxides (alkene oxides, oxiranes) and arene oxides. Plays a role in xenobiotic metabolism by degrading potentially toxic epoxides. Also determines steady-state levels of physiological mediators. The N-terminal domain has lipid phosphatase activity, with the highest activity towards threo-9,10-phosphonooxy-hydroxy-octadecanoic acid, followed by erythro-9,10-phosphonooxy-hydroxy-octadecanoic acid, 12-phosphonooxy-octadec-9Z-enoic acid, 12-phosphonooxy-octadec-9E-enoic acid, and p-nitrophenyl phospate.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedSelective optimization of side activities is a valuable source of novel lead structures in drug discovery. In this study, a computer-aided approach was used to deorphanize the pleiotropic cholesterol-lowering effects of the beta-blocker talinolol, which result from the inhibition of the enzyme soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). X-ray structure analysis of the sEH in complex with talinolol enables a straightforward optimization of inhibitory potency. The resulting lead structure exhibited in vivo activity in a rat model of diabetic neuropatic pain.
