The tyrosine kinase pp60src (Src) is the prototypical member of a family, of proteins that participate in a broad array of cellular signal, transduction processes, including cell growth, differentiation, survival, adhesion, and migration. Abnormal Src family kinase (SFK) signaling has, been linked to several disease states, including osteoporosis and cancer, metastases. Src has thus emerged as a molecular target for the discovery, of small-molecule inhibitors that regulate Src kinase activity by binding, to the ATP pocket within the catalytic domain. Here, we present crystal, structures of the kinase domain of Src in complex with two purine-based, inhibitors: AP23451, a small-molecule inhibitor designed to inhibit, Src-dependent bone resorption, and AP23464, a small-molecule inhibitor, designed to inhibit the Src-dependent metastatic spread of cancer. In each, case, a trisubstituted purine template core was elaborated using, structure-based drug design to yield a potent Src kinase inhibitor. These, structures represent early examples of high affinity purine-based Src, family kinase-inhibitor complexes, and they provide a detailed view of the, specific protein-ligand interactions that lead to potent inhibition of, Src. In particular, the 3-hydroxyphenethyl N9 substituent of AP23464 forms, unique interactions with the protein that are critical to the picomolar, affinity of this compound for Src. The comparison of these new structures, with two relevant kinase-inhibitor complexes provides a structural basis, for the observed kinase inhibitory selectivity. Further comparisons reveal, a concerted induced-fit movement between the N- and C-terminal lobes of, the kinase that correlates with the affinity of the ligand. Binding of the, most potent inhibitor, AP23464, results in the largest induced-fit, movement, which can be directly linked to interactions of the, hydrophenethyl N9 substituent with a region at the interface between the, two lobes. A less pronounced induced-fit movement is also observed in the, Src-AP23451 complex. These new structures illustrate how the combination, of structural, computational, and medicinal chemistry can be used to, rationalize the process of developing high affinity, selective tyrosine, kinase inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents.
