Crystal Structure Analysis of Renin-indole-piperazin inhibitor complexes
Structural highlights
DiseaseRENI_HUMAN Defects in REN are a cause of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) [MIM:267430. RTD is an autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype).[1] Defects in REN are the cause of familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy type 2 (HNFJ2) [MIM:613092. It is a renal disease characterized by juvenile onset of hyperuricemia, slowly progressive renal failure and anemia.[2] FunctionRENI_HUMAN Renin is a highly specific endopeptidase, whose only known function is to generate angiotensin I from angiotensinogen in the plasma, initiating a cascade of reactions that produce an elevation of blood pressure and increased sodium retention by the kidney. Publication Abstract from PubMedSelective inhibition of the aspartyl protease renin has gained attraction as an interesting approach to control hypertension and associated cardiovascular risk factors given its unique position in the renin-angiotensin system. Using a combination of high-throughput screening, parallel synthesis, X-ray crystallography and structure-based design, we identified and optimized a novel series of potent and non-chiral indole-3-carboxamides with remarkable potency for renin. The most potent compound 5k displays an IC(50) value of 2nM.
