Ligands: PV2, TLA Related: 4mp2, 4mp7, 4mpe Gene: PDK2, PDHK2 (HUMAN) Activity: [Pyruvate_dehydrogenase_(acetyl-transferring)_kinase [Pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] kinase], with EC number 2.7.11.2 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [PDK2_HUMAN] Serine/threonine kinase that plays a key role in the regulation of glucose and fatty acid metabolism and homeostasis via phosphorylation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase subunits PDHA1 and PDHA2. This inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, and thereby regulates metabolite flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle, down-regulates aerobic respiration and inhibits the formation of acetyl-coenzyme A from pyruvate. Inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase decreases glucose utilization and increases fat metabolism. Mediates cellular responses to insulin. Plays an important role in maintaining normal blood glucose levels and in metabolic adaptation to nutrient availability. Via its regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, plays an important role in maintaining normal blood pH and in preventing the accumulation of ketone bodies under starvation. Plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and in resistance to apoptosis under oxidative stress. Plays a role in p53/TP53-mediated apoptosis. Publication Abstract from PubMed Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoforms (PDKs 1 - 4) negatively regulate activity of the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) by reversible phosphorylation. PDK isoforms are up-regulated in obesity, diabetes, heart failure and cancer and are potential therapeutic targets for these important human diseases. Here, we employed structure-guided design to convert a known Hsp90 inhibitor to a series of highly specific PDK inhibitors, based on structural conservation in the ATP-binding pocket. The key step involved the substitution of a carbonyl group in the parent compound with a sulfonyl in the PDK inhibitors. The final compound of this series, 2-[(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)sulfonyl] isoindoline-4,6-diol, designated PS10, inhibits all four PDK isoforms with IC50 = 0.8 muM for PDK2. The administration of PS10 (70 mg/kg) to diet-induced obese mice significantly augments PDC activity with reduced phosphorylation in different tissues. Prolonged PS10 treatments result in improved glucose tolerance and notably lessened hepatic steatosis in the mouse model. The results support the pharmacological approach of targeting PDK to control both glucose and fat levels in obesity and type 2 diabetes.
