Human phospholipase A2 complexed with a substrate anologue
|
Overview
Few reported inhibitors of secretory phospholipase A(2) enzymes truly, inhibit the IIa human isoform (hnpsPLA(2)-IIa) noncovalently at, submicromolar concentrations. Herein, the simple chiral precursor, D-tyrosine was derivatised to give a series of potent new inhibitors of, hnpsPLA(2)-IIa. A 2.2-A crystal structure shows an inhibitor bound in the, active site of the enzyme, chelated to a Ca(2+) ion through carboxylate, and amide oxygen atoms, H-bonded through an amide NH group to His48, with, multiple hydrophobic contacts and a T-shaped aromatic-group-His6, interaction. Antiinflammatory activity is also demonstrated for two, compounds administered orally to rats.
