Disease
GALK1_HUMAN Defects in GALK1 are the cause of galactosemia II (GALCT2) [MIM:230200. Galactosemia II is an autosomal recessive deficiency characterized by congenital cataracts during infancy and presenile cataracts in the adult population. The cataracts are secondary to accumulation of galactitol in the lenses.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Function
GALK1_HUMAN Major enzyme for galactose metabolism.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Classic galactosemia is a rare disease caused by inherited deficiency of galactose-1 phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT). Accumulation of galactose-1 phosphate (gal-1P) is thought to be the major cause of the chronic complications associated with this disease, which currently has no treatment. Inhibiting galactokinase (GALK1), the enzyme that generates galactose-1 phosphate, has been proposed as a novel strategy for treating classic galactosemia. Our previous work identified a highly selective unique dihydropyrimidine inhibitor against GALK1. With the determination of a co-crystal structure of this inhibitor with human GALK1, we initiated a structure-based structure-activity relationship (SAR) optimization campaign that yielded novel analogs with potent biochemical inhibition (IC50 < 100 nM). Lead compounds were also able to prevent gal-1P accumulation in patient-derived cells at low micromolar concentrations and have pharmacokinetic properties suitable for evaluation in rodent models of galactosemia.
