Antifungal drugs lose effectiveness due to other Candida species and resistance. New medications are thus required. Secreted aspartic protease of C. parapsilosis (Sapp1p) is a promising target. We have thus solved the crystal structures of Sapp1p complexed to four peptidomimetic inhibitors. Three potent inhibitors (K(i): 0.1, 0.4, 6.6 nM) resembled pepstatin A (K(i): 0.3 nM), a general aspartic protease inhibitor, in terms of their interactions with Sapp1p. However, the weaker inhibitor (K(i): 14.6 nM) formed fewer nonpolar contacts with Sapp1p, similarly to the smaller HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir (K(i): 1.9 microM), which, moreover, formed fewer H-bonds. The analyses have revealed the structural determinants of the subnanomolar inhibition of C. parapsilosis aspartic protease. Because of the high similarity between Saps from different Candida species, these results can further be used for the design of potent and specific Sap inhibitor-based antimycotic drugs.
