X-ray Structure of Ketohexokinase in complex with AMP-PNP and fructose
Structural highlights
DiseaseKHK_HUMAN Defects in KHK are the cause of fructosuria (FRUCT) [MIM:229800. Benign defect of intermediary metabolism.[1] [2] FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedA fragment-based drug design paradigm has been successfully applied in the discovery of lead series of ketohexokinase inhibitors. The paradigm consists of three iterations of design, synthesis, and X-ray crystallographic screening to progress low molecular weight fragments to leadlike compounds. Applying electron density of fragments within the protein binding site as defined by X-ray crystallography, one can generate target specific leads without the use of affinity data. Our approach contrasts with most fragment-based drug design methodology where solution activity is a main design guide. Herein we describe the discovery of submicromolar ketohexokinase inhibitors with promising druglike properties.
