Indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives as allosteric inhibitors of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase
Structural highlights
DiseaseF16P1_HUMAN Defects in FBP1 are the cause of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency (FBPD) [MIM:229700. FBPD is inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder mainly in the liver and causes life-threatening episodes of hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis (lactacidemia) in newborn infants or young children.[1] [2] FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedLiver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is a key enzyme in the gluconeogenesis, and its inhibitors are expected to be novel antidiabetic agents. Herein, a series of new indole and benzofuran analogues were designed and synthesized to evaluate the inhibitory activity against FBPase. As a result, the novel FBPase inhibitors bearing N-acylsulfonamide moiety on the 3-position of the indole-2-carboxylic acid scaffold (compounds 22f and 22g) were identified with IC(50)s at the submicromolar levels. Three X-ray crystal structures of the complexes were solved and revealed the structural basis for the inhibitory activity. The chemoinformatics analysis further disclosed the distinct binding features of this class of inhibitors, providing an insight for further modifications to create structurally distinct FBPase inhibitors with high potency and drug-like properties.
