Unusually High Affinity of the PLK Inhibitors RO3280 and GSK461364 to HSA and Its Possible Pharmacokinetic Implications.

ABSTRACT: The binding processes of two Polo-like kinase inhibitors, RO3280 and GSK461364, to the human serum albumin (HSA) protein as well as the protonation equilibria of both compounds have been studied combining absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy experiments together with density functional theory calculations. We found that the charge states of RO3280 and GSK461364 are +2 and +1, respectively, at the physiological pH. Nevertheless, RO3280 binds to HSA in the charge state +1 prior to a deprotonation pre-equilibrium. Binding constants to site I of HSA of 2.23 × 10⁶ and 8.80 × 10⁴ M^-1 were determined for RO3280 and GSK461364, respectively, at 310 K. The binding processes of RO3280 and GSK461364 to HSA are entropy- and enthalpy-driven, respectively. The positive enthalpy found for the RO3280-HSA complex formation could be related to a proton pre-equilibrium of RO3280.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Sunflower trypsin inhibitor-1 (SFTI-1) and Momordica cochinchinensis trypsin inhibitor-II (MCoTI-II) are potent protease inhibitors comprising a cyclic backbone. RESULTS: Elucidation of structure-activity relationships for SFTI-1 and MCoTI-II was used to design inhibitors with enhanced inhibitory activity. CONCLUSION: An analog of MCoTI-II is one of the most potent inhibitors of matriptase. SIGNIFICANCE: These results provide a solid basis for the design of selective peptide inhibitors of matriptase with therapeutic potential. The type II transmembrane serine protease matriptase is a key activator of multiple signaling pathways associated with cell proliferation and modification of the extracellular matrix. Deregulated matriptase activity correlates with a number of diseases, including cancer and hence highly selective matriptase inhibitors may have therapeutic potential. The plant-derived cyclic peptide, sunflower trypsin inhibitor-1 (SFTI-1), is a promising drug scaffold with potent matriptase inhibitory activity. In the current study we have analyzed the structure-activity relationships of SFTI-1 and Momordica cochinchinensis trypsin inhibitor-II (MCoTI-II), a structurally divergent trypsin inhibitor from Momordica cochinchinensis that also contains a cyclic backbone. We show that MCoTI-II is a significantly more potent matriptase inhibitor than SFTI-1 and that all alanine mutants of both peptides, generated using positional scanning mutagenesis, have decreased trypsin affinity, whereas several mutations either maintain or result in enhanced matriptase inhibitory activity. These intriguing results were used to design one of the most potent matriptase inhibitors known to date with a 290 pm equilibrium dissociation constant, and provide the first indication on how to modulate affinity for matriptase over trypsin in cyclic peptides. This information might be useful for the design of more selective and therapeutically relevant inhibitors of matriptase.
