Human Aldose Reductase complexed with a ligand with a new scaffold at 1.26 A
Structural highlights
FunctionALDR_HUMAN Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols with a broad range of catalytic efficiencies. Publication Abstract from PubMedFifteen compounds, sharing an indole-1-acetic acid moiety as a common fragment, were selected from commercial databases for testing aldose reductase inhibition. 3-Mercapto-5H-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indole-5-acetic acid (13) was the most promising inhibitor, with an IC50 in the submicromolar range and high selectivity, relative to aldehyde reductase. The crystal structure of aldose reductase complexed with 13 revealed an interaction pattern explaining its high affinity. Physicochemical parameters underline the excellent "leadlikeness" of 13 as a promising candidate for further structure optimizations.
