Disease

DYR_HUMAN Defects in DHFR are the cause of megaloblastic anemia due to dihydrofolate reductase deficiency (DHFRD) [MIM:613839. DHFRD is an inborn error of metabolism, characterized by megaloblastic anemia and/or pancytopenia, severe cerebral folate deficiency, and cerebral tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. Clinical features include variable neurologic symptoms, ranging from severe developmental delay and generalized seizures in infancy, to childhood absence epilepsy with learning difficulties, to lack of symptoms.^[1] ^[2]

Function

DYR_HUMAN Key enzyme in folate metabolism. Contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway. Catalyzes an essential reaction for de novo glycine and purine synthesis, and for DNA precursor synthesis. Binds its own mRNA and that of DHFRL1.^[3] ^[4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Pyrimethamine (Pyr), a known dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor, has long been used to treat toxoplasmosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii (Tg) infection. However, Pyr is effective only at high doses with associated toxicity to patients, calling for safer alternative treatments. In this study, we investigated a series of Pyr analogues, previously developed as DHFR inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum bifunctional DHFR-thymidylate synthase (PfDHFR-TS), for their activity against T. gondii DHFR-TS (TgDHFR-TS). Of these, a set of compounds with a substitution at the C(6) position of the pyrimidine ring exhibited high binding affinities (in a low nanomolar range) against TgDHFR-TS and in vitro T. gondii inhibitory activity. Three-dimensional structures of TgDHFR-TS reported here include the ternary complexes with Pyr, P39, or P40. A comparison of these structures showed the minor steric strain between the p-chlorophenyl group of Pyr and Thr83 of TgDHFR-TS. Such a conflict was relieved in the complexes with the two analogues, P39 and P40, explaining their highest binding affinities described herein. Moreover, these structures suggested that the hydrophobic environment in the active-site pocket could be used for drug design to increase the potency and selectivity of antifolate inhibitors. These findings would accelerate the development of new antifolate drugs to treat toxoplasmosis.
