| + | Methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS) is a chemically validated drug target in kinetoplastid parasites Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania donovani. To date, all kinetoplastid MetRS inhibitors described bind in a similar way to an expanded methionine pocket and an adjacent, auxiliary pocket. In the current study, we have identified a structurally novel class of inhibitors containing a 4,6-diamino-substituted pyrazolopyrimidine core (the MetRS02 series). Crystallographic studies revealed that MetRS02 compounds bind to an allosteric pocket in L. major MetRS not previously described, and enzymatic studies demonstrated a noncompetitive mode of inhibition. Homology modeling of the Trypanosoma cruzi MetRS enzyme revealed key differences in the allosteric pocket between the T. cruzi and Leishmania enzymes. These provide a likely explanation for the lower MetRS02 potencies that we observed for the T. cruzi enzyme compared to the Leishmania enzyme. The identification of a new series of MetRS inhibitors and the discovery of a new binding site in kinetoplastid MetRS enzymes provide a novel strategy in the search for new therapeutics for kinetoplastid diseases. | ||
