Crystal Structure of Cathepsin S in complex with a Nonpeptidic Inhibitor.
Overview
The substrate activity screening method, a substrate-based fragment, identification and optimization method for the development of enzyme, inhibitors, was previously applied to cathepsin S to obtain low nanomolar, 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole-based aldehyde inhibitors (Wood, W. J., L.; Patterson, A. W.; Tsuruoka, H.; Jain, R. K.; Ellman, J. A. J. Am., Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 15521-15527). Replacement of the metabolically, labile aldehyde pharmacophore with the nitrile pharmacophore provided, inhibitors with moderate potency for cathepsin S. The inhibitors showed, good selectivity over cathepsins B and L but no selectivity over cathepsin, K. X-ray structures of two crystal forms (1.5 and 1.9 A) of a complex, between cathepsin S and a triazole inhibitor incorporating a chloromethyl, ketone pharmacophore guided the design of triazole substrates with, increased cleavage efficiency and selectivity for cathepsin S over, cathepsins B, L, and K. Conversion of select substrates to nitrile, inhibitors yielded a low molecular weight (414 Da) and potent (15 nM), cathepsin S inhibitor that showed >1000-fold selectivity over cathepsins, B, L, and K.
