THE ROLE OF WATER MOLECULES IN THE STRUCTURE-BASED DESIGN OF (5-HYDROXYNORVALINE)-2-CYCLOSPORIN: SYNTHESIS, BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY, AND CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS WITH CYCLOPHILIN A
Overview
Analysis of the contact surface of the cyclophilin A (CypA)/cyclosporin A, (CsA, 1) crystal structure delineates a unique cavity between both, molecules in the vicinity of the Abu-2 side chain atoms of 1 (Abu pocket)., Therefore, (5-hydroxynorvaline)-2-cyclosporin (2) was designed and, prepared as a CsA derivative which could mediate additional interactions, within the pocket. The X-ray crystal structure of the CypA/2 complex at, 1.76 A resolution shows that 1 and 2 have identical backbone conformations, and that the introduced hydroxypropyl chain makes indeed the expected, supplemental interactions with CypA. However, 2 has 8-9-fold lower binding, affinity than 1 for CypA. This results from a presumed unfavorable free, energy change associated with the displacement of one of the tightly bound, water molecules within the pocket and a change in prebinding equilibria., The role of the later was assessed by comparing the conformation, distribution of 1 and 2 to that of norvaline-2-cyclosporin (3) and, norvaline-2-(D-MeSer)-3-cyclosporin (4).
