Refinement and evaluation of a pharmacophore model for flavone derivatives binding to the benzodiazepine site of the GABA(A) receptor.

Abstract:

:To further develop and evaluate a pharmacophore model previously proposed by Cook and co-workers (Drug Des. Discovery 1995, 12, 193-248) for ligands binding to the benzodiazepine site of the GABA(A) receptor, 40 new flavone derivatives have been synthesized and their affinities for the benzodiazepine site have been determined. Two new regions of steric repulsive interactions between ligand and receptor have been characterized, and the receptor region in the vicinity of 6- and 3'-substituents has been mapped out. 2'-Hydroxy substitution is shown to give a significant increase in affinity, which is interpreted in terms of a novel hydrogen bond interaction with the previously proposed hydrogen bond-accepting site A2. On the basis of the results of these studies and the refined pharmacophore model, 5'-bromo-2'-hydroxy-6-methylflavone, the highest affinity flavone derivative reported so far (K(i) = 0.9 nM), was successfully designed. A comparison of the pharmacophore model with a recently proposed alternative model (Marder; et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem., 2001, 9, 323-335) has been made.

  • Analysis of the binding of mixed lineage leukemia 1 (MLL1) and histone 3 peptides to WD repeat domain 5 (WDR5) for the design of inhibitors of the MLL1-WDR5 interaction.

    abstract::MLL1 is a histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferase and a promising new cancer therapeutic target. The catalytic activity of MLL1 is regulated by the formation of a core complex consisting of MLL1, WDR5, RbBP5, and Ash2L. The interaction between WDR5 and MLL1 plays an essential role in regulation of the H3K4 methylt...
