Discovery of small molecule inhibitors that interact with γ-tubulin.

Abstract:

:Recent studies have shown an overexpression of γ-tubulin in human glioblastomas and glioblastoma cell lines. As the 2-year survival rate for glioblastoma is very poor, potential benefit exists for discovering novel chemotherapeutic agents that can inhibit γ-tubulin, which is known to form a ring complex that acts as a microtubule nucleation center. We present experimental evidence that colchicine and combretastatin A-4 bind to γ-tubulin, which are to our knowledge the first drug-like compounds known to interact with γ-tubulin. Molecular dynamics simulations and docking studies were used to analyze the hypothesized γ-tubulin binding domain of these compounds. The suitability of the potential binding modes was evaluated and suggests the subsequent rational design of novel targeted inhibitors of γ-tubulin.
