Abstract:
:The S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) analogue S-(5'-deoxy-5'-adenosyl)-1-aminoxy-4-(methylsulfonio)-2-cycl opentene (AdoMao) was synthesized in two of its four possible diastereomeric forms using a facile chemoenzymatic route. The trans-1R,4R- and trans-1S,4S-diastereomers of AdoMao, as well as the corresponding diastereomers of the unmethylated precursor molecule nor-AdoMao, were then evaluated as inhibitors of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMet-DC) from both bacterial and human sources. All four of the analogues acted as time-dependent, irreversible inhibitors of AdoMet-DC from Escherichia coli, exhibiting remarkably constant Ki values ranging between 20.6 and 23.7 microM. These analogues also inhibited the human form of AdoMet-DC, although this form of the enzyme was able to discriminate between AdoMao (Ki values of 21.2 microM for the trans-1R,4R form and 19.6 microM for the trans-1S,4S form) and nor AdoMao (Ki values of 95.2 microM for the trans-1R,4R form and 30.9 microM for the trans-1S,4S form). The trans diastereomers of AdoMao and nor-AdoMao were next evaluated for their ability to inhibit trypanosomal growth in vitro against cultured Trypanosoma brucei brucei bloodforms. All four of these analogues were effective growth inhibitors, with IC50 values ranging between 0.9 and 10.1 microM. The two most effective analogues, trans-1S,4S-AdoMao (IC50 0.9 microM) and trans-1S,4S-AdoMao (IC50 3.0 microM) were also effective against two clinical isolates of the pathogenic organism Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, KETRI 243 and KETRI 269. The most promising analogue in all respects was trans-1S,4S-AdoMao, which was subsequently found to have minimal effects on cell growth, AdoMet-DC activity, and intracellular polyamine levels in the sensitive human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60. Thus, the S-adenosylmethionine analogue trans-1S,4S-AdoMao acts as an effective inhibitor of AdoMet-DC and appears to serve as a parasite-specific trypanocidal agent in vitro.
