Design, Synthesis, and Potency of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex E1 Inhibitors against Cyanobacteria.

Abstract:

:Safe and effective algaecides are needed to control agriculturally and environmentally significant algal species. Four series (6, 10, 17, and 21) of 29 novel 4-aminopyrimidine derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized. A part of 10, 17, and 21 displayed potent inhibition of Escherichia coli pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1 (E. coli PDHc-E1) (IC50 = 2.12-18.06 μM) and good inhibition of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (EC50 = 0.7-7.1 μM) and Microcystis sp. FACH 905 (EC50 = 3.7-7.6 μM). The algaecidal activity of these compounds positively correlated with their inhibition of E. coli PDHc-E1. In particular, 21l and 10b exhibited potent algaecidal activity against PCC 6803 (EC50 = 0.7 and 0.8 μM, respectively), values that were 2-fold increased compared to that of copper sulfate (EC50 = 1.8 μM), and showed the best inhibition of cyanobacterium PDHc-E1 (IC50 = 5.10 and 6.06 μM, respectively). 17h and 21e, the best inhibitors of E. coli PDHc-E1, were studied by molecular docking, site-directed mutagenesis, and enzymatic assays. These results revealed that the improved inhibition of novel inhibitors compared with that of the lead compound I was due to the formation of a new hydrogen bond with Leu264 at the active site of E. coli PDHc-E1. The results proved the great potential to obtain effective algaecides via the rational design of PDHc-E1 inhibitors.
