Abstract:
:GTP cyclohydrolase (GCYH-I) is an enzyme in the folate biosynthesis pathway that has not been previously exploited as an antibiotic target, although several pathogens including N. gonorrhoeae use a form of the enzyme GCYH-IB that is structurally distinct from the human homologue GCYH-IA. A comparison of the crystal structures of GCYH-IA and -IB with the nM inhibitor 8-oxo-GTP bound shows that the active site of GCYH-IB is larger and differently shaped. Based on this structural information, we designed and synthesized a small set of 8-oxo-G derivatives with ether linkages at O6 and O8 expected to displace water molecules from the expanded active site of GCYH-IB. The most potent of these compounds, G3, is selective for GCYH-IB, supporting the premise that potent and selective inhibitors of GCYH-IB could constitute a new class of small molecule antibiotics.
