Virtual screening of a library of commercially available compounds versus the structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lumazine synthase identified 2-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydrobenzo[cd]indole-6-sulfonamido)acetic acid (9) as a possible lead compound. Compound 9 proved to be an effective inhibitor of M. tuberculosis lumazine synthase with a Ki of 70 μM. Lead optimization through replacement of the carboxymethylsulfonamide sidechain with sulfonamides substituted with alkyl phosphates led to a four-carbon phosphate 38 that displayed a moderate increase in enzyme inhibitory activity (Ki 38 μM). Molecular modeling based on known lumazine synthase/inhibitor crystal structures suggests that the main forces stabilizing the present benzindolone/enzyme complexes involve π–π stacking interactions with Trp27 and hydrogen bonding of the phosphates with Arg128, the backbone nitrogens of Gly85 and Gln86, and the side chain hydroxyl of Thr87.
Virtual screening of compounds versus Mycobacterium tuberculosis lumazine synthase put forth a possible lead compound. Lead optimization through replacement of carboxymethylsulfonamide side chain led to compound that display modest enzyme inhibitory activity.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
