Target-Based Design of Praziquantel Analogs at Cestode TRPMPZQ.
The drug praziquantel (PZQ) has been used for decades to treat clinical and veterinary infections caused by parasitic flatworms. Although PZQ is efficacious against many different types of flukes and tapeworms, PZQ activity is lower against certain types of parasites, including pseudophyllidean cestodes. The target of PZQ is a parasitic flatworm transient receptor potential ion channel (TRPMPZQ), and interrogation of this target affords the opportunity to understand why PZQ efficacy varies between different parasites and how target-based design strategies could help deliver new analogs with improved efficacy against currently hard-to-treat diseases. In this study, we consider natural amino acid variation within cestode TRPMPZQ binding pockets to design thioamide derivatives of PZQ with greater efficacy at pseudophyllidean cestode TRPMPZQ. Target-based design across parasite TRPMPZQ orthologues, as well as at other TRPM paralogues in this ion channel family, provides an opportunity to expand and improve on the current anthelmintic toolbox.
期刊介绍:
ACS Infectious Diseases will be the first journal to highlight chemistry and its role in this multidisciplinary and collaborative research area. The journal will cover a diverse array of topics including, but not limited to:
* Discovery and development of new antimicrobial agents — identified through target- or phenotypic-based approaches as well as compounds that induce synergy with antimicrobials.
* Characterization and validation of drug target or pathways — use of single target and genome-wide knockdown and knockouts, biochemical studies, structural biology, new technologies to facilitate characterization and prioritization of potential drug targets.
* Mechanism of drug resistance — fundamental research that advances our understanding of resistance; strategies to prevent resistance.
* Mechanisms of action — use of genetic, metabolomic, and activity- and affinity-based protein profiling to elucidate the mechanism of action of clinical and experimental antimicrobial agents.
* Host-pathogen interactions — tools for studying host-pathogen interactions, cellular biochemistry of hosts and pathogens, and molecular interactions of pathogens with host microbiota.
* Small molecule vaccine adjuvants for infectious disease.
* Viral and bacterial biochemistry and molecular biology.
