Human rhinoviruses, the most important etiologic agents of common cold, are messenger-active single-stranded monocistronic RNA viruses that have evolved a highly complex cascade proteolytic processing events to control viral gene expression and replication. Most maturation cleavages within precursor polyprotein mediated by rhinovirus 3C protease (or its immediate precursor, 3CD), cysteine with trypsin-like polypeptide fold. High-resolution crystal structures enzyme from three serotypes been...
Overexpression of yeast DNA topoisomerase II was achieved by placing the coding sequences gene TOP2 downstream an inducible promoter PGAL1 on a multicopy plasmid. By using simple purification procedure, milligram amounts enzyme high specific activity can be obtained from few liters culture. In presence drug VM-26 (teniposide), more than 90% molecules become covalently bound to upon addition protein denaturant sodium dodecyl sulfate. The formation covalent complex used map tyrosine residue...
ABSTRACT AG7088 is a potent, irreversible inhibitor of human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease {inactivation rate constant ( k obs /[I]} = 1,470,000 ± 440,000 M −1 s for HRV 14) that was discovered by protein structure-based drug design methodologies. In H1-HeLa and MRC-5 cell protection assays, inhibited the replication all serotypes (48 48) tested with mean 50% effective concentration (EC 50 ) 0.023 μM (range, 0.003 to 0.081 μM) EC 90 0.082 0.018 0.261 as well related picornaviruses including...
The structure-based design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of various human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease (3CP) inhibitors which incorporate P1 lactam moieties in lieu an L-glutamine residue are described. These compounds comprised a tripeptidyl or peptidomimetic binding determinant ethyl propenoate Michael acceptor moiety forms irreversible covalent adduct with the active site cysteine enzyme. P1-lactam-containing display significantly increased 3CP inhibition activity along...
The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of reversible, nonpeptidic inhibitors human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease (3CP) are reported. A novel series 2,3-dioxindoles (isatins) were designed that utilized a combination protein structure-based drug molecular modeling, structure-activity relationship (SAR). C-2 carbonyl isatin was envisioned to react in the active site HRV 3CP with cysteine responsible for catalytic proteolysis, thus forming stabilized transition state mimic....
The structure-based design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of various 2-pyridone-containing human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease (3CP) inhibitors are described. These compounds comprised a peptidomimetic binding determinant Michael acceptor moiety, which forms an irreversible covalent adduct with the active site cysteine residue enzyme. typically display improved 3CP inhibition properties relative to related peptide-derived molecules along more favorable antiviral properties....
The structure-based design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of various peptide-derived human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease (3CP) inhibitors are described. These compounds comprised an ethyl propenoate Michael acceptor moiety a tripeptidyl binding determinant. systematic modification each amino acid residue present in the determinant as well N-terminal functionality is Such modifications shown to provide irreversible HRV-14 3CP with anti-3CP activities (kobs/[I]) ranging from 60...
The structure-based design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of peptide-derived human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease (3CP) inhibitors are described. These compounds incorporate various Michael acceptor moieties shown to irreversibly bind HRV serotype 14 3CP with inhibition activities (kobs/[I]) ranging from 100 600 000 M-1 s-1. also exhibit antiviral activity when tested against HRV-14-infected H1-HeLa cells EC50's approaching 0.50 μM.

The investigation of tripeptide aldehydes as reversible covalent inhibitors human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease (3CP) is reported. Molecular models based on the apo crystal structure HRV-14 3CP and other trypsin-like serine proteases were constructed to approximate binding peptide substrates, generate transition state P1-P1' amide cleavage, propose novel aldehydes. Glutaminal derivatives have limitations since they exist predominantly in cyclic hemiaminal form. Therefore, several isosteric...
