D‐Tyrosine as a Chiral Precusor to Potent Inhibitors of Human Nonpancreatic Secretory Phospholipase A2 (IIa) with Antiinflammatory Activity

Abstract: Few reported inhibitors of secretory phospholipase A(2) enzymes truly inhibit the IIa human isoform (hnpsPLA(2)-IIa) noncovalently at submicromolar concentrations. Herein, the simple chiral precursor D-tyrosine was derivatised to give a series of potent new inhibitors of hnpsPLA(2)-IIa. A 2.2-A crystal structure shows an inhibitor bound in the active site of the enzyme, chelated to a Ca(2+) ion through carboxylate and amide oxygen atoms, H-bonded through an amide NH group to His48, with multiple hydrophobic co… Show more

“…The target specificity of any drug in vivo can never be completely certain, but there is considerable evidence that KH064 is a highly target-selective drug. We have reported its crystal structure (pdb code: 1kq) in complex with sPLA 2 -IIA (27), and identified its specific interactions within the unusual active site of that enzyme. In vitro radioligand binding and fluorometric/calorimetric functional assays (D.P.…”
