Big Questions in the Lab

{In the spirit of Hamming} 1. Can we improve how

science is disseminated

and comprehended?

2. What is the ancestry and

organization of the protein

structure universe and

what can we learn from it?

3. Are there alternative ways

to represent proteins from

which we can learn

something new?

4. What really happens when

we take a drug?

5. Can we contribute to the

treatment of neglected

{tropical} diseases?

Our Approach

• We characterize a known protein-ligand binding site from a 3D structure (primary site) and search for similar sites (secondary sites) on a proteome wide scale independent of global structure similarity

• We try a static and dynamic network-based approach to understand the implications of drug binding to multiple sites

Scoring

The Point is this Approach Can Now be Applied

on a Proteome-wide Scale

• Scores for binding site

matching by SOIPPA follow

an extreme value distribution

(EVD). Benchmark studies

show that the EVD model

performs at least two-orders

faster and is more accurate

than the non-parametric

statistical method in the

previous SOIPPA version

• Nelfinavir can inhibit receptor tyrosine kinase(s)

• Nelfinavir can reduce Akt activation

• Our goal:

Other Experimental Evidence to Show Nelfinavir inhibition on

EGFR, IGF1R, CDK2 and Abl is Supportive

The inhibitions of Nelfinavir on IGF1R, EGFR, Akt activity

were detected by immunoblotting.

The inhibition of Nelfinavir on Akt activity is less than a

known PI3K inhibitor

Nelfinavir inhibits growth of human melanoma cells

Nelfinavir induces G1 arrest through inhibition

of CDK2 activity.

Such inhibition is not caused by inhibition of Akt

signaling.

Summary

• The HIV-1 drug Nelfinavir appears to be

a broad spectrum low affinity kinase

inhibitor

• Most targets are upstream of the

PI3K/Akt pathway

• Findings are consistent with the

experimental literature

• More direct experiment is needed

Case Study: Torcetrapib Side Effect

• Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors treat

cardiovascular disease by raising HDL and lowering LDL

cholesterol (Torcetrapib, Anacetrapib, JTT-705).

• Torcetrapib withdrawn due to occasional lethal

side effect, severe hypertension.

• Cause of hypertension undetermined; off-target effects

suggested.

• Predicted off-targets include metabolic enzymes. Renal function

is strong determinant of blood pressure. Causal off-targets may be

found through modeling kidney metabolism.

• Entacapone and tolcapone shown to have potential for repositioning

• Direct mechanism of action avoids M. tuberculosis resistance mechanisms

• Possess excellent safety profiles with few side effects – already on the market

• In vivo support

• Assay of direct binding of entacapone and tolcapone to InhA reveals a possible lead with no chemical relationship to existing drugs

Summary from the TB Alliance

– Medicinal Chemistry

• The minimal inhibitory concentration

(MIC) of 260 uM is higher than usually

considered

• MIC is 65x the estimated plasma

concentration

• Have other InhA inhibitors in the

pipeline
