(ODC) application on
Technical field
The present invention relates to ornithine decarboxylase (Ornithine decarboxylase;ODC micromolecular inhibitor) and its
Using, and in particular to the micromolecular inhibitor of source of people ornithine decarboxylase and its application in inhibition and killing tumor cell.
Background technique
Protein is one of main constituents of organism, is the main matter for completing various vital movements.Various
In protein, protease is most important to vital movement, the intracorporal biochemical reaction process of almost all creatures all by protease into
Row catalysis.There is the activity of various protease stringent regulatory mechanism to cause once its regulatory mechanism goes wrong in organism
The hyperactivity of protease, too low or complete deactivation, can all cause corresponding various diseases.Therefore, it is adjusted by drug
The activity for controlling protease makes it restore and be maintained at normal level, has very important theory significance and realistic meaning.With knot
Drug design based on structure, is the very important means designed using protein as the drug of target.
Polyamines (polyamines) is a kind of positively charged cation micro molecule generated from amino acid metabolism, in all lifes
All exist in object, it is all indispensable to cell growth, differentiation, survival and natural biological function etc..The more positive charges of polyamines band
Characteristic, enable them to make by forming electrostatic with negatively charged large biological molecule (DNA, RNA, protein, cell membrane etc.)
With to regulate and control very extensive biological process, including chromosome knob is configured to, DNA is synthesized and stabilization, DNA replication dna, transcription
It is generated with translation, protein phosphorylation, ribosomes, ion channel and regulation, the radicals scavenging of film surface receptor etc..Natural
There are many kinds of polyamines.In mammals, there are three types of naturally occurring, i.e. putrescine (putrescine), spermidine
(spermidine), spermine (spermine), they are essential to mammal normal growth and development.Since polyamines has
Important biological function, Intracellular levels are by stringent regulation.It is more such as tumour cell in the cell quickly bred
Amine level and ODC expression also can rise and lack of proper care.Polyamine level increase, along with cell Proliferation accelerate, apoptosis reduce, with
And tumor-infiltrated and metastasis related gene expression raising etc..Therefore, the regulation of polyamines, becomes oncotherapy and drug is ground
An important means in hair.
The starting material of Polyamine Metabolism is ornithine (ornithine), it is arginine in urea cycle (urea
Cycle the reaction product being catalyzed in) by arginase (arginase).ODC is first enzyme of polyamines route of synthesis, catalysis from
Ornithine (ornithine) arrives the reaction of putrescine, and step catalysis reaction is also a rate-limiting step of polyamines route of synthesis.Cause
This, synthesizes ODC inhibitor, inhibits the generation of putrescine, be a currently very popular oncotherapy approach.Simultaneously as sick
Pathogenic microorganism is also required to normal polyamine level, and ODC inhibitor also becomes for pathogenic microorganism (as led to African typanosomiasis nagana
Trypanosoma bocagei) important target.
Currently, the inhibitor DFMO (alpha-difluoromethyl ornithine) of ODC has been used for clinic, assists the chemotherapy of cancer.
But it is weaker with the binding ability of ODC, and activity is very high, and due to being the suicide inhibitor for forming covalent bond with ODC, poison
Side effect is very big.Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop the ODC new inhibitor with more preferable effect.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is provide a kind of for the novel small of ODC by computer assisted high-flux medicaments sifting
Molecule inhibitor is applied to the inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, may can be used for preparing treatment tumour, pathogenic microorganism
The drug of infection.Specifically:
A kind of micromolecular inhibitor containing tropolone, the structural formula of the micromolecular inhibitor are as follows:

The above-mentioned source of people ODC sequence that we use, with database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Nuccore/NM_002539.1 the sequence in) has a base variation, and (C of box label is T in database sequence, corresponding
Amino acid cysteine is become from arginine), but do not influence its activity.
2. the expression of source of people ODC albumen
Above-mentioned pET28a-hODC plasmid is passed through into CaCl2Method is transformed into e. coli strain bl21, and by card, that is mould
Element is screened.The bacterial strain that will be grown on Luria-Bertani (LB) culture plate containing kanamycin, is seeded to containing card
In the LB liquid medium of that mycin, 37 DEG C, 250rpm cultivate to logarithmic growth phase, then add IPTG (isopropylthio half
Lactoside) to 0.5mM, 28 DEG C inducing expression 4 hours.Finally, bacterium is collected by centrifugation.
3. the purifying of source of people ODC albumen
By the bacterium of above-mentioned collection, with lysate (50mM Tris/HCl, pH 8.0,300mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, 1mM
PMSF, 5mM imidazole.) it suspends again, cell cracking is then carried out by ultrasonic method.Then by lysate 4 DEG C,
After 12000 turns of centrifugations, retain supernatant.Supernatant is combined and is purified using Ni-NTA His label protein combination filler, people
The elution buffer of source ODC albumen is 50mM Tris/HCl, pH 8.0,300mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, 100mM
imidazole。
4. the Activity determination of source of people ODC albumen
In the EP pipe of 1.5mL, (the dissolution in 150mM PBS (pH 7.1) of 400uL substrate reactions mixture is added
17.57ul beta -mercaptoethanol, 55.84mg 1.5mM EDTA disalt sodium, 75nM PLP liquid storage, 2mM ornithine hydrochloride).So
Afterwards, the ODC albumen of 50ug is added.EP pipe is placed on 30min in 37 DEG C of water-baths after mixing.Then it is added the three of 400uL 10%
Monoxone terminates reaction.Room temperature is centrifuged 5000rpm, 5min.100uL supernatant is taken out, it is mixed with the NaOH solution of 200uL 4mol/L
It closes, adds 400uL n-amyl alcohol, be sufficiently mixed.2000rpm is centrifuged 5min, upper liquid 200uL is transferred in new EP pipe,
200uL sodium tetraborate (0.1mol/L, pH8.0) is added to be sufficiently mixed.Then 200uL trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (10mmol/ is added
L), it is sufficiently mixed.400uL DMSO is added, 1min is sufficiently mixed.3000rpm is centrifuged 5min.Upper liquid is taken out to 96 orifice plates
In, with the light absorption value at microplate reader detection 426nm.
5. the detection of the inhibitory activity of inhibitor on human source ODC albumen
In above-mentioned Activity determination step, after 400uL substrate reactions mixture is added, small-molecule drug is added immediately and mixes
It closes.Subsequent step is the same.
It is calculated by the following formula out ODC inhibiting rate
Compare poor=enzyme not enzyme control group mean OD value of control group mean OD value-
Test poor=enzyme not enzyme experimental group group mean OD value of experimental group mean OD value-
Inhibiting rate=(control difference-experiment poor)/control is poor × and 100%
The inhibitory effect of the micromolecular inhibitor obtained according to the method described above is as shown in Figure 1, as can be seen from the figure exist
50% or more inhibit concentration when, which can inhibit the activity of ODC, and rejection ability is suitable with the DFMO of 2.5mM.
6. using mtt assay detection inhibitor to the fragmentation effect of tumour cell
By A549 cell inoculation into 96 porocyte culture plates, 2000 cells/wells of inoculum density, culture medium RPMI-
1640,10% calf serum, 1% chain/penicillin, the hole volume 100uL/.After being cultivated 24 hours in 37 DEG C of cell incubators, add
Enter the 100uL diluted small-molecule drug of RPMI-1640 or culture medium.After continuing culture 60 hours, culture medium is sucked, is added
After 100uL MTT (final concentration 250ug/mL), continue culture 4 hours.Then culture solution is sucked, 150uL DMSO is added, is shaking
Low-speed oscillation 15min on bed, dissolves crystal sufficiently.Finally, reading the light absorption value at 490nm using microplate reader.
The mtt assay detection inhibitor obtained according to the method described above is to the fragmentation effect of tumour cell as shown in Fig. 2, from figure
It can be seen that the drug is able to suppress and killing tumor cell, but presses down below 50% in the concentration inhibited 50% or more
Ability is very weak when the concentration of system.
