Novel concept of enzyme selective nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-modified inhibitors based on enzyme taxonomy from the diphosphate conformation of NAD

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2015 Nov 15;25(22):5133-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2015.10.005. Epub 2015 Oct 9.

Abstract

The dihedral angle θ of the diphosphate part of NAD(P) were investigated to distinguish the differences in the binding-conformation of NAD(P) to enzymes and to create an enzyme taxonomy. Furthermore, new inhibitors with fixed dihedral angles showed that enzymes could recognize the differences in the dihedral angle θ. We suggest the taxonomy and the dihedral angle θ are important values for chemists to consider when designing inhibitors and drugs that target enzymes.

Keywords: Conformation; Diphosphate; Enzyme selective inhibitor; Enzyme taxonomy; NAD(P).
