Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biochemical pharmacy, and particularly relates to a lead compound for inhibiting the activity of human LRRK2 kinase by taking leucine-rich repeat sequence kinase 2 (LRRK 2) protein as a target and application of a medicinal salt thereof in preparation of LRRK2 related disease drugs.
Background
LRRK2 is a large protein containing 2527 amino acids, belongs to the ROCO protein Kinase family, and comprises six domains of ARM, ANK, LRR, roc-COR, kinase, WD40 and the like. The Roc-COR domain has GTPase activity and binds to guanine nucleotides via the phosphate binding motif (P-loop) region and hydrolyzes GTP (Biosa A et al, human molecular genetics.2013,22 (6): 1140-56). The Kinase domain has ATP Kinase activity. Kinase domains have been shown to phosphorylate a variety of cellular proteins in vitro, but endogenous substrates have not yet been established. LRRK2 has been found to be widely expressed in brain, heart, kidney, lung, liver and some immune cells, and is widely involved in cellular processes including mitochondrial maintenance, synaptic vesicle cycling, autophagy, lysosomal biology, cytoskeletal regulation, neurite outgrowth regulation and translational control (Wallings R et al, the FEBS journal,2015,282 (15): 2806-26). The most common pathogenic mutation of LRRK2 is the G2019S mutation of the kinase domain, and the G2019S mutation in LRRK2 is reported to cause 5-6% familial and 1-2% sporadic parkinson' S disease, a risk factor for sporadic PD (Chen J et al, european neurology,2018,79 (5-6): 256-65.). Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease, has a very complex pathogenesis and is the result of the combined action of multiple factors such as genes, environment and the like. Approximately 80% of PD patients are of unknown etiology and are idiopathic, while the remaining 20% of cases are considered hereditary (Bhat S et al Computers in biology and medicine,2018, 102. Of these, LRRK2 mutations are the most common cause of autosomal dominant inheritance of Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 mutations account for 1% in sporadic PD cases, 5% in all familial PD cases, and 2-3% of all PD cases (Alessi DR et al Science,2018,360 (6384): 36-37). The G2019S mutation increased the protein kinase activity of LRRK2 by about 2-fold, and it is presumed that the G2019S mutation caused the increase of the kinase activity of LRRK2 by enhancing the autophosphorylation level of LRRK2 and the phosphorylation level of a substrate, affecting synaptic transmission and autophagy functions, and inhibiting the growth of neurites, resulting in a defect in the growth of dopamine neurons (Steger M et al, eLife,2016,5.Cookson MR et al, nature reviews Neuroscience,2010,11 (12): 791-7). Recent studies have found that idiopathic PD patients without mutations also have LRRK2 protein overactivation, autophosphorylation, or increased expression, suggesting that LRRK2, whether mutated or not, plays a key role in PD development, participating in pathogenic processes (Di Maio R et al Science metabolic media, 2018,10 (451)). Taken together, elevated kinase activity of LRRK2 and its mutants is a significant cause of neuronal death, suggesting that controlling kinase activity of LRRK2 is a strategy for treating PD.
In addition, it has been suggested that LRRK2 may be involved in the activation and maturation of immune cells within the immune system, controlling free radical burst against pathogens in macrophages, and modulating neuroinflammation through cytokine signaling. The role of LRRK2 in immune response modulation may demonstrate The genetic relevance of LRRK2 to susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease and leprosy (Wallings R et al. The FEBS journal.2015,282 (15): 2806-26.Hui KY et al. Sci Transl Med.2018Jan 10 (423). Furthermore, LRRK2 is able to phosphorylate the APP protein, the precursor of β amyloid protein causing alzheimer's disease, and the phosphorylated APP protein is toxic to cells after entering the nucleus (Chen ZC et al Sci signal.2017jul 18 (488)), suggesting a correlation of LRRK2 with alzheimer's disease.
The LRRK2 inhibitor can achieve the purpose of treating Parkinson's disease, alzheimer's disease, inflammatory bowel disease and leprosy by inhibiting the activity of LRRK2 kinase, most of LRRK2 inhibitors researched at present are ATP competitive type I kinase inhibitors, and most of LRRK2 inhibitors have the problems of insufficient specificity, incapability of passing through a blood brain barrier, certain toxicity and the like (Liu M et al, biochemistry.2013,52 (10): 1725-36), and an improved LRRK2 inhibitor with a novel framework still needs to be found.
Virtual screening (virtual screening) is a common method in the development of new drugs, and the method screens out chemical molecules with possible therapeutic effects by selecting a small molecule database and performing a calculation method, researches the binding effect of the chemical molecules and drug targets, and finally selects a compound with highest interaction binding force as a lead compound and uses the compound as a next step for research. Compared with the physical drug screening method, the virtual screening method has obvious advantages of using a computer, finding new candidate drugs more quickly and economically, reducing the cost of drug screening and shortening the research and development period of new drugs.

In order to obtain a more stable and reasonable LRRK2 kinase domain structure, the molecular dynamics simulation of 200 ns is further carried out on the structure after homologous modeling. Then, stable 3 representative protein structures are obtained through cluster analysis, a re-docking method and the investigation of a Laplace diagram and are used for virtual screening in the future.

By usingThe Canvas module in the software clustered the resulting compounds and selected 28 compounds (see structural formula below) for the next activity assay, 26 of which were from the Chemdiv database and 2 from the SPECS library.
2. Inhibitory effect of virtually screened 28 small molecule compounds on LRRK2 kinase activity
The ability of 28 small-molecule compounds to inhibit the activity of LRRK2 kinase is detected by using a Caliper mobility shift assay method, and the fact that the small-molecule compounds LY2019-005 have good kinase activity inhibition effects on LRRK2 proteins of wild type G2019S and mutant G2019S is found (as shown in figure 3), and half effective inhibition concentrations of the small-molecule compounds LY2019-005 in inhibiting LRRK2 kinase are 424nM (wild type) and 378nM (G2019S mutant).
