描述 | Glutaminyl cyclase (QC) catalyzes the intramolecular cyclization of N-terminal glutamine residues to pyroglutamic acid (pGlu) under liberation of ammonia. Some peptide hormones, such as tyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), require the pGlu on the N-terminus for their biological activity. PBD-150, a potent human QC (hQC) inhibitor, shows a remarkable inhibitory power, exhibiting a Ki value of 60 nM[1]. Moreover, PBD150 was able to reduce the deposition of pyroglutamate-modified amyloid-β peptides in brain of transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer disease, leading to a significant improvement of learning and memory in those transgenic animals[2]. | ||
作用机制 | The essential H-bond donor function is found in PBD-150, pointing toward an interaction with a hydrophobic pocket. And the donor nitrogen of PBD-150 matches the C-terminal amide nitrogen of glutamine[1]. |
