Slow-Onset, Potent Inhibition of Mandelate Racemase by 2-Formylphenylboronic Acid. An Unexpected Adduct Clasps the Catalytic Machinery

Abstract: o-Carbonyl arylboronic acids such as 2-formylphenylboronic acid (2-FPBA) are employed in biocompatible conjugation reactions with the resulting iminoboronate adduct stabilized by an intramolecular N–B interaction. However, few studies have utilized these reagents as active site-directed enzyme inhibitors. We show that 2-FPBA is a potent reversible, slow-onset inhibitor of mandelate racemase (MR), an enzyme that has served as a valuable paradigm for understanding enzyme-catalyzed abstraction of an α-proton from… Show more

“…Since the ε-NH 2 group of Lys 166 did not form an N–B interaction with the boron atom of PBA ( vide supra ), we anticipated that Lys 166 might form a Schiff base with the 2-formyl group that would subsequently be stabilized by direct coordination of the lone pair of electrons on the imine nitrogen to the boron atom to form an iminoboronate [107,110]. In accord with these expectations, we discovered that 2-formyl-PBA is a slow-onset inhibitor of MR, exhibiting K i and K i * values of 5.1 µM and 0.26 µM, respectively [105], making it one of the most potent inhibitors of MR identified to-date that does not have any additional substituents on the phenyl ring ( K m / K i * ≈ 3000, figure 3). Furthermore, substitution of Lys 166 by Arg obviated inhibition, confirming that the ε-NH 2 group of Lys was essential for inhibition.…”

“…As shown in panel ( c ), the boronic acid hydroxyl groups of PBA form multiple H-bonds with the side chains of active site residues, in addition to the His 297 N ε 2 –B dative bond. Similarly, the potent inhibition exhibited by 2-formyl-PBA arises from formation of multiple H-bonds between the benzoxaborole adduct and the side chains of active site residues, as well as the Lys 166 N ζ –B dative bond (panel ( d ), PDB ID: 7MQX [105]). In all panels, the ligand and active site residues are shown in stick representation, and the Mg 2+ is represented as a sphere.…”

“…Recently, Bearne and colleagues identified the formation of a benzoxaborole adduct (Scheme 1B) when 2-formylphenylboronic acid complexed with an active site lysine residue in mandelate racemase, demonstrating that alternative reaction pathways are possible within enzymes. 21 In concert with the chemistry of formylphenylboronic acids, boron-containing drugs have emerged as relatively new clinical agents, sampling new chemical space, often with the boron atom invoking a critical interaction with the drug target. 22 This underpins the relevance of boron-containing molecules to intervene in a biological setting.…”
