Abstract
Background: SMS family plays a very important role in sphingolipids metabolism and is involved in the membrane mobility and signaling transduction.
Methods: SMS2 subtype was related to a variety of diseases and could be regarded as a promising potential drug target. However, the uncertainty of the binding sites and the molecular mechanism of action limited the development of SMS2 inhibitors. Herein, we discovered a photo-affinity probe PAL-1 targeting SMS2.
Results: The enzyme inhibitory activity and the photo-affinity labeling experiments showed that PAL-1 could be mono-labeled on SMS2.
Conclusion: In summary, starting from the N-arylbenzamides core structure and the minimalist terminal alkyne-containing diazirine photo-crosslinker, we designed and synthesized a photoaffinity probe PAL-1 targeting SMS2. The enzymatic inhibitory activity study showed that PAL-1 exhibited superior selectivities for SMS2 with an IC50 of 0.37 µM over SMS1.
Keywords: Sphingomyelin synthase 2, sphingomyelin, photo-affinity labeling, diazirine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphoethanolamine.
