1. Cell Structure Human, animal and plant cells are eukaryotic cells The nucleus contains the genetic blueprint for life (DNA) The fluid contents of the cell are known as the cytoplasm Structures within the cell are known as organelles Mitochondria are the source of energy production Ribosomes are the cell’s protein ‘factories’ Rough endoplasmic reticulum is the location for protein synthesis

2. Cell Membrane Proteins Exterior High [Na+] Interior High [K+] Phospholipid Bilayer Interior High [K+]

2. Cell Membrane Polar Head Group Hydrophobic Tails C H 2 O P N M e 3

2. Cell Membrane Polar Head Group Hydrophobic Tails C H 2 O P N M e 3

2. Cell Membrane The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer The hydrophobic tails interact with each other by van der Waals interactions and are hidden from the aqueous media The polar head groups interact with water at the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane The cell membrane provides a hydrophobic barrier around the cell, preventing the passage of water and polar molecules Proteins are present, floating in the cell membrane Some act as ion channels and carrier proteins

3. Drug targets Proteins Lipids Cell membrane lipids Nucleic acids Receptors Enzymes Carrier proteins Structural proteins (tubulin) Lipids Cell membrane lipids Nucleic acids DNA RNA Carbohydrates Cell surface carbohydrates Antigens and recognition molecules

3. Drug targets Drug targets are large molecules - macromolecules Drugs are generally much smaller than their targets Drugs interact with their targets by binding to binding sites Binding sites are typically hydrophobic pockets on the surface of macromolecules Binding interactions typically involve intermolecular bonds Most drugs are in equilibrium between being bound and unbound to their target Functional groups on the drug are involved in binding interactions and are called binding groups Specific regions within the binding site that are involved in binding interactions are called binding regions

3. Drug targets Drug Binding site Binding regions Binding groups Intermolecular bonds Drug Binding site Macromolecular target Drug Bound drug Macromolecular target Unbound drug

3. Drug targets Binding interactions usually result in an induced fit where the binding site changes shape to accommodate the drug The induced fit may also alter the overall shape of the drug target Important to the pharmacological effect of the drug Induded Fit and Hexokinase LINK

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.1 Electrostatic or ionic bond Strongest of the intermolecular bonds (20-40 kJ mol-1) Takes place between groups of opposite charge The strength of the ionic interaction is inversely proportional to the distance between the two charged groups Stronger interactions occur in hydrophobic environments The strength of interaction drops off less rapidly with distance than with other forms of intermolecular interactions Ionic bonds are the most important initial interactions as a drug enters the binding site

Formulated as Hydrochloride Salt Side chain is ionized and negatively charged Rimantidine (racemic mixture) D44 = Aspartic Acid = Asp44

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.2 Hydrogen bonds Vary in strength Weaker than electrostatic interactions but stronger than van der Waals interactions A hydrogen bond takes place between an electron deficient hydrogen and an electron rich heteroatom (N or O) The electron deficient hydrogen is usually attached to a heteroatom (O or N) The electron deficient hydrogen is called a hydrogen bond donor The electron rich heteroatom is called a hydrogen bond acceptor

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.2 Hydrogen bonds The interaction involves orbitals and is directional Optimum orientation is where the X-H bond points directly to the lone pair on Y such that the angle between X, H and Y is 180o HBA HBD

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.2 Hydrogen bonds Examples of strong hydrogen bond acceptors - carboxylate ion, phosphate ion, tertiary amine Examples of moderate hydrogen bond acceptors - carboxylic acid, amide oxygen, ketone, ester, ether, alcohol Examples of poor hydrogen bond acceptors - sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, aromatic ring, amide nitrogen, aromatic amine Example of good hydrogen bond donors - Quaternary ammonium ion

Sometimes the Hydrogen-bonding networks Can become quite complex

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.3 Van der Waals interactions Very weak interactions (2-4 kJmol-1) Occur between hydrophobic regions of the drug and the target Due to transient areas of high and low electron densities leading to temporary dipoles Interactions drop off rapidly with distance Drug must be close to the binding region for interactions to occur The overall contribution of van der Waals interactions can be crucial to binding Binding site DRUG Hydrophobic regions Transient dipole on drug d+ d- van der Waals interaction d+ d- d- d+

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.4 Dipole-dipole interactions Can occur if the drug and the binding site have dipole moments Dipoles align with each other as the drug enters the binding site Dipole alignment orientates the molecule in the binding site Orientation is beneficial if other binding groups are positioned correctly with respect to the corresponding binding regions Orientation is detrimental if the binding groups are not positioned correctly with respect to corresponding binding regions The strength of the interaction decreases with distance more quickly than with electrostatic interactions, but less quickly than with van der Waals interactions

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.4 Dipole-dipole interactions R C O d+ d- Dipole moment Binding site R C O Localised d ipole moment Binding site

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.4 Ion-dipole interactions Occur where the charge on one molecule interacts with the dipole moment of another Stronger than a dipole-dipole interaction Strength of interaction falls off less rapidly with distance than for a dipole-dipole interaction d+ d- R C O d+ d- R C O Binding site Binding site

4. Intermolecular bonding forces 4.4 Induced dipole interactions Occur where the charge on one molecule induces a dipole on another Occurs between a quaternary ammonium ion and an aromatic ring Binding site d- d+ R N 3 +

5. Desolvation penalties Polar regions of a drug and its target are solvated prior to interaction Desolvation is necessary and requires energy The energy gained by drug-target interactions must be greater than the energy required for desolvation R C O H H O Binding site R C O H Binding site O H R C Binding site Desolvation - Energy penalty Binding - Energy gain

Structured water layer round hydrophobic regions 6. Hydrophobic interactions Hydrophobic regions of a drug and its target are not solvated Water molecules interact with each other and form an ordered layer next to hydrophobic regions - negative entropy Interactions between the hydrophobic interactions of a drug and its target ‘free up’ the ordered water molecules Results in an increase in entropy Beneficial to binding energy Binding site Binding site Drug DRUG Binding Drug DRUG Hydrophobic regions Water Structured water layer round hydrophobic regions Unstructured water Increase in entropy

7. Drug Targets - Cell Membrane Lipids Drugs acting on cell membrane lipids - Anaesthetics and some antibiotics Action of amphotericin B (antifungal agent) - builds tunnels through membrane and drains cell Hydrophilic Hydrophobic region
